NIS America has been hosting Switch eShop sales pretty regularly, and another one began this week featuring the lowest prices ever for The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III and IV, Ys IX: Monstrum Nox, and more. Discounts are available for up to 90 percent off.
Here’s the full lineup of games:
Today, we’re looking at a Pokemon X and Y leak from March 2014 that contained cut story elements that wound up reused in subsequent games.
Pokemon X and Y were the first main series game in full 3D. All of the characters, environments, and the Pokemon themselves were fully modeled and animated for the first time ever, which marked a big leap forward for the series. Despite this giant leap in technology, though, X and Y aren’t exactly the most loved Pokemon games (though they do have their fair share of dedicated fans). In a strange way, X and Y are something of an anomaly. Generation 6 is the only generation that didn’t have a third version game, for instance – there was never a Pokemon Z or a Pokemon X2 or Y2. In fact, Zygarde had new forms introduced to it in Pokemon Sun and Moon, a completely separate generation. So what happened here?
In March 2014, a user going by the name “XYSider” posted a giant leak on 4chan discussing story points and mechanics that wound up cut from the final game due to time constraints. This leak is absolutely huge in terms of size, so we’re not writing today on the assumption that it’s all true. That being said, for being posted in March 2014, a few elements from this leak wound up coming true in some way or another in future games. So today, we’re taking a look at every part of this leak and examining all of the things that came to fruition – either coincidentally or because maybe it was real – in Pokemon games that came after X and Y.
For those looking to get a closer look at Elrentaros Wanderings, we’ve got you covered with new gameplay. 47 minutes of footage is available.
Below is an official overview of the title:
Shadow Gangs landed on Switch a few years ago, and the IP is expanding with the upcoming project Shadow Gangs Zero.
The team took to Kickstarter where it achieved immediate success. It’ll be a month before the campaign ends, and yet the total is rising with well over $60,000 raised thus far.
Kluk Digital has unveiled its new game Wasteland Waste Disposal, and it’s confirmed for upcoming release on Switch. The studio did not provide information about launch timing.
Wasteland Waste Disposal is an open world survival crafting game in which players go on a journey through a post-apocalyptic wasteland with a changing ecosystem you try to fix. Players will command and run a moving waste refinement fortress (plus its crew) and cleanse the highly toxic post-apocalyptic wasteland, which was devastated by a catastrophic event.
Here’s a bunch of additional details:
Deep Beyond is making its way to Switch, publisher Purple Tree and developer Avix announced today. The game launches on September 13, 2024.

The addition of Iroh marks the end of the game’s season pass, and as of now, no further DLC characters have been announced.
The 2024 Pokemon World Championships event is now in full spring, and to celebrate, a new distribution just went live that offers a special Sylveon.
