Everything we’ve heard about Pokemon GO over the past few days has pointed to the game receiving some of the first Gen III Pokemon during Halloween. The Apple Watch App Store further hints at this. An ad on the store shows Pokemon including Sableye and Duskull.
Also, it looks like a new hat could be introduced for the Halloween event. We’re able to see what looks like Pikachu wearing a witch’s hat.
Heroes of the Monkey Tavern is coming to Switch, a listing on the Switch eShop reveals. If it’s accurate, we’ll be seeing the game on November 7 in North America.
The core gameplay of Heroes of the Monkey Tavern is dungeon crawling. You’ll explore dungeons in grid-based movement, participate in static real time fights, and more.
Here’s a more lengthy overview:
Gameplay footage is in for first-person horror game Don’t Knock Twice. The game will be released on the Switch tomorrow, October 17. Check out the video below:
For those of you who missed out at launch, you’ll be happy to hear Sonic Mania Collector’s Edition is back up on GameStop at retail price. You can order yours here.

Update: The dream is dead, for now anyway. Keymailer’s co-founder says the listing was an error.
Keymailer co-founder here. This was news to me when I saw this thread. I reached out to the management team and apparently this is, sadly, an error on our side. The game was incorrectly tagged when we imported the upcoming releases.
Apologies on behalf of the company for any disappointment on this, as a Switch owner and a fan of Crash Bandicoot, I would have been as excited to play this.
Original: Keymailer is a company that connects YouTube and Twitch content creators to games publishers and developers via review codes. Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is currently listed for the Switch on Keymailer’s site. While this is likely an error, this would not be the first time the Crash Bandicoot series has appeared on Nintendo hardware, and there has been some inconsistent information whether the title would be a Sony exclusive.
Atooi announced Mutant Mudds Collection for Switch last week. It will contain Mutant Mudds, Mutant Mudds Super Challenge, and the new puzzle title Mudd Blocks.
Atooi founder Jools Watsham said in a vlog last week that he’s hoping to submit Mutant Mudds Collection within the next few days. A release date hasn’t been set, but it will likely be available sooner rather than later. You can at least expect it before Christmas.
Watsham also told one fan on YouTube that Atooi hopse to do a small physical run sometime next year. The studio may choose to team up with Limited Run Games for that. Limited Run previously said that they’d like to begin providing physical titles of indie offerings on Switch in 2018.
Thanks to Roto for the tip.
The Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Special Edition previously sold out on Amazon, but is back up once again. You can pre-order it here.
The Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Special Edition comes with a copy of the game, an artbook, sound selection CD, and metal case. It will ship on December 1 alongside standard copies.

Yesterday it was first made known that the Switch version of Just Dance 2018 has exclusive Mario maps. What that amounts to is apparently simply a remake of “Just Mario”. It originally appeared in the Just Dance games for Wii, but has been updated on Switch.
Here’s a look:
Other than “Just Mario”, the Switch version of Just Dance 2018 also allows for two-handed choreographies using the Joy-Con.
Update (10/16): In an interesting twist of fate, Atlus has released Shin Megami Tensei: Synchronicity Prologue on PC. It can be downloaded for free here until December 24.
Original (10/13): Atlus has released a rather interesting trailer for Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux, which will be released in Japan on October 26 and next year in the rest of the world. The trailer initially shows off a Metroidvania-style game featuring Jack Frost and Pyro Jack. This is a callback to Jack Bros., an action game for the Virtual Boy featuring those characters. Sadly, this apparent sequel to Jack Bros. is quickly declared “fake” by the trailer, which then moves on to actual game footage. Give it a watch:
