HomeBearStudio provided an update on the Switch version of NAIRI: Tower of Shirin in a Kickstarter post published yesterday.
NAIRI’s Switch port is “nearing completion,” according to the developer. You’ll be able to play with standard Joy-Con, gyro motion controls, or with the touchscreen in portable or tabletop modes. Other improvements are being implemented including support for more languages, “tweaks and changes to the game’s puzzles, dialogue and even some of the art assets”.
Here’s the full update from HomeBearStudio:
Ikaruga is coming to Switch, Treasure and Nicalis have announced. It will cost $14.99.
Treasure, who is also responsible for Nintendo’s Sin and Punishment series, originally made Ikaruga for the arcades in 2001. The vertical shooter would end up on GameCube a couple of years later.
A listing on the North American Switch eShop reveals that Natsume will be offering a bundle for Harvest Moon: Light of Hope Special Edition. Along with the game, some DLC will be included. The bundle allows customers to save a decent amount of money compared to buying everything separately.
The full list of items in the bundle are as follows:
In April, the Federal Trade Commission warned six companies about warranty violations. Motherboard reports that Nintendo was one of those companies. Sony, Microsoft, Hyundai, HTC, and ASUS were the others.
In letters sent out to each company, the FTC states that customers have been illegally told about having their warranty voided by getting third-party repairs. Such information is relayed through stickers and messages in end user license agreements. It’s a violation of the 1975 Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act in that manufacturers charging over $5 for a product can’t put repair restrictions on a device its offering a warranty on.
The eShop listing for Sushi Striker has updated with the game’s file size. If you plan on downloading the game on Switch, you’ll need 2.7GB of free space.
Sushi Striker is also releasing for 3DS simultaneously. However, that version’s size is not yet known.
Sushi Striker is due out on June 8.

Last year, Gamevice filed a lawsuit against Nintendo. The company wasn’t happy with Switch as its detachable controllers bear a resemblance to the Wikipad, which had been patented previously and had been implemented in past products. Gamevice was seeking compensation and a ban on Switch sales.
The U.S. International Trade Commission today voted to begin an investigation following a complaint from Gamevice. The complaint was filed on March 30, which requests “a limited exclusion order and cease and desist orders.”
SNK and NIS America are introducing two new characters for SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy. Sylvie and Zarina will both be playable, the two sides have announced.

Today, OneShark and Akupara Games announced that Chicken Assassin: Reloaded is in development for Switch. Expect to see it on July 17.
Chicken Assassin: Reloaded has players taking on Mean Mcallister, “the baddest chicken in town, the living embodiment of what would happen if you combined Rambo, Foghorn Leghorn, and a bottle of hot sauce together.” It’ll be your job to save Candy, who has been kidnapped, from Spritzel and his henchmen. You’ll be doing so by punching, shooting, and slicing down enemies in eleven different missions.
Nintendo has new trailers up for Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze that introduces a couple of the game’s playable characters. View videos for Dixie Kong and Diddy Kong below.
