At Jump Festa 2021 Online, Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel was announced for Switch. Concrete details – including a release window- have not yet been provided. However, we do at least know that the card game will let you take on characters from the Yu-Gi-Oh! Sevens anime.
This will mark the second major Yu-Gi Oh! title for Switch. Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution first launched for the system last April in Japan. Konami brought the game to the west in August 2019.
Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy has another month or so to go until its ready for primetime in the west, but the RPG came out in Japan this month. As is tradition, Famitsu published one of the first reviews of the game. Between four reviewers, it earned scores of “8”, “8”, “8”, and “9” for a total score of 33 / 40.
We’ve now prepared a full translation of the review. Continue on below to read it in full.

Just like in 2019, Nintendo decided to close out 2020 with an Indie World Showcase. Nearly twenty games were shown, and a few were announced and released on the same day.

Another update is live for the Switch version of Immortals Fenyx Rising. Ubisoft has prepared version 1.0.4, which includes performance improvements and more.

One Twitter user has come out with a bit of a wild Nintendo repair service story.
sam_nama lost a wedding ring after his daughter placed it inside a Wii U. He ended up sending it in to Nintendo, and thankfully, it was recovered. The Big N even went as far as to clean the ring. Of course, the Wii U was repaired as well.
sam_nama says he didn’t anticipate that his daughter would actually go ahead and shove the ring in there. She seemed to think of it like a piggy bank. Fortunately, it all turned out well in the end.

Although the team at Edelweiss typically doesn’t pursue sequels, we couldn’t help but ask if we could see a follow-up to the Switch game one day. It’s impossible to deny Sakuna’s strong reception and sales, and we already know that it’s doing pretty well having sold over 500,000 copies in less than a month.
When asked if we could see more from the Sakuna universe, Nal had this to say:

If you’ve ever longed to control a pair of sentient taiko drums and fight alongside Marie Antoinette to prevent the space-time continuum from collapsing on itself, then the Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythmic Adventure games were custom-made for you. Once exclusive to the 3DS in Japan, Bandai Namco has now brought its role playing taiko adventures to the west for the first time. Taiko rhythm gameplay and RPG mechanics might seem like an odd blend at first blush, so a major question naturally arises: are these roleplaying spinoffs an offbeat adventure, or do they stick to a solid rhythm? Let’s strike up a drum line and find out.
