Zen Studios announced today that it is bringing tables from the Williams and Bally pinball collection to Pinball FX3. Zen now has the digital rights to the full pinball library, including Fish Tales, Junk Yard, Medieval Madness, and The Getaway High Speed II.
These tables will be available on Switch in the future. However, release dates have not yet been confirmed.

Forgotton Anne was announced for Switch earlier today, though only for Japan. Thankfully, Square Enix Collective has followed up with a quick announcement for the west as well.
Forgotton Anne is launching worldwide in 2019. When it does, the story-driven adventure will cost $19.99 / £15.99 / €19.99. However, there will be a 10% discount for two weeks.
Here’s some information about Forgotten Anne:
The story-driven adventure, set in the beautifully hand-crafted 2D cinematic Forgotten Lands, launched on console and PC back in May. Its forthcoming release on Nintendo Switch means it’ll soon be available on all three major consoles, alongside the PlayStation®4 entertainment system and Xbox One family of devices, including the Xbox One X.
Forgotton Anne reveals the hidden dimension where all mislaid items from the human world – the odd socks, the lost letters, the missing toys – are sent to linger. It’s the job of the Forgotlings – creatures formed out of all of these missing items – to help the trapped Anne and Master Bonku find their way home.

The Xenoblade Chronicles Twitter account has introduced the latest new character appearing in Torna – The Golden Country. Zetta is the brother of Torna’s king and as such, he is the second most powerful person in Torna. He’s also Addam’s uncle, but he doesn’t seem to like his nephew all that much. Supposedly, he once tried to resonate with Mythra’s Core Crystal, but failed.
The latest issue of Famitsu has revealed that 2D adventure game Forgotton Anne will launch on Nintendo Switch in Japan in Spring of 2019. Chorus Worldwide will be handling publishing duties.
