PAX Australia has been and gone for another year and us gamers will now go back to playing the game we know best, the waiting game. Luckily for me, I had the opportunity to chat with some folk who made it down to Australia’s largest gaming convention. This interview is with Dave Crooks (or a Mimic) from Dodge Roll; the developers behind the hugely successful game Enter the Gungeon in which we discussed unused guns, content for the future, and the team’s next project. Please enjoy the interview!

Nintendo’s maintenance schedule has been updated once again. Quite a few sessions are planned for the coming days, including several for Switch.
The current maintenance schedule is as follows:
A couple of days ago, Timber Tennis: Versus was added to the Switch eShop. Take a look at the game’s official launch trailer below.
This weekend, Nintendo held the latest Japanese Splatfest in Splatoon 2. It was entirely Pocky themed, and once again, players were given two options. They could either go with standard Pocky or Pocky Gokuboso (ultra thin).
After a day full of battles, the event has concluded. Nintendo has now posted the results for players.
Nintendo has been on a hot streak as of late when it comes to preparing for amiibo restocks. We’ve seen a bunch of different child’s safety certificates that have been updated, pointing to re-releases.
Next up on the list are Lucina, Robin, Ike, Mewtwo, and Greninja. All of these figures had a new run of manufacturing in October.
As usual, there is no specific date for amiibo restocks. Just keep an eye out on your local retailer or online shop to see if they resurface soon.
Nippon Ichi has made it known a few times in the past just how well Disgaea 5 Complete did on Switch. Earlier this year, it was revealed that the game was sitting at 200,000 copies sold in the west alone.
In last month’s issue of EDGE, Nippon Ichi president Sohei Niikawa reiterated Disgaea 5 Complete’s success on Switch, stating that “it sold incredibly well both in Japan and abroad.” Niikawa also spoke about Nintendo’s strong support of the company having visited their offices to teach the developers about Switch. Right now he believes it’s an “ideal piece of hardware” since the dual console and portable nature makes it appealing to both the west and Japan.
Shinya Kumazaki, director of Kirby Star Allies, has provided more insight into the game’s creation. In a post sent out to Switch owners, Kumazaki details the process of creating the design for Hyness – one of the major bosses players encounter.
Here’s the full post:
Last week, a new month rolled right on in. Now that we’re in November, we want to know what you’ve been playing.
Have you started up something entirely new for the month? Trying out some of the recent third-party Switch games like Diablo III? No matter the case, let us know in the comments below.
Microids is currently prepping the remake of Toki for Switch. It was originally slated for the end of this month, but will now be seeing a slight delay to December 4.
Microids previously announced the Toki Retrollector Edition, though as it turns out, it’ll be retailer-exclusive in the states. A listing shows that only GameStop will be selling the limited edition in North America.
In case you’re curious, the Toki Retrollector Edition includes the game, wooden arcade machine, exclusive prints by Philippe Dessoly, comic with an original storyline also illustrated by Philippe Dessoly, and a sticker sheet. Pre-orders are open here.
