Sumo Digital introduced a new Snake Pass update late last month. It was a pretty substantial one, adding in Time Trials and leaderboards on Switch. However, that pesky rumble bug was brought back with the patch.
On the bright side, Sumo has been quick to address the situation. Another Snake Pass update is now available, bringing the game to version 1.2.1. You should notice that the rumble issues have once again been addressed.
Implosion – Never Lose Hope is receiving a worldwide release on the Switch eShop this week. System owners in all regions will be able to purchase the game on July 6. Pricing is set at $11.99 / €11.99 / 1,200 yen.
English, Chinese, and Japanese will be supported along with Japanese voice acting. The standard Joy-Con and Pro Controller can be used in the game.
Ratalakia Games is bringing I and Me to the Switch eShop this month. To download the game, 373MB of space is required. I and Me is due out in Japan this week and very soon in the rest of the world.
Two months ago, we reported that Splatoon 2 will have a file size of 5.5 GB, based off of a listing on Amazon Japan. Today, the Splatoon 2 page on the European Switch eShop was updated, and it now displays a file size of 3.1 GB. It’s safe to assume that this size is probably more accurate than the one on Amazon. It’s unlikely that language differences account for that much of a difference so Nintendo probably managed to compress the game’s files quite a lot in the last two months.
This week’s Famitsu review scores are as follows:

In recognition of the final overall score achieved in the recent voting gauntlet meeting a score of 141,940,296,724 all players will receive 10 orbs and 10,000 universal crystals. You are able to claim these rewards until July 18th.
Netflix recently showed off some footage of the upcoming Castlevania series including the intro. Luckily, there was some off-screen footage recorded during the showing. Check them out below.
