During a live stream on NicoNico today, Hamster announced the next wave of NeoGeo titles bound for Switch. The King of Fighters ’96, King of Monsters, Art of Fighting II, Power Spikes II, World Heroes 2, Samurai Shodown II, and 2020 Baseball have all been confirmed.
Hamster didn’t set official dates yet, but these titles could be released sequentially. We’ll keep you updated on the releases each week as we normally do in any case.
Yooka-Laylee finally launches on Switch today. How does it stack up from a technical standpoint? Digital Foundry examines that very question in a new video today.
First, Yooka-Laylee runs at 900p when in docked mode. Portal mode pulls back the resolution to 600p. Digital Foundry ultimately says that this is a good compromise.
Coatsink Software announced a release date for the Switch version of Shu today. We can expect to see the 2.5D platformer on the eShop starting January 23.

Developer 5pb. has released a special trailer for the Switch version of their upcoming visual novel Steins;Gate Elite. This aptly titled “Famicom” commercial shows what the game would look like on an 8-bit system, like Nintendo’s Famicom.
Koei Tecmo has updated the official Attack on Titan 2 website with some character biographies and new details on various game systems like scout missions and character development. We’ve rounded those up below, alongside some new screenshots.
The Fire Emblem Heroes Twitter account has posted the image above, teasing two of the new heroes that will be available in a summoning focus starting next Monday, December 18th. A new log-in bonus will also start that day.
Judging by these silhouettes, it seems likely that these two characters are Lissa and Chrom. Given the timing, it seems likely that these will be Christmas-themed versions of them, and that they will appear alongside their fellow Awakening characters Robin and Tharja since Christmas-themed versions of them were found in the game’s files back when the game launched.
Splatoon 2’s next free weapon will be added to the game soon. The Slosher Deco has the same stats as the regular Slosher but comes with the Sprinkler sub-weapon and the Baller special instead. It’ll be available tomorrow around noon in Japan and Australia, early in the morning in Europe and later tonight in North America.
