Rising Star Games has confirmed its lineup for PAX East 2018. Three titles will be on display, and each one is planned for Switch. Trailblazers, RICO, and Decay of Logos will be playable for the first time to media and consumers.
Here’s some additional information about each game:
Shantae: Half-Genie Hero – Ultimate Edition is coming to Europe on April 27, PQube and WayForward announced today. All pre-order and launch copies will be the Day One Edition, which contains the 30-song Risky Beats soundtrack CD plus a 100-page artbook filled with unseen sketches of Shantae and the gang. The game on a cartridge and DLC are included as well.
North American publisher XSEED hasn’t set a final date for Shantae: Half-Genie Hero – Ultimate Edition as of now. We should be receiving news very soon, however.

Obsidian has a new trailer up for Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire highlighting the game’s features. We have the video below.
Mew has yet to appear in Pokemon GO since launching nearly two years ago. But judging by a new update from Niantic, it sounds like the Mythical Pokemon will be arriving soon.
New “research tasks” are being put in place to help Professor Willow get to the bottom of mysterious happenings thought to be connected to Mew. Here’s the full rundown from Niantic:
Nintendo has filed several new trademarks for “downloadable videogame programs” in Japan. They are as follows: Dillon’s Dead-Heat Breakers, Luigi’s Mansion, Mario & Luigi, Metroid, Metroid Prime, Smash Bros., Wario Land and WarioWare. Most of these are from franchises that we know have upcoming games. The odd one out here is Wario Land, which currently has no new game announced.
Of course, this trademark doesn’t really mean much by itself. Just last year, Nintendo picked up a trademark for the Virtual Boy version of Wario Land, but so far nothing has come of that. We’ll just have to wait and see if this trademark will amount to anything.
Fox n Forests is a retro 2D platformer coming to Nintendo Switch this Spring. Check out the video below to see about 5 minutes of gameplay from the game’s “Gorgeous Gorge” stage:
