Kotaku has obtained some additional information about The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on Switch. CD Projekt Red told the site that most of that game’s graphical user interface (GUI) has been redone. Dynamic fonts and HUD size are available depending on which resolution the game is running at.
CD Projekt Red also said that touch controls could be implemented after launch. If that happens, players will be able to use them for the map and inventory.
The action-RPG Lucah: Born of a Dream launches for Switch as a digital download next Wednesday. Check out some footage in the video below.
For the launch of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Nintendo ran a special promotion. Those who purchased the game early were provided with a download code for Piranha Plant.
We assume that most of you have redeemed your codes at this point. However, if you haven’t by any chance, keep in mind that time is just about to run out on the promotion. Players only have until June 30 to redeem their codes, so they’ll become non-functional once the weekend ends.
The official Japanese website for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 has updated with a ton of videos, most of which show off the game’s huge roster. We’ve compiled the more than 40 clips into a single video below.
After previously sharing art of Callie, Nintendo has posted another piece of art for Splatoon 2’s last Splatfest featuring Marie. We have it above.
“Even though Callie’s free spirit has been a good influence on her, Marie still like things to be nice & neat,” Nintendo says. “Even a bit of idle chit-chat needs a solid one-liner to stitch things up, which is why she’s Team Order.”

As far as remakes go, Crash Team Racing is top notch. The trick with this particular remake is that the team didn’t have to significantly change anything aside from the visuals. Originally pegged as the PlayStation’s response to Mario Kart 64, Crash Team Racing has always been the more evolved kart racer. The tracks remade from the original PlayStation 1 Crash Team Racing are faithfully laid out, and its original mechanics preserved. Even with the most recent game in its rival franchise, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe might be the more refined game – some might call it stagnant – but Crash Team Racing, faithfully remade, still feels fresh and ultimately more interesting.
Two Switch eShop titles could be getting the physical treatment. Over on Amazon Spain, A Hat in Time (which hasn’t been released yet) and Slay the Spire have been given new listings. U&I Entertainment is said to be the publisher / distributor.
It’s unclear if Amazon Spain’s listings are accurate. The site does have odd pages up such as Steep and a physical version of BoxBoy! + BoxGirl!, which we’re pretty sure aren’t happening. Having said that, there’s a good chance that the pages for A Hat in Time and Slay the Spire are legitimate. We’ll let you know if we receive any official updates.
The board game Catan was recently brought to the Switch eShop. For a look at some footage, check out the video below.
If there’s one area where Zelda: Breath of the Wild is lacking, you could point to underwater exploration. Simply put, this is essentially impossible in the game. Although Link can swim, he can’t dive or do much else in water.
Despite the fact that players don’t even see much of the world below the surface, it seems that the developers paid extra attention to an area that isn’t normally visible. A glitch, which starts when the scope is activated and then cancelled, allows for a view of what lies underwater.
Amazon Germany has started taking pre-orders for a bunch of amiibo – some of which are not up at other retailers. Dark Samus, Incineroar, Chrom, Simon Belmont, Richter, Snake, Squirtle, and Ivysaur are all now live. The full set can be found here.
In case you’re wondering, these amiibo should ship to other countries. We were able to place an order from the U.S. for example.
