Bandai Namco has rolled out the latest Japanese commercial for One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 focusing on the Yonko Saga. Check it out below.
Niantic has shared a bunch of news about Pokemon Go today. The developer has detailed a new Today View feature, confirmed that Lugia Week has been cancelled, and outlined more changes that have been made in light of the coronavirus.
Here’s the full rundown:
Last April, a revamp of the classic adventure game Shadowgate landed on the Switch eShop. Limited Run Games has now announced that it will publish the title physically.
Like many Limited Run Games offerings, a standard version and special edition are planned. The latter release, known as the “Shadowgate Classic Edition”, includes a physical copy of the game, a retro cartridge sleeve, art print, and the original game soundtrack.
Pre-orders for the physical versions of Shadowgate open on March 27. Reservations will be live for four weeks.
Deep Sky Derelicts: Definitive Edition, “a combination of turn-based strategy and RPG, enriched with tactical card combat and popular roguelike elements,” is heading to the Switch eShop tomorrow. View some footage below.
Animal Crossing fans have waited years for a new entry in the franchise. What might surprise you is just how long New Horizons was in development for.
According to The Washington Post, early development kicked off shortly after Animal Crossing: New Leaf launched. We’re talking about the Japanese release here, so that goes all the way back to 2012. That means it took about eight years for Animal Crossing: New Horizons to ultimately wrap up.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons has launched, but the game will be receiving more content in the future in the form of seasonal updates. Unfortunately, the coronavirus has made work more difficult, and many people from around the world have been affected. Animal Crossing: New Horizons could be impacted due to the current times.
Speaking with The Washington Post, director Aya Kyogoku said that development for the updates “is still going”. However, if the situation with the coronavirus worsens, there could be adjustments. “We’re not sure if we have to shift anything, but I think we have to be flexible,” Kyogoku said.
The adventure game Vampire: The Masquerade – Coteries of New York lands on the Switch eShop tomorrow. For a look at some footage, check out the video below.
Early reports regarding Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ sales in the UK are definitely impressive. Not only was the launch 3.5 times bigger than New Leaf – the series’ previous mainline entry – but its launch week was bigger than the release of all other Animal Crossing games combined, including spin-offs.
We have a couple of other interesting tidbits now as well. First, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is already a third of the way to matching the entire lifetime sales of New Leaf (boxed). Also, if you count every single #1 boxed game in the UK this year before Animal Crossing (eleven of these titles in total) and combine them, they still don’t get close to the launch week of Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
So yes, Animal Crossing: New Horizons couldn’t be doing much better in the UK. It’s likely experiencing similar success in other territories, though we don’t have concrete sales data at this time.
Saints Row IV: Re-Elected is finally here on Switch, and we have a first look at the game running on Nintendo’s console. Check out a bunch of footage below.
Note: a few portions are briefly muted due to copyrights with music. Also, keep in mind the video was recorded with drifting Joy-Con, which certainly makes things more difficult.
