Bluffman and Playism released the JRPG-inspired Artifact Adventure Gaiden on Steam earlier in the year. That game is now confirmed for Switch as well. Bluffman confirmed the news during an official interview segment on BitSummit’s live stream today.
Artifact Adventure Gaiden features a “Game Boy-like design and 2D open world while making choices that freely shape the scenario itself as you progress through this JRPG.” We have further details and a trailer below.
Earlier in the week, news leaked out of a Japanese magazine that big Splatoon news is planned for June 9. Not much was known at the time aside from the fact that the reveal will supposedly “shock the world”.
The situation took a strange turn yesterday. We won’t really get into it here, but a Spanish site obtained a comment from Nintendo in which the company called the original speculation “a baseless rumor.”
Nintendo has updated its maintenance schedule once again, so we’re rounding up all of the different sessions in place as of today. There will be different periods for Switch, Wii U, and 3DS over the next few days as well as some downtime for using credit cards on the Switch eShop and the web Nintendo store.
Here’s the full rundown of upcoming maintenance:
Fire Emblem Heroes has updated with the latest Illusory Dungeon, Sanctuary of the Mages. You have until June 11 to participate.
Up until the end date, there will also be daily quests where players can obtain different rewards each day. Beginning May 15, there will be two types of Tap Battle quests.
Moreover, starting with this event, some new updates are in place. Extra stages are available, deployed Heroes earn Hero Merit, and more.
Nintendo is back to its teasing ways once again with Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. Very soon, a new wave of villagers will be added to the game.
We have silhouettes for the new characters above. Can you guess who they are?
After Nintendo Labo came out, The UPS Store got involved with the new Switch add-on with a special DIY project. A video tweet attracted a lot of attention which showed a special carrying case capable of holding the various Toy-Con creations.
Tracy Spahr from The UPS Store told GamesRadar that the prototype took a team of six people over 12 hours to design and assemble. The case is entirely comprised of seven UPS boxes.
Nintendo has shared the latest gameplay clip for Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion. This time around, we have a look at the Baller special weapon that’s used to traverse through a stage and take down enemies. View the footage below.
