The adventure game Ary and the Secret of Seasons was just announced for Switch last week. At the Indie Mega Booth at Gamescom, some extensive footage was shown during a Twitch live stream. Watch the recording below.
Koei Tecmo added a web page for its appearance at the 2018 Tokyo Games Show. Here is the lineup according to translations from Gematsu.
A web page on SNK’s Japan website has a countdown clock and below it the tagline “A new dawn rises.” Given the URL includes the text “snknewgame” it’s safe to expect a new title to be announced when all is said and done. There’s no guarantee it will hit a Nintendo console but, given the recent releases of their 40th Anniversary Collection and SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy, it’s not unlikely. The clock strikes zero next Monday at about 10pm EST.
It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Persona Q2 hold on to their positions while Yo-kai Watch 4 appears for the first time.
Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between August 9 and August 22.
During the week of August 20, My Hero: One’s Justice was the best-selling title of the week in Japan. According to Media Create data, between the Switch and PlayStation 4 versions, it sold roughly 40,000 copies.
Switch is actually where a majority of sales came from. Media Create has the Switch version at 24,626 copies sold while it moved 16,026 units on PlayStation 4.
Dengeki chimes in with some extra information as well. My Hero: One’s Justice managed to sell through 75% of its initial shipment. It also did better than the 3DS title My Hero Academia: Battle for All, which sold just over 5,000 copies in its first week and a bit of 30,000 copies in total.
A new character has been revealed for Brawlhalla, Ubisoft and Blue Mammoth Games’ free-to-play fighter. Rayman from the well-known platforming series will be added to the game.
Ubisoft announced Brawlhalla during Gamescom last month. It’ll launch on November 6 – the same day that Rayman will be available in the title.
Redout was one among the first games that we knew about for Switch. However, the racer still has yet to release on Nintendo’s platform. Could we finally be seeing it soon?
This week, Redout was finally rated by the ESRB. Usually when a title receives its ESRB rating, it’s one of the last steps prior to launch. 34BigThings did say in July that it would be announcing “something amazon” soon, though there hasn’t been any news just yet.
Thanks to GameSpot, we have another look at The World Ends With You: Final Remix. Get a look at touch screen, motion controls, and co-op footage below.
Earlier this year, GameMaker Studio 2 was announced for Switch. The news was significant as it paves the way for even more developers to bring their titles to the system.
Following the recent news about GameMaker Studio 2 entering open beta on Switch, we caught up with YoYo Games general manager James Cox to learn more about the origins of supporting Nintendo’s console, how easy it is to port games, what lies ahead for the future, and more.
