At Comic-Con last month, SEGA announced that Special Stages will be included in Sonic Mania. It has since been confirmed that Bonus Stages (“Blue Spheres”) and Time Attack are in.
Here’s the rundown of each:
Aztez will be on a Nintendo console – be it Switch or Wii U. As we heard yesterday, the former is looking more likely at this point. While we wait for the Nintendo release, watch some footage below.
MixedBag previously teased its first game for Switch. In a message just posted on Twitter, the studio confirms that the title is none other than forma.8.
forma.8 previously came to Wii U. It’s a “unique take on the proven Metroidvania action-adventure formula, with a striking visual style and a huge world to explore.”
MixedBag will be sharing the Switch release date for forma.8 “soon”.
Since the cat’s out of the bag… yep forma.8 is coming to #NintendoSwitch! We’ll share the release date soon! #indiegame #nindies pic.twitter.com/4NDgBHkBdj

Atlus has a new Etrian Odyssey V trailer focusing on the Warlock class. We have the video along with a brief introduction below.
There are a lot of monsters that call the Yggdrasil home. Sure, cold hard steel and explosive gunpowder can usually get the job done, but sometimes a little more “oomph” is required when dealing with these pesky beasts. Thankfully, the Celestrian’s Warlock class provides a magical spark to these engagements. And when we say spark, we actually mean ancient power that can summon raging fireballs, monstrous hailstorms, amplify other magical abilities, and more! As they level up, Warlocks can further specialize in base elemental skills (fire, ice, and lightning) or branch out to learn new elemental earth and wind spells.
NeuroVoider is heading to Switch on September 7, Playdius and Flying Oak Games announced today. The game will be priced at $13.99 / €13.99.
Below is a general overview:
NeuroVoider is a twin-stick shooter RPG set in a cyber futuristic world about brains shooting around evil robots with nuclear rocket launchers. Battle through the horde of vigilant robots, boost your character with the smoking remains of your victims, and defeat the master NeuroVoider to end this eternal war. Play it coop with up to 4 friends, or go alone in an adventure of hack’n’slash rampage, with a pinch of rogue-lite, and some permadeath.
On Switch, NeuroVoider features an exclusive solo Joy-Con mode with an auto-aim system. Dual Joy-Con and the Switch Pro Controller are also supported.
We have a trailer for NeuroVoider below.
