Believe it or not, Switch is now two years old. The system debuted around the world on March 3, 2017. As it’s now March 3 in Japan, Switch is celebrating its birthday today.
Right out of the gate, Switch was a hot commodity for Nintendo. The handheld/home console hybrid got off to a stellar start, and each month, saw the release of huge games including Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Total system sales have already surpassed the Wii U and GameCube, and are extremely close to eclipsing the N64.
Despite being just two years old, Switch has provided a ton of fantastic games and memorable experiences. It’s exciting to think about what lies ahead, and we have no doubt that the platform will have a long life ahead of it.
Lyrica is making its way to Switch on March 28, publisher Cosen announced today. It will support English, Japanese, and Traditional and Simplified Chinese languages.

PQube ended the week by announcing Kill la Kill the Game: IF for Europe. The game is even confirmed to be receiving a physical release in PAL regions. On Twitter, PQube shared some additional information by answering fan questions.
First, Kill la Kill the Game: IF will have an English dub. But if that isn’t your sort of thing, you’ll be happy to hear that dual audio is confirmed. Japanese audio will be included, so you won’t be forced to English voices if you’d prefer not to.
PQube also says that Kill la Kill the Game: IF will be the same across regions and platforms in terms of content. The company later clarified that it won’t be censored in any way overseas.
