The free-to-play FPS Paladins was first hinted at for Switch last November. Following an update for the game, new engine config files pointed to a possible release on the platform.
More concrete evidence has now emerged regarding a potential Switch version. After the latest test server was datamined, an “Oasis” codename was discovered, which other languages actually refer to as a Nintendo account.
A trio of Mario Tennis characters have accidentally leaked. Japanese retailer Geo Online is taking pre-orders for the game, and is offering fans a special bonus. Buyers will be receiving a special handbag, and it’s that bag which outs the new characters.
Every now and then, the odd Switch game pops up. Hunting Simulator is the latest example of that, with Amazon listing it for a tentative June 26 release.
Hunting Simulator lets you track 37 species with their own realistic animal behavior. You’ll find big and small game, predators, waterfowl, and more. The game has a total of 12 regions based on real hunting areas in Europe and North America, 17 firearms, and roughly 50 accessories. Other features include dynamic weather and time of day cycles, a shooting range, a free hunt mode, and the ability to play with up to three friends.
We have a few screenshots from Hunting Simulator below. The official boxart is attached above.

SimTower, Seaman, and Odama creator Yoot Saito delivered a talk at Reboot Develop 2018 yesterday. During the session, he revealed something entirely new that we hadn’t heard about previously.
Many years ago, Saito was involved with a Nintendo DS game codenamed Mario Motors. He was actually quite close with late Nintendo president Satoru Iwata as well as Shigeru Miyamoto, and during the early 2000s, the three would “chat over tea casually” and game ideas.

Last year, TT Games unveiled free Survivor DLC for LEGO Worlds. It was intended to have players going up against the elements and hunt for resources as they build a boat to escape from an island.
Nearly a year later, that DLC has been put on hold. TT Games says the team is instead “focused on enhanced the LEGO Worlds experience in other areas.” Speaking of which, players can expect “enhancements to the tutorials and controls as well as “loads of other enhancements and features”.
