Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze footage continues to pour in from PAX East 2018. Our latest look at the game is below, from the Busted Bayou stage and showing Funky Kong’s silhouette.

Horizon Chase Turbo should be making its way to Switch at some point in the future. On Facebook, developer Aquiris told one fan: “We’ll work to make Horizon Chase Turbo possible for Nintendo Switch after PS4 and Steam release!”

After it was released on mobile where it was well-received, Aquiris decided to bring Horizon Chase to new platforms as Horizon Chase Turbo. The arcade racer takes inspiration from the likes of Outrun, Top Gear, and Lotus Turbo Challenge. There are 12 cups, 48 cities, 110 tracks, 26 unlockable cars, and 10 upgrades. That’s on top of an Online Competitive Ghost Mode and split-screen multiplayer.

We have some additional information for Horizon Chase Turbo plus a trailer below.

Dragon Quest XI might be one of the biggest Switch mysteries at the moment. Even though it was one of the first games we knew about the system, Square Enix has yet to show it any capacity – not even a single screenshot.

It was finally announced at the end of last month that Dragon Quest XI is coming west in September. Unfortunately though, the Switch version still isn’t ready. Square Enix has finally explained why.

Last month, Microids and Paul Cuisset properly announced Flashback 25th Anniversary for Switch. The classic action-adventure game is coming to Nintendo’s console in June.

Flashback 25th Anniversary won’t be a simple re-release. The new Switch version features post-FX graphic filters, completely remastered sound and music, a brand new “Rewind” function which is variable according to the level of difficulty, and tutorials.

We have several screenshots from Flashback 25th Anniversary below, including a few comparisons.
