Death Squared has launched on the Switch eShop in North America and Europe. We’ve attached the game’s launch trailer below.
A new Pokemon Sun/Moon distribution has kicked off in Europe. If you’ve purchased either version, you can now obtain a Shiny Tapu Koko. Get the Pokemon via the Mystery Gift option.
We’ve not yet heard about a similar distribution for North America. However, it’s thought that something could be coming soon.
Smiling Buddha Games announced plans to bring Use Your Words to Switch back in May. Its launch may not be far off, based on an eShop listing.
The European eShop claims that Use Your Words is scheduled for August 3. It will cost £11.79.

Nintendo has reason to believe that Cave Story+ will be available in Europe next week. The eShop is currently listing the game for a July 20 release.
It goes without saying, but this news should be taken with a grain of salt. eShop listings haven’t always been correct, so we wouldn’t be surprised if the European date for Cave Story+ ends up being inaccurate. Either that, or the digital version of Cave Story+ will be heading to Europe well before the physical release.
A bunch of new details and screenshots are in for Layton’s Mystery Journey. Today’s news blast covers episode 3, several characters, and mini-games. Find everything rounded up below, courtesy of Gematsu.

Bumpy Labyrinth mini-game
