We’ve known for a while now that Daedalic Entertainment’s futuristic adventure game State of Mind would be coming to the Nintendo Switch. Today, the developer announced that the game will finally be released in August 2018. They also confirmed that the game is getting a physical release, as you can see by the game’s boxart above. Finally, take a look at this new teaser trailer:
Arc System Works announced today that they will be conducting an open beta test for BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle in Japan next month. The test will take place from May 11th to May 13th. To take part, you will need to download a special demo version of the game that’ll be available on the Japanese eShop starting on May 11th. During the open beta, you will be able to use all of the game’s non-DLC characters. The following modes will be playable: Casual Lobby, Tactics Mode and Versus Mode (against CPU).
Even after the open beta period is over, you will still be able to play the demo version – with some restrictions: you won’t be able to use all of the characters and you will only be able to play offline.
It’s the end of week, which means another new weapon is coming to Splatoon 2.

It’ll be available tomorrow around noon in Japan and Australia, early in the morning in Europe and later tonight in North America.
