We have a slightly more concrete release window for Thimbleweed Park on Switch. It won’t be this month, but the game should be launching sometime in September on the eShop.
Thimbleweed Park will support both Joy-Con controllers and touch screen controls. This will allow players to easily switch between tabletop, handheld, and TV modes. We don’t have a release date nailed down for the Nintendo eShop yet but expect it to be in September.

It’s troubling times for Japan Display Inc. having suffered a net loss of 31.5 billion yen this past financial quarter. The company could be forced to partner with a Chinese or Taiwanese entity if it intends to survive, and 3,700 people will be laid off – or 30 percent of its total workforce. That’s significant in the Nintendo scene as Japan Display is the sole supplier for Switch screens.
Takashi Mochizuki, who wrote about the news for WSJ, says that Japan Display’s business with Nintendo isn’t that big since Switch uses cheaper panels. The number of Switch units produced is also much lower than the amount of screens created for Apple products. A notable part of Japan Display’s troubles have come about due to Apple moving away from liquid crystal displays in favor of OLED screens.
It’s not entirely clear how this news will impact Nintendo and Switch, if at all. We’ll keep an eye on the situation going forward.
Game Informer is continuing its coverage of Game Freak and Pokemon today with some new insight into the studio. For the latest entry, the magazine goes over the company’s early history.
Game Freak first started out as a magazine / mini comic. When the Famicom was introduced, co-founder Junichi Masuda says the development of Mendel Palace started. Masuda said that the team “didn’t really have any official development equipment, so we just sort of had to hack the NES and figure out how it worked so we could develop on it ourselves without the official sort of development tools.”
