Following a successful Kickstarter campaign, the pixel-art arcade adventure Battle Axe has been secured for Switch.
Battle Axe is being created by Henk Nieborg. Nieborg has worked on games since 1990, including Lionheart, Flink, Adventures of Lomax (PS1), Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Contra 4, Shantae, Xeno Crisis, and more. This will be one of his first solo projects.

There have been mixed reports as to whether The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt would be updated on Switch. Saber Interactive, one of the studio’s involved with the port, had apparently said on a VK social media page that a patch was coming and it would be “worth the wait.” However, that comment was deleted, leading fans to wonder what was actually happening.
Making matters more confusing, we’re hearing that an update has in fact started to roll out. Players in Korea are allegedly able to download version 3.6, though we can’t confirm that it’s live in any other region currently.
