Nintendo has outlined its maintenance schedule for the next month or so. There’s actually nothing coming up this week, but a number of sessions are planned leading into September.
Here’s the current schedule:
A listing on Amazon has revealed that THQ Nordic will be releasing a collector’s edition for Monster Jam Steel Titans. Copies include the game, premium box, postcard book, and die-cast truck grave digger. The full contents are shown above.
You can pre-order the collector’s edition for Monster Jam Steel Titans here. It’s set for release on August 11.
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled are both out on Switch, and by all accounts, they did pretty well. It was therefore a bit of a disappointment to see that Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time – the latest entry in the series – was not announced for the console as part of the initial reveal. There hasn’t been anything confirming a Switch release, but eagle-eyed fans have spotted something that gives a little bit of hope to cling on to.
Over on the official website for Crash Bandicoot 4, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are the only listed systems. However, in the site’s source code, the platforms category also includes Switch. It’s unclear if this was merely a mistake or is a sign of future plans.
One possibility is that we could see Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time on Switch down the road. Activision has brought releases to Switch well after their initial launches as we saw with Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and Spyro Reignited Trilogy. The company has also said it is “still evaluating additional platforms for a future date”.
The Ambassador: Fractured Timelines, a twin-stick fantasy shooter centered around the ability to stop time, lands on Switch in just a few days. View some footage below.
The Ambassador: Fractured Timelines launches for Switch via the eShop on August 13.
This week on Nintendo Everything Podcast, special guest Barry (Goodman?) is back to chat with Oni Dino and Galen in this extra-long, bonus episode! Nintendo Switch is at 62 million units sold, but will they keep the momentum with the PS5 and Xbox Series X coming soon? What will happen to third-party support moving forward and how should Nintendo prepare for it? In the Adventure Log, Barry elaborates on the appeal of the Legend of Heroes series and the Trails of Cold Steel sub-series and why the third entry is a good jumping-in point, and Galen tries out shell-swapping his Switch Pro Controller. In the news, Pikmin 3 Deluxe was announced, bringing up the topic of full-priced Wii U ports; Blizzard employees rally for fair pay and better working conditions; and Aeon Must Die has serious allegations against it from the original devs.
It’s a big episode—check out links and timestamps below and come hang out.
