Star Wars Pinball was announced for Switch back in April. We now have confirmation that the game will be sold physically.
Amazon has added in a listing for Star Wars Pinball on Switch, complete with official boxart – see it above. There’s also a page up on GameStop now as well.
Star Wars Pinball launches for Switch on September 13.
We just went through a busy week of maintenance, but at least so far, things are looking significantly quieter this week. Thus far, only one session is planned for Nintendo Network IDs.
The full schedule is as follows:
Bullet Battle: Evolution made its initial debut on the Japanese Switch eShop a few days ago. Thanks to a listing on the North American store, we now have confirmation that it’s coming west next week.
Here’s an overview of Bullet Battle: Evolution, along with a trailer:
TT Isle of Man recently launched on Switch. For a look at how it stacks up to the PlayStation 4 version, view the comparison video below.
In the latest episode of the Game Informer show, Marvel Games VP and creative director Bill Rosemann explained the approach to deciding the roster in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order. Rosemann mentioned a few factors, but emphasized the importance of having characters that fit the gameplay and story.
He explained:
Fans have many dream characters they’d like to see in Super Smash Bros. across all sorts of franchises and mediums. Now that Marvel is getting heavily involved with gaming and even has an exclusive Switch title coming out in the very near future, could we see one of their characters in Nintendo’s fighter?
Game Informer posed that question to Marvel Games’ VP and creative director Bill Rosemann in its podcast last week. Rosemann seemed somewhat interested in idea, but was quick to note that such a decision would not fall in his hands.
Inti Creates has announced that Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX will be sold physically in Japan. Copies will be sold for 3,818 yen, and will include a music CD with tracks from Lola, Copen’s partner in the game.
What about the west? Inti Creates has indicated that is is “trying” to make a physical version happen outside of Japan, but nothing is confirmed at this time.
With E3 just over a week away, retailers are almost certainly getting their systems prepped for upcoming announcements. Usually once a conference ends and official reveals are made, stores take pre-orders not too long after.
With that in mind, GameStop seems to have given us a (very) rough idea regarding the number of announcements Switch will be seeing within the next few days – from Nintendo and third-parties. 21 SKUs have been added to the retailer’s internal system without names, meaning they will likely be filled in properly around E3. Most are $60, but there are a few oddities like a mystery $200 listing.
