Layers of Fear: Legacy is heading to Switch, Aspyr Media and Bloober Team have revealed.

Layers of Fear, which first debuted last year, is “a first-person psychedelic horror game with a heavy focus on story and exploration.” You play as a painter whose primary task is to finish his Magnum Opus. In the game, you’ll be exploring “a constantly changing Victorian-era mansion”.

We’re still waiting on the Cave Story+ co-op update in North America. However, it should be live in Europe now. Get a look at some footage of the mode below.

Bandai Namco did something interesting for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 on Switch. After completing certain sections, you can access story content from the original Dragon Ball Xenoverse.

It’s actually pretty simple. As long as you finish one story in Xenoverse 2, you can access the story from the original. So after completing the Buu saga in Xenoverse 2 for instance, the Xenoverse 1 version will be unlocked.

Yesterday, we reported that Laura Post is the voice of Primrose in Project Octopath Traveler. We also seem to have the actor for Olberic.

While he didn’t technically confirm his role explicitly, Patrick Seitz appears to be voicing the character. Seitwiz put out a tweet a couple of days ago showing the art for Olberic.

Seitz has been involved with tons of games over the years. Perhaps you’ll recognize him as Magnus from Kid Icarus: Uprising? Or maybe as Zeke from Fire Emblem Echoes? He also voiced Draug and Hector in Fire Emblem Heroes, among many others.

Thanks to Anthony for the tip.

We’ve started to see more 3DS games from Nintendo these days that are playable in 2D only. Kirby Battle Royale continues that trend. It wasn’t mentioned in the Nintendo Direct, but the boxart shows that stereoscopic 3D isn’t included.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions is another upcoming 3DS title in 2D only. That game launches on October 6. As for Kirby Battle Royale, it’s due out in November 3 in Europe and January 19 in North America.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

During Variety’s Entertainment and Technology Summit, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime was asked about Switch’s success thus far. He weighed in on why the system has been flying off store shelves.

Reggie first highlighted that the ability to take home console games on the go is a big selling point. Having great games like Zelda: Breath of the Wild as well as support from big third-parties and indies has also been important.

Here’s the full response from Reggie:
