Bakugan: Champions of Vestroia is coming to Switch, Warner Bros. Interactive and WayForward announced during today’s Nintendo Treehouse: Live broadcast. It will launch on November 3.
Here’s what we know thus far:
It’s been a confusing week or so for Crysis Remastered. The game’s first trailer and release date leaked, but before Crytek would acknowledge anything, it decided to push the launch back for extra polish. While Switch was supposed to be included in that delay, it seems the platform won’t be impacted after all.
In a short announcement on social media, Crytek said that Crysis Remastered will still launch on July 23 – the original leaked date. The developer didn’t clarify if the game will be touched up at all from the initial trailer that was shown.
XSEED Games announced today that it will release a special retail edition for the action-simulation game Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin.
Fans will be able to purchase a “Divine Edition” for $59.99, which is wrapped in a custom outer box with exclusive artwork. It’ll also include a large 8.2” x 5.8” art book with over 130 pages of illustrations and concept art from the title, a full OST of 42 songs on 3 CDs, and a special 2” x 3” Japanese omamori charm to bring owners good luck in combat and farming.
Those looking for something a bit simpler can also buy a standard retail copy. That one costs just $39.99.
Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin launches later in 2020.

Five years ago, late Nintendo president Satoru Iwata passed away. Iwata died on July 11, 2015. We’re bringing this up now as it’s July 11 in Japan.
Iwata had many accomplishments as both a game developer and businessman. He started out at Kirby developer HAL Laboratory and spent two decades with the studio. In 2000, Iwata joined Nintendo and became the company’s new president just a couple of years later. He would end up working in this hospital up until his passing.
Iwata is still missed to this day, but his legacy won’t be forgotten.
Ahead of its release on Switch later this month, the story-driven action/stealth side-scrolling RPG Dex has received a new batch of footage. Watch the gameplay below.
Dex will be available for Switch via the eShop on July 24.

Players can create a party of 12 from over 50 playable characters in Touhou Labyrinth: Gensokyo to Tenkan no Taiju. There are character-specific skills, equipment creation, stat increase items, level up bonuses, and more. By using an awakening item or increasing your stats by spending money, a sub-class can be obtained. Over 100 bosses are included in the game.
