C2 Game Studio has announced Project Monolith, a new game in development for Switch. A release window has not yet been announced.
We have the first teaser trailer for Project Monolith below. Based on the footage shown, Project Monolith will feature exploration, real-time combat, and more.
A number of new deals are up and running on the North American Switch eShop. These include Okami HD, NBA 2K19, Aegis Defenders, Bomber Crew, and more.
Here’s the full roundup of sales:
It took a few months longer than originally expected, but Dark Souls: Remastered has finally arrived on Switch. Digital Foundry has taken a closer look at the game from a technical perspective in a new video published today.
One thing to keep in mind is that Dark Souls for Switch is based on the last-gen version. That means it doesn’t feature the higher frame rate as the newer PlayStation 4 / Xbox One editions or their visual improvements. As Digital Foundry describes it, Dark Souls on Switch is the “authentic” version presented as it was many years ago.
Thanks to Amazon Japan, we now have a look at the boxart for Touhou Genso Wanderer: Lotus Labyrinth. Check it out above.
Touhou Genso Wanderer: Lotus Labyrinth arrives in Japan on April 25.
Another round of Nintendo maintenance is planned for the coming week. Switch, the eShops, and more will be impacted during certain periods.
The current schedule is as follows:
Nintendo updated a handful of child’s safety certificates for various Smash Bros. amiibo this month. These include Sheik, Captain Falcon, Wii Fit Trainer, Marth, Jigglypuff, Charizard, Lucario, Zelda, and Peach. Aside from Peach, each figure has an additional September 2018 manufacturing run listed.
Often with these certificate updates, it’s a sign that restocks are on the horizon. Keep an eye out for the aforementioned figures making a return to retailers in the near future.
When SNK 40th Anniversary Collection makes it to Switch next month, it’ll be accompanied by a limited edition. NIS America shared an image this week that showcases the package’s full contents. Buyers will receive SNK 40th Anniversary Collection, a “Nostalgic Music Collection” soundtrack, art book, and collector’s box.
NIS America is still taking pre-orders for the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection Limited Edition on its website here. It’s due out on November 13.
CyberConnect2 first started the Little Tail Bronx series with Tail Concerto on the PlayStation back in 1998. Then in 2010, Solatorobo: Red the Hunter came to DS. Fuga on the Battlefield will see the franchise return once again next summer.
Notice a pattern here? There’s about a decade long wait in between titles. In an interview with Anime News Network, CyberConnect2 CEO Hiroshi Matsuyama explained why it takes so long for new games to be released, stating:
Usually when you think of Minecraft, you think of a game that can be played by anyone regardless of their age. Generally speaking, it’s a family-friendly experience. Yet for Minecraft: Story Mode, the original plan was something a bit different.
According to former Telltale narrative designer Emily Grace Buck, what was originally created “was not appropriate for young kids.” In fact, had the company moved forward with what it had, the ESRB would have given the project a T-rating. Buck didn’t elaborate beyond this as to what Telltale had originally created.
