The wait for Constructor Plus has been a long one. System3 has announced release windows a few different times, only for the game to be continuously delayed. So what’s going on?
We do at least know that the development team has been very proactive. When Constructor Plus finally hits Switch, it will have a bunch of additional content. The game will have 100 new buildings (up from 44), a new intro, new levels, skyscrapers, and improved gameplay.
We can expect to see the new Constructor Plus news channel Switch in mid-December. A digital pre-order will also go live on the eShop with a trailer. It shouldn’t be too much longer after this that Constructor Plus finally comes to Switch.
A new update has started distribution for Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. On iOS, the update number seems to be version 1.0.1. It’s version 1.0.2 for Android devices.
As for what the update does, it’s nothing terrible exciting. Nintendo has implemented several bug fixes. Hopefully the game should run smoother than ever.

Nintendo released a new Zelda: Breath of the Wild Explorer’s Edition for Switch this week. It features a copy of the game, a map, and and an Explorer’s Guide with lore and learnings. For a closer look at the package, check out the unboxing video below.
A few days ago, OPUS: The Day We Found Earth and MUJO were confirmed for the Japanese Switch eShop next week. It looks like these two games will also be arriving shortly in the west.
Nintendo’s website lists OPUS: The Day We Found Earth and MUJO for November 30. Additionally, this same date is included for the games in listings added to the European Switch eShop. At this point, it’s practically a done deal.
Here’s an English trailer for OPUS:

Some of you may remember Slain, a game we covered on the site a number of times in the past. The game was slated for Wii U. Unfortunately, it was cancelled after Digerati Distribution decided that sales on the system were “just too weak to justify the port”.
Wii U is mostly out of the picture at the point, but Nintendo does have a new console on the market. Digerati Distribution seems to be taking advantage of the opportunity, and Slain: Back From Hell is coming to Switch. A listing on the European eShop reveals the news.
We have the following overview and trailer from the listing:
Over in Europe, Aqua Moto Racing Utopia and Snow Moto Racing Freedom have both just been released for Switch. We have trailers for the two titles below.
This past week, 505 Games published the new Switch version of Portal Knights on the eShop (a physical version will follow early next year). You can view some footage in the video below.
Shinobi Refle: Senran Kagura debuted on the Japanese Switch eShop on Friday. Since then, it has already raced to the top of the charts, and is currently the most downloaded game. It only took a day or so for that to happen. Since Shinobi Refle: Senran Kagura is currently Japan-exclusive and we don’t talk about the Japanese eShop charts a whole lot, it’s interesting to point out.
Another Senran Kagura game, Peach Ball, is also coming to Switch. We don’t know too much about this one yet, other than its genre (pinball) and confirmed support for HD Rumble.

Even after Splatoon 2’s major update this week which added a ton of content, the game also just made the Hydra Splatling weapon available a short while ago. Have a look at some footage below.
Around the launch of Super Mario Odyssey, Japanese website 4Gamer conducted an interview with producer Yoshiaki Koizumi. It was a pretty big discussion, with Koziumi touching on all sorts of points. He talked about how Nintendo went about developing the game, the “Jump Up, Super Star” theme song, Pauline’s inclusion (an interesting note on Nintendo’s original plans for her), the higher age rating compared to past titles, and more.
Towards the start of the interview, when asked about the theme of Super Mario Odyssey being “journey”, Koizumi first described that their initial concept was to make “a new Mario that continues to stick in people’s minds” and they thought of new ideas that couldn’t be put into past Mario games. Among them, the one that can be put in rather well was the term “journey”.
