Arc System Works has released some information on Cube Creator X for the Switch via their Japanese website; the folks at Gematsu have kindly translated this new info:
Gameplay modes
Essentially, there will be three distinct modes in the game: Adventure Mode, which features a variety of gameplay elements including exploration, combat and communication, Creative Mode, where you can build up an original world at your own pace and Stage Builder Mode, in which you can use gimmick cubes to create unique stages.
Home World
Home World is a new addition to Adventure Mode in this game. It is a sort of hub world from which you can travel to other worlds. There are no enemies here, so you freely customize it, have conversations with citizens, buy items and more.
Evolved Systems
There are three times as many cube types in this game compared to Cube Creator 3D. Also, systems such as height, weight, heat and weather have been added.
Avatar Customization
Avatar customization has been improved and offers more options than ever before, so you can easily create an avatar that suits you.
Finally, there’s also a first gameplay video to be found on the game’s website, sadly without sound though:
Fans of idol games, rejoice: Takara Tomy A.R.T.S has announced PriPara: All Idol Perfect Stage exclusively for Switch. Described as a “fashion and rhythm action game”, it will launch in Japan on March 22nd. Early copies of the game will include a download code for a Shion and Hibiki card set. Another early purchase bonus will be announced later.
PriPara (short for Prism Paradise) is mostly known as an arcade game in Japan, though there are also several anime series and movies. PriPara is the successor to the Pretty Rhythm franchise, which is also a series of idol rhythm games.
Thanks to preview images of this week’s Famitsu magazine, we have some first details on the Switch version of Birthdays the Beginning, called Happy Birthdays, which will be released in Japan on March 29th. We will get a more in-depth look once we get our hands on the full issue tomorrow, but for now, here’s what we know: this port will feature various improvements, including making it easier to see the conditions and places where creatures are born. There will also be improvements to the game’s speed and new creatures will be added. Development is currently 80% complete.
A couple of quests featuring Anna have just been added to Fire Emblem Heroes. It’s not much, but any chance to gain a couple of orbs is welcomed.
Ver. 1.1.2 for Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is up now and is a rather small update all things considered. It is detailed as fixing some small bugs on the app store at this moment.
In this week of Pokemon Shuffle we have a new Minior stage and Latios Escalation Battle stage lasting until January 23rd. Dialga, Palkia, Zekrom & White Kyurem stages have also returned for players to try out.
The next global mission in Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon has started. The new theme is “Win at the Battle Agency!”.
For the latest mission, the goal is to win as many times as possible at the Battle Agency in Festival Plaza, with 100,000 being the target. Everyone who participates will receive 2,000 Festival Coins if players win a collective 100,000 times between January 9 and January 22. Even if the goal isn’t reached, a participation prize of 1,000 Festival Coins will be handed out.
You can earn double the amount of coins by registering at the Pokemon Global Link by the end of the global mission. That means you can receive 4,000 when the goal is reached, and 2,000 even if it isn’t.
Rabi-Ribi is coming to Switch, Winking Entertainment has announced. The side-scrolling platformer is currently without a release date, but we imagine it will be ready sooner rather than later.
Here’s more information about the game:
