Bedtime Digital Games released its last game Back to Bed on Wii U. The studio announced today that its next project, Figment, will launch on Switch later this year.
Figment is described as “a whimsical adventure set in the recesses of the human mind. Nightmarish creatures have arrived, spreading fear wherever they go. As Dusty, the mind’s former voice of courage, you’ll fight the nightmares and solve an array of puzzles. As Dusty gets back to his old self, he can help the mind to face its fears.”
Charles Martinet, the voice of Mario, was in attendance at Indiana Comic Con. During the Q&A portion of a panel Martinet was at, one of the questions was about what Shigeru Miyamoto – the creator of the IP – is like.
Martinet said in response:
He is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met in my life. Shigeru Miyamoto is (the creator obviously of Mario and Zelda) and took games from being this simple place, from being non-existent to existing with a plot, and a character, and a through-line for the first time, and then brought on side-scrolling, and then three dimensions.
It’s remarkable the amount of joy and happiness and work and fun he’s brought to the world. And he’s the nicest most kind considerate thoughtful wonderful human being you could ever hope to meet.
When he originally auditioned as the voice of Mario, Martinet hadn’t even heard of Nintendo. Martinet now feels that he’s the “luckiest guy in the world” since he loves the people he works with and enjoys meeting those “who enjoy the things that I do.”

Nintendo filed trademarks for four different controllers in Europe on July 18. These include the NES, SNES, and Switch controllers, but the most interesting one is a registration for the N64 controller.
Each filing was registered under the same goods and services category, which is more connected to physical products rather than digital. Speculation has fans wondering if Nintendo could be planning a Nintendo 64 Classic Edition. Only time will tell…
Update: The same date has now been confirmed for North America.
Original: One Piece: Unlimited World Red Deluxe Edition has a new, final release date in Europe. The game had previously been given a general September release window.
