Two important updates regarding Moonlighter, the Kickstarted action RPG by Digital Sun Games. We now have a confirmed release month for the game – it will launch on Switch in May. Also, the game is getting a physical release in North America as Merge Games will publish the game in that region. No word yet on a physical release in the rest of the world.
SEGA published another (Japanese) trailer for Valkyria Chronicles 4 today. This one gives an overview of the game’s combat system:
The latest event in Fire Emblem Heroes has begun. The most recent Voting Gauntlet pits Celica, Robin, Takumi and Zelgius against their dark counterparts. As always, you’ll choose one of them to support in each round and fight against the opposing team. Each of the Voting Gauntlet’s rounds lasts two days, so make sure you do the accompanying quests on time so that you can get most of the rewards.
A new set of clothes are now up for players to craft in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. Some clothes include: silver frames, sailor’s shirt, sailor skirt, sporty shades, blue cap, and fishing vest.

System: Switch (eShop)
Release date: March 1, 2018
Developer: Bithell Games
Publisher: Bithell Games
With the growing popularity of Switch, developers all across the industry are seeing just how big of an impact Nintendo’s newest console is having on the market. As a result, the system has received an influx of not only third-party developed games, but also a barrage of creative and imaginative indie titles. One such title, Subsurface Circular, is now making the jump to the Switch after its initial release in August 2017. Developed by Mike Bithell Games, the same developer responsible for Thomas Was Alone, Subsurface Circular takes an interesting approach to one of the earliest video games genres ever created: the text-based adventure.
