The official Splatoon Twitter account posted another preview of the Octo Expansion soundtrack today. This track is titled “Catalog Mix” by Dedf1sh. Supposedly, Dedf1sh was a DJ who, on the pursuit of the ideal sound, went underground, but stumbled into the underground facility where the Octo Expansion is taking place. There, she got infected by something..but that didn’t stop her from making music:
Splatoon 2’s second soundtrack album, Octotune, is being released in July in Japan. Today, the official Splatoon Twitter account revealed the packaging of the limited edition of the soundtrack, including special new artwork of the Squid Sisters and Off the Hook on the front and back side of the box.
Announced last week, Fire Emblem Heroes’ Bridal Bloom banner featuring special versions of Tharja, Ninian and Sanaki is now live. There are also a couple of new paralogue missions, as well as quests to go along with them to earn additional orbs.
It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. Octopath Traveler is back in the top five, with Persona Q2 right behind it.
Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between April 26 and May 9.
Update: Resident Evil 7 Cloud Version now has a listing on the Japanese eShop, and it’s confirmed that English will not be included. Only Japanese is supported. It’s unclear what that means for any possible release in other territories.
Original: Resident Evil 7 Cloud Version is coming to Switch, Capcom has announced.
As the name implies, Resident Evil 7 will not be launching on Nintendo’s console in the traditional sense. Everything runs through the cloud (the “download” is just 45MB), so you won’t actually be purchasing the full game that can be played offline. You’ll need a stable internet connection while accessing the title.
SEGA tends to have a big presence at SXSW when it comes to Sonic. During a panel at the event in March, the company announced Sonic Mania Plus, a new Sonic Mania Adventures animated series, and more. Also at the very end, fans were treated to a teaser of what we pretty much know is some sort of Sonic racing game.
SEGA has been keeping quiet on that mystery project since that initial teaser. But during an official live stream this week, fans were given an indication that news is coming soon.
Dispatch Games recently opened its very own online store. You can see what’s currently available here.
Dispatch’s store will carry standard editions of games, but also exclusive limited editions. Penguin Wars and Psyvariar Delta are up first. Both of their limited editions come with a PC-based digital download code for the complete soundtrack, which is a $30 value.
Additional titles will be added to the store as they are announced.
