Unreal Engine 4 has technically had support for Switch since the technology’s last official release in February. However, at the time, it was considered “experimental”.
Unreal Engine 4.16 came out today. With this new feature, “Switch is fully-featured and ready for production”. Those who are approved developers can gain access to the full Unreal Engine 4 source code for free.
This week’s Famitsu scans are now available. Highlights include The Great Ace Attorney 2, The Alliance Alive, The Snack World, Layton’s Mystery Journey, ARMS, Splatoon 2, Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack, Mighty Gunvolt Burst, Piczle Lines DX, and Plantera DX. Scans of all games are below.

Various enemies will be included in Splatoon 2’s Hero Mode. Nintendo showed off one such type today with a brief animated GIF.

Here’s a quick look at the enemy in action:
