Over the past couple of days, several user reports surfaced that Nintendo customer support was signing off on an exchange of Switch systems. At least in North America, if you bought the console after July 17, the company was letting it be sent in and would provide the updated version with improved battery life.
The Verge has now received an official comment from Nintendo, and the company is denying any sort of official exchange system. In full, the statement reads:
Play-Asia has opened pre-orders for the physical version of Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX. This is the release from Asia, which includes full English support. Reserve the game here.
At least for now, Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX will be digital-only in the west. We’ll be sure to let you know if anything changes on that front.
Superhot appears to be making its way to Switch. Update data has been found on Nintendo’s servers, despite the fact that it’s not actually out yet – specifically version 1.0.1.
As shared by Twitter user itssimontime:
Victory Road will be publishing the puzzle-platformer IN-VERT on the Switch eShop in just a few days. According to a store listing, we’ll be seeing it on August 20.
Here’s an overview of IN-VERT, along with a trailer and some footage:
