Earlier this year, Farming Simulator was confirmed to be heading to Switch. Nothing was said about the project at the time, however.
A rating for Farming Simulator 17: Nintendo Switch Edition has now popped up in Australia. Although no such title has been officially announced yet, this is the game Nintendo’s console appears to be getting.
Assuming the classification is accurate, it is a bit odd that Switch would be getting Farming Simulator 17 rather than Farming Simulator 18. On 3DS, Farming Simulator 18 released last month.
We’ll be on the lookout for additional news about Farming Simulator 17: Nintendo Switch Edition.
First 4 Figures has announced a new partnership with SEGA and PlatinumGames that will see the company produce original Bayonetta Collectibles.
Unfortunately, specifics have not been revealed at this time. It’s unclear what sort of figures are in the pipeline, as no images have been released.
For now, we only have this teaser:
French website Gamekult recently published a new interview with Xenoblade Chronicles 2 director Tetsuya Takahashi. Unlike some of the interviews coming out of E3, this one is almost entirely focused on the game itself. Takahashi commented on the visual style and approach to character design, exploration, multiplayer, side quests, and much more. He also commented on the Baten Kaitos DS project that never came to be, though he didn’t have much to say.
We’ve prepared a full translation of Gamekult’s interview. Continue on below to see what Takahashi had to say about all things Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

At Japan Expo this week, GameReactor caught up with Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma. The discussion included talk about Breath of the Wild and Zelda in general.
Regarding Breath of the Wild, Aonuma reflected on the game’s reaction and those who say that the final boss was too easy. He also spoke in (very) vague terms about the next main Zelda – wanting to include HD Rumble, but it’s a long way off. Also, Aonuma basically said that Link is ambidextrous.
We’ve included what we feel are the more notable comments from Aonuma below. The full interview is on GameReactor here.
How much has Splatoon evolved visually from the first game to the sequel? When you really start to look at things and compare, it’s a pretty noticeable upgrade. You can see for yourself just how much the graphics have improved with the video below.
