SNK held a panel titled “Samurai Shodown – Resurrecting a Legend” at PAX East 2019 today. During the event, a brand new collection was announced for Switch and other platforms.
Samurai Shodown NeoGeo Collection will release on Switch this fall. It will contain all Samurai Shodown games released between the original game and Samurai Shodown V Special – so six in total. Digital Eclipse, who handled SNK 40th Anniversary Collection, is in charge of the project.
Arte and La Belle Games have announced The Wanderer: Frankenstein’s Creature, which is currently planned for Switch. The game is launching later this year on the eShop.
The Wanderer: Frankenstein’s Creature is an exploration-adventure game in which players take on the role of a being who has no memory and past. Find more details and an overview below.
Nintendo has made a series of announcements pertaining to Splatoon 2.
First, a Spring Fest will be coming to the game in April. A Splatfest will be held in which players are asked whether they believe a hare or tortoise would win a race. The next Splatfest will be held during the weekend of April 19.
Yesterday, a listing was spotted on Amazon that showed a physical version of Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled – Nitros Oxide Edition for Europe. Activision had previously said that this version would be digital-only.
As it turns out, there are also plans to sell the Nitros Oxide Edition physically in North America. The only downside? It’ll apparently be GameStop exclusive – at least according to the official listing here. Alongside the game itself and extra content, you’ll also receive a set of pins.
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is due out on June 21.
Just a few days before E3 2019 begins, Nintendo will be hosting two new tournaments. The company announced today that the Super Smash Bros Ultimate and Splatoon 2 World Championships 2019 are set for June 8 in Los Angeles, California. Teams from North America, Europe, Japan, and Australia/New Zealand will be represented.
Here’s a video promoting the upcoming event:

Like Nintendo’s other big tournaments, the Smash Bros Ultimate and Splatoon 2 World Championships 2019 should be live streamed in June.
A pair of big Nintendo tournaments are wrapping up today. The North American Splatoon 2 Inkling Open 2019 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Open 2019 will both wrap up at PAX East 2019.
Here’s a live stream that will showcase all of the action:
The action-platformer Shadow Blade: Reload is due out on the Switch eShop next Wednesday. View some gameplay footage in the video below.
New off-screen footage has emerged for Final Fantasy X-2 HD Remaster on Switch from PAX East 2019. Get a look at the gameplay below.
Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes director Suda51 has revealed another upcoming t-shirt for the game. A design based on Siren is planned, though it’s unclear when exactly it’ll be added. We could be seeing the shirt in time for the next DLC release.
Siren is a series of games that started out on the PlayStation 2. What makes this situation particularly interesting is that Sony is the publisher of the horror franchise. Suda51 didn’t say how the collaboration with Travis Strikes Again was made possible, but it’s happening nonetheless.
