With all of the news coming out of E3 2019, it’d be easy to forget about a title that was announced for Switch only a month ago. Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered is on the way and will launch in 2019.
Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered will have a physical edition. However, it’s looking like it will be retailer-exclusive. According to an entry in GameStop’s internal database, this will be the only store selling Ghostbusters for Switch at retail.
Earlier this month, it was revealed that Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield will have a limit on the Pokemon that can be brought into the games from past titles. If a creature isn’t included in the Galar Pokedex, it can’t be transferred.

Yesterday, Rare published a blog post covering all of the news related to the game developer at E3 2019. For Nintendo fans, one of the biggest announcements made was the reveal of Banjo-Kazooie for Smash Bros. Ultimate as a DLC character.
Rare says it was working with Nintendo “since last year, on everything from movesets to musical choices”. Paul Cunningham was also specifically mentioned as “our point man on getting everything about Banjo and Kazooie’s appearance just right.” Cunningham is Rare’s lead marketing artist and has been with the company since 1995.

Aside from doing well on Switch, Enter the Gungeon has been an important IP for Devolver Digital overall. Wilson said that it’s the company’s second best-selling franchise, which was only topped by Scum.
Digital Foundry has taken a closer look at the Switch version of Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. Specifically, the game’s technical performance has been examined in greater detail.
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is 16GB on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Meanwhile, the Switch version is about 6GB. How’d the team managed to shrink the game’s file size? Part of this can be attributed to slightly lower-quality pre-encoded videos. If you’re playing in handheld mode in particular, this is something you probably won’t notice easily.
