Konitama started a Kickstarter campaign this week for Cloudscape, an open-world action adventure survival game coming from Chris Gottron, a veteran animator artist from popular shows like SpongeBob Squarepants, She-ra, and The Fairly OddParents. The $50,000 goal has already been met. With that target reached, the project has been confirmed for Switch as well.
Here’s an overview of Cloudscape, along with a trailer:
Success is continuing the Cotton series with a brand new entry for Switch. Cotton Rock ‘n’ Roll is in development and will launch later this year, the company announced today.
Not much is known about Cotton Rock ‘n’ Roll at present. Shoot ’em up gameplay can be expected while characters Nata de Cotton, Silk, and Appli-Ke Pumpkin will be present. Success has also confirmed plans to release a limited edition, which includes a Nendoroid figure, Cotton 30th anniversary compendium, and soundtrack CD.

The story event The Star of the Contest is live now in Pokemon Masters EX. This event features the trainers Dawn, Wallace, and Fantina, and special prizes can be earned from the Prize Box after completing missions for Prize Coins. This event will be live until July 7, 2021 at 10:59pm PT.

It looks like Metroid: Samus Returns is not the only Metroid game that is getting a boost in sales from the recently announced Metroid Dread. The Wii U Virtual Console is also seeing its own Metroid boom, as Metroid: Zero Mission sits at number 1 on the best sellers list and Metroid Fusion ranks at number 2. Even Metroid Prime: Trilogy is coming in at number 4 on that list of best sellers.

This is no doubt due to the hype behind Metroid Dread being announced at E3 2021, and it shows a trend with the Metroid: Samus Returns rising in the sales charts on 3DS. We’ll see if the trend continues leading up to Metroid Dread’s October 8 release.
The beta test for Pokemon UNITE is live now in Japan, meaning players can download the game for the Switch and play it during the Network Test period. This test is live from June 24 to 26 in Japan and the software can be downloaded from the eShop with a Japanese Nintendo account. The entire file size of the game is 1020MB and it can be played in handled, tabletop, or docked mode.
There doesn’t seem to be any beta coming for Switch in other regions (there was some mobile tests for other regions, but no Switch tests), so this is the final chance to try out the game early before it releases in July. Players of any residence can try it out via the Japanese eShop (with a Japanese Nintendo account), so feel free to try it out if interested.
