Mass Creation has released a new gameplay video for Shing!, its side-scrolling arcade action game. Director Greg Kurek breaks down new enemies and a new boss fight, as well as the fast-paced combat and teamwork you can experience through online and local co-op for up to four players.
Here’s the video:
Shing! is due out on Switch this summer.
PiXEL is bringing a new game to Switch and PC (via Steam) called Wing of Asteria. This game is a side-scrolling shoot ’em up based on Greek mythology and it is planned for a 2021 release in Japan. It is unknown at this time if it will be localized for other languages.
Notable people involved in development include Shujirou Hamakawa as a character designer (Twin bee, High School DxD, etc.) and Yoshinori Kawamoto who is part of the Bandai Namco Studios Sound Team (Burning Force, Star Fox: Assault, etc.) as a composer. They, along with the rest of the development team, will be bringing a brand new story with unique characters, scenery, and creatures in Wing of Asteria.
All this comes from a press release from PiXEL that was translated courtesy of Gematsu and more of their translation, including character descriptions/portraits, are included below.
It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. This week, Bravely Default II moves up another spot while Paper Mario: The Origami King and Namcot Collection appear for the first time.

Update: We’ve updated this post with the Summer of Gaming Developer Showcases, Nacon Connect, and tentative month for Devolver Digital Direct.
If this was any normal year, we’d be feeling the pre-E3 hype right about now. It’s one of the most exciting time for gaming fans as tons of announcements, news, trailers, and more are shared over the course of a single week.
Now, despite E3 having been cancelled, this summer should still be a pretty good one. A number of events are planned in the weeks and months ahead. Nintendo itself doesn’t have anything concrete lined up currently, but there are still updates to come from other companies.
Here’s a roundup of events we’re highlighting that we feel are most relevant to Switch owners:
This week on Nintendo Everything Podcast, pigs are flying because New Pokemon Snap got announced. That’s not all the Pokemon Presents video graced us with—brushing our teeth is finally solved with Pokemon Smile. In other news, Kingdom Hearts continues to be an embarrassing nightmare with Memory of Melody. And finally, Oni Dino and Galen lay down some EA games predictions and ARMS character predictions for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s Fighter Pass volume 2. In our game analysis segment, we cover a great and overlooked indie game called Bloodroots, and some extra tidbits on Xenoblade, One Step From Eden, and even Fitness Boxing.
Check out links and timestamps below, and come hang out.
