NIS America prepared a new overview trailer for its Switch game Disgaea 5 Complete. Have a look at the video below.
Update: The Disgaea 5 Complete demo will be out in Europe on Friday.
Original: It was said during last month’s Nintendo Direct that a demo for Disgaea 5 Complete would be made available prior to the game’s overseas launch. That time has now come, as the trial can be downloaded right now from the North American Switch eShop.
You can access it by checking out the “Coming Soon” section and visiting Disgaea 5 Complete’s page. An option should appear on the right sidebar to download the demo. It clocks in at 999MB.
Nintendo has set releases dates for Australia and New Zealand stemming from products covered in last month’s Nintendo Direct.
First, the Switch Dock Set is planned for May 26th. It will be priced at AU$129.95.
Next up are the Smash Bros. amiibo. Previously announced for July 22, the Cloud, Corrin, and Bayonetta amiibo arrive on July 21 for AU$17.95 each. The Inkling Girl, Inkling Boy and Inkling Squid amiibo will also be out on the same day.
Finally, Dr Kawashima’s Devilish Brain Training: Can you stay focused? is slated for July 29. Expect it to cost AU$49.95.

Ubisoft reported its latest financial results today. The news was accompanied by a financial call, which is currently taking place.
During the call, Ubisoft commented directly on Switch. The company is reported as having said that it has “new games on Switch” including one that isn’t announced. Also stated is that there are one or two other titles as well, which may be referring to previously-revealed titles such as Rayman Legends – Definitive Edition and Monopoly.
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is one Ubisoft game that has been heavily rumored for Switch. It’s speculated to feature turn-based combat, two-player local co-op, and a “goofy sense of humor” with playable characters including Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Peach, plus four Rabbids dressed up as Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Peach. If this project exists – which we do believe is real – E3 would be a good place to announce it.
A Switch version of Hover: Revolt of Gamers, Fusty Games’ upcoming action-adventure title, was confirmed earlier in the year. The project is now wrapping up with the Steam release planned for the end of May.
When Hover: Revolt of Gamers is ready on other platforms, it’ll be receiving a physical release. That may include Switch as well.
When a fan asked about a physical version for consoles, the team said on Twitter:
@SonCrew10 Yes, we going to communicate it when it will be ready !

Switch is a console, so hopefully the system will be included with any physical release plans. We’ll let you know if we hear anything official.

It’s possible that Ubisoft’s conference will be light on Nintendo titles as is usually the case. While unlikely, maybe we’ll get an early taste of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. If nothing else, perhaps Ubisoft will touch on the next entry in the Just Dance series…
