Inti Creates, the developer of the Azure Striker Gunvolt series, has been hard at work on its new game Dragon Marked for Death. Originally, it was slated for Winter 2017. With the lack of news since the original announcement, Inti Creates shared the expected news today that the game is now coming sometime in 2018 instead.

The official Twitter account posted the following earlier today:

2017 is almost up, so it would have been very surprising for Dragon Marked for Death to be released within the next couple of weeks. You can at least rest easy knowing that Inti Creates is doing everything possible to make the game as great as it can be.

You may know Davide Soliani as the creative director behind Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. But many years before that Switch game, Soliani wanted to work on another Nintendo franchise: Zelda.

During the GBA era, Soliani says he and artist Fabio Pagetti “almost convinced our managing director to let us produce a demo for a GBA version of Wind Waker.” Unfortunately, it didn’t get very far. There is also no working demo sadly.

Soliani shared the following on Twitter:

Many years ago, GO Series 10 Second Run hit the DSi Shop. That same game is back on Switch in the form of 10 Second Run Returns, and it’s out now on the Japanese eShop.

Below is an overview of the original game:

“Run like the wind in this unique twist on the classic platform game. Take control of a stick man and run for your life across an obstacle course to reach the goal within 10 seconds. Dash across platforms and avoid various hazards, desperately trying to reach the exit in time. Ten seconds is all you’ve got. Go flat out over 50 stages and three game modes. Do you have what it takes to reach the finish line?”

10 Second Run Returns seems to be very similar to the DSi game. However, split-screen multiplayer is supported for up to four players.

Here’s a trailer:
