SEGA has prepared a launch trailer for Sonic Forces, which officially comes to Switch tomorrow. See the video below.
Last week, Nicalis announced that a physical version of Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap will be released in North America towards the start of next week. We can also now say that the same package will be offered in Europe and Australia.
Headup Games will be responsible for the retail release of Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap in PAL regions. Just like in North America, it’s planned for Q1 2018.
Lizardcube, who developed Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap, shared today’s news on Twitter:

Update: You can pre-load Doom on the North American Switch eShop now as well.
Original: Pre-loading on the Switch eShop is beginning to become more and more common. The latest game to have made this option available is Doom, which arrives later this week. Switch owners in Europe can begin pre-loading Doom now.
On another note, we also have an update on the file size. It was sitting at around 13.4GB. Now, however, it’s at 21.3GB. That likely means multiplayer will be built in rather than a separate download, despite what was thought last week.
Thanks to Matthew M for the tip.

Nintendo has more maintenance lined up for all of its platforms this week. Switch, Wii U, and 3DS will be impacted over the next few days. Online play may be impacted.
Here’s the latest maintenance schedule:
Black Friday 2017 is just a few weeks away. With the big savings event so close, it’s no surprise that some of the deals are beginning to leak.
Target is first out of the gate. Unsurprisingly, some Nintendo deals are planned. Target is teasing games for $15, $25, $30, and $35. The full list is unknown at this time, but we’re aware that something like LEGO Worlds will be down to that $15 price point.
Capcom provided its latest financial results today, and revealed new data for both Ultra Street Fighter II and Monster Hunter XX for Switch.
Capcom once again that Ultra Street Fighter II was “a smash hit”. The game has shipped 500,000 copies worldwide thus far.
It’s been a couple of months since launch, but Nintendo has just now published an accolades trailer for Pokken Tournament DX. View it below.
1-2-Switch received an update last week that seemingly went under the radar. Players can now download version 1.1.
The new update adds one new thing: the ability to capture video. Similar to games such as Super Mario Odyssey, you can hold the Capture Button to record up to 30 seconds of the previous footage. The functionality will work if your Switch system is on firmware version 4.0.0 or higher.
Capcom commented a bit more on Switch stemming from its latest financial results. The company said that Switch is important as one outlet for multiplatform games. However, Capcom wouldn’t say if any exclusive projects are in the works.
The Wall Street Journal recently obtained a comment from Capcom in which a spokeswoman said releasing older games on a new console is not unusual for third-parties since there isn’t enough time to develop new titles within a year of its launch. Capcom has thus far released Monster Hunter XX for Switch in Japan, and will be bringing the Resident Evil Revelations games to the system this month around the world.
Farming Simulator: Nintendo Switch Edition is out this week both physically and digitally. We have the game’s launch trailer attached below.
