We have a quick update on Hungry Shark World, which was released by Ubisoft on the Japanese eShop a short while ago. In both North America and Europe, the game will be releasing tomorrow – July 17.
Here’s a trailer:
Octopath Traveler came out at the tail end of last week, where it did pretty well in the UK.
GamesIndustry reports that launch sales for the Switch RPG are nearly double that of Bravely Default. Sales more than doubled the sequel, Bravely Second.
Hungry Shark World was rated for Switch in South Korea a couple of months ago. Now without any prior notice, the game has launched on the Japanese eShop.
Here’s an overview from the original release along with Switch screenshots:
Circle Entertainment has announced a partnership with 4D Door Games to bring WILL: A Wonderful World to Switch. We’ll be seeing it on the eShop later this year.
WILL: A Wonderful World is a story-driven puzzle game. By viewing and altering letters, you can impact the tale and influence characters as a “god”.
SEGA published an off-beat infomercial for Sonic Mania Plus in celebration of the game’s launch tomorrow. Have a look at the video below.
