Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is making a comeback on Switch in a couple of months from now. We can’t forget that Nintendo will release a 3DS version on the same day, complete with stereoscopic 3D support.

After a surprising reveal just a few days ago, Resident Evil 7 Cloud Version launched on the Japanese eShop this week. It comes with a significant caveat about save data, however.
