A new month rolled right on in earlier this week. Now that we’re in July, we want to know what you’ve been playing.

The Nintendo Direct Mini back in March treated fans to a surprise announcement and release. The office-themed puzzler Good Job! was revealed for Switch during the presentation, and then launched on the eShop immediately after.

Windbound has received a new 21-minute video showing off its survival adventure gameplay. Have a look at the footage below.
Deep Silver and 5 Lives Studios are bringing Windbound to Switch on August 28.
System: Switch
Release date: July 7, 2020
Developer: Atlus
Publisher: Atlus

Fortunately, Catherine looks and feels better than ever before on Nintendo’s console in a way that feels like a perfect fit.

If you missed it previously, you can also listen to the Red Streamer Battle theme here.
