Moonlighter was announced for Switch last year. We haven’t heard too much about the game in recent months, but it sounds like it isn’t too far off.
Digital Sun Games wrote in a new Kickstarter update this week:
Final debugging of console ports. The game is already playable from beginning to end on Xbox One, PS4 and almost there on Nintendo Switch, but it still needs some more work before starting the certification process. This is the major point pending, it’s a lot of work, but we are very close to finish and things are looking good.
Here’s an overview and trailer for Moonlighter in case you missed our previous coverage:
NIS America announced two more games for Switch this week. The Lost Child and God Wars: The Complete Legend are coming to the system this year, with limited editions planned for each.
First up, The Lost Child Limited Edition includes the following:
Nintendo has provided first details on a new Fire Emblem Heroes update. Version 2.3.0 is planned for March.
The update will be highlighted by a few different features. Nintendo and Intelligent Systems are adding a new type of map known as Rival Domains, a regular type of map called Blessed Gardens, new weapon skills, and more weapons that can be refined.
Here’s a full rundown of the update:
New evidence has emerged pointing to a release of the well-received horror puzzle platformer Little Nightmares on Switch. The news comes from the CV of a staffer at Engine Software – a company that has previously handled Switch ports. Engine Software previously worked on The Escapists 2, Blossom Tales, and Monopoly for Switch.
The employee at the studio makes it pretty clear that the port is happening. We have the relevant excerpt from the LinkedIn profile below:
After only just being announced in this week’s Famitsu, Kyogeki Quartet Fighters was released for the Switch eShop in Japan. We’ve posted the game’s trailer below.
IGN Japan posted a new Valkyria Chronicles 4 video containing 18 minutes of footage. You can watch all of the gameplay below.
The time between Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario Odyssey was four years. Super Mario 3D World came to Wii U in November 2013, while Mario Odyssey launched last October.
Since it took several years for a new Super Mario game from EAD Tokyo and Odyssey arrived in time for Switch’s first year, some have wondered if the title was ever in development for Wii U. Nintendo ruled that out in the latest issue of Game Informer.
One topic brought up when people discuss Switch these days is the amount of ports (or re-releases) the system is receiving. Nintendo itself has brought over a number of games from the Wii U era – normally with a few extras – including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Pokken Tournament DX, Bayonetta 1 and 2, and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (in May). We’ve also seen games from other platforms make their way to Switch, including The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Doom, L.A. Noire, and more.
Some feel that there are too many older games coming to Switch. On the other hand, those in favor of the idea point out the benefit of portable play and how some of these titles were previously not on Nintendo platforms.
What side of the fence do you side on? Do you feel that there are too many ports finding their way to Switch? Or are you in favor of past releases joining the platform? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below.
