In a special Senran Kagura stream held today, a new game in the franchise was announced for the Switch – Peach Ball: Senran Kagura, a pinball game. The game was revealed to have HD Rumble support, allowing players to feel the vibrations when the ball hits an object on the table or the body of a character.
A release date has not yet been announced.
The next two characters coming to Fire Emblem Warriors have been revealed – Cordelia and Female Robin from Fire Emblem Awakening. This reveal comes to us via the preview for this week’s Famitsu magazine, so we don’t have a whole lot of information at this point. We do know that Cordelia uses lances and fights from the back of her pegasus. We don’t know much about Female Robin yet – is she a separate character from Male Robin? Or merely a different skin you can choose?
We will have more information once we get our hands on the full issue of Famitsu tomorrow.

Nicalis has shown quite a bit of support for Switch thus far. The publisher already shipped The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ and Cave Story+ with even more titles on the way.
As for what lies ahead, Nicalis’ Tyrone Rodriguez teased in a recent interview:
“We have several more games coming out on the Switch this year, some familiar and some brand new. You’ll have to wait and see!”
Nicalis will be bringing Blade Strangers, The End is Nigh, Ittle Dew 2, and Tiny Barbarian DX to Switch. It’ll be interesting to see what else is in store.
