M2H has released the party game Marooners and stunt racing title Crash Drive 2 on the Switch eShop. Trailers for both can be found below, along with footage.
Nintendo confirmed yesterday that the coronavirus is impacting its business in Japan. Because of the outbreak, production and shipment delays are expected.
What about the west? Kotaku reached out to Nintendo about the situation, and the company confirmed that North America and Europe will be unaffected. Product sales, including pre-orders, will take place as planned.
The full statement reads:
Nintendo published The Wonderful 101 during the Wii U era, but developer PlatinumGames now has full control of the IP’s rights. The company will soon be publishing The Wonderful 101: Remastered and even went with Kickstarter to help bring the franchise back.
Bayonetta is another IP that PlatinumGames has interest in self-publishing. Studio head Atsushi Inaba shared that information in an interview with IGN Japan, though cautioned that this is currently just a desire. It’s not a definitive statement as to whether PlatinumGames could actually move forward with that idea.
Inaba also noted that Nintendo and SEGA co-own the rights to Bayonetta. If PlatinumGames were to self-publish that series through crowdfunding, the company would expect it to require significantly more funds compared to the Kickstarter campaign for The Wonderful 101: Remastered.
The Town of Light: Deluxe Edition is finally out now on Switch. Wired Productions has shared a new launch trailer, which we have below.
