Alongside Nintendo’s latest financial results, the company has included the traditional release schedule for Switch. The document highlights upcoming projects from both its first-party output and third-party studios.
Here’s the complete schedule:
New and revival events are live now in Pokemon Masters EX. First off, the Legendary Arena has revived its Azelf event, and this revival brings all new Event missions in addition to the previous content.
The other revival is for the Triple Feature Spotlight Scout which gives players an increased chance to scout the five star sync pairs of: Burgh & Leavanny, Grimsley & Liepard, and Elesa & Zebstrika. Up to 15 custom power-ups can also be drawn for these sync pairs during this Scout. Both of these events last until May 19, 2021 at 10:59pm PT.
The new event live now is Phase 1 of the Weather Alert special event. Players can earn Weather Survey tickets by completing event areas which will be used in Phase 2 for rewards. This second phase will start on May 16, 2021.
It looks like Raw Fury’s Call of the Sea could be coming to Switch. This puzzle adventure game was originally released in late 2020 on Xbox consoles and PC and while a PlayStation port has been announced, there has been no word on it coming to Switch.
Well, now a rating on the Taiwanese ratings board has popped up for the game and its listed platform is the Switch (first spotted by Gematsu):
This could mean that the game is coming to the system soon, even though there has been no official word. However, for now, we’ll just have to wait to see if an announcement comes out soon.
Thanks to an eShop listing, we now have a release date for Astalon: Tears of The Earth. Dangen Entertainment and LABSworks will release the action platformer on June 3, the store page confirms.
Here’s an overview of Astalon: Tears of The Earth, along with a trailer:

Nintendo has announced Game Builder Garage, a new piece of software for Switch that lets users create and share their own games. It will launch on June 11.
Game Builder Garage features Lesson Mode that’ll teach players about using Nodon to make different projects and “the basic concept of visual programming in step-by-step, interactive lessons”. Also included is Free Programming mode and the ability to exchange and download games with friends and family over the internet or via a local wireless connection. It will be possible to build games using a compatible mouse that is plugged into the USB port on the Switch dock.
Here’s the full announcement for Game Builder Garage:
Based on the latest sales from the UK, Switch was the best-selling console during the month of April. Although sales are actually down year-over-year, it’s still performing very well.
GamesIndustry’s Christopher Dring says that sales trends puts Switch “on par with Xbox 360, which over time went on to do 9 million units in the UK.” Only the DS and PS2 sold more.
Also worth mentioning is that New Pokemon Snap was the best-selling game in the UK in April. That feat was accomplished in just two days. On Sunday, we heard that physical launch sales were four times higher than the original.
