Is Freedom Planet coming to Switch? Quite possibly. The image above was posted to the official Facebook yesterday, along with the text: “Are we doing it right?”
Developers often announce their games for Switch by showing them running on the console. GalaxyTrail seems to be doing it in a very similar way, though what’s shown on top of the system here is the soundtrack from the physical PC version.
Freedom Planet made it to Wii U back in 2015. GalaxyTrail is also working on a sequel, which should eventually come to Switch after the initial PC debut.
The results are in for Splatoon 2’s latest Splatfest. Team Comedy took home the win in an incredibly close battle.
Team Action had the edge in popularity. However, those who sided with comedy won by 1% in both solo and and battles. Because of that, Team Comedy won by a score of 2-1.
This week, it was revealed during the Nintendo Direct Mini that Ys VIII is coming to Switch this summer. It’s a pretty big deal since Falcom’s series hasn’t appeared on a Nintendo platform in quite some time – it’s primarily been a PlayStation franchise as of late.
Interestingly, the Switch version of Ys VIII is not actually being handled by Falcom directly. NIS America is publishing the game in North America, while parent company Nippon Ichi will release it in Japan.
Nintendo sent out a new update for Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp earlier in the week. According to the official patch notes, bug fixes were implemented. It was a clear sign that the update was small in nature.
The update also makes a change that is small, yet still interesting. In version 1.1.2, the Isabelle kite model was altered. It was previously right over left before, but now shows the correct left over right folding. The original way is only used when dressing the dead for burial, and is considered to be very bad luck. Nintendo obviously noticed the error and quickly made the fix.
Along with the recent off-beat video for Super Meat Boy’s release on Switch, a proper gameplay launch trailer has been published as well. View it below.
Fire Emblem Heroes has updated once again. Today, Nintendo and Intelligent Systems have started a Grand Hero Battle featuring Oliver: Admirer of Beauty.
This is located in Special Maps. By winning the battle, you can make him your ally.

Assault Android Cactus was announced for Wii U a few years ago. But unfortunately, that version of the game has failed to materialize. Wii U is likely out of the question at this point, but a Switch version could be possible.
Witch Beam’s Tim Dawson was asked about the chances of Assault Android Cactus coming to Switch. Dawson wouldn’t commit to anything, but did say: “It’s on our radar.”
It's on our radar
