Nintendo gave Ever Oasis a June 23 release date during its most recent Nintendo Direct. With the action RPG just a couple of months away, a North American teaser site is open. Access it here.
Aside from a trailer and screenshots, the page also has a fact sheet providing a general overview. We’ve attached the full thing below.
Rare split from Nintendo many years ago, but the company is nonetheless an integral part of the big N’s history. Some of the most memorable titles came from the studio. Without Rare, we wouldn’t have Donkey Kong Country, GoldenEye 007, Banjo-Kazooie, and many other classics.
A new book from Dark Horse will let you take a trip down memory lane. Rare Treasures, tentatively slated for the end of August, will contain “the history and highlights of the iconic studio Rare, from birth to present day”. It’ll come with art, commentary, and new insights from the team, and more.
Capcom recently dished out new DLC for its Japanese 3DS game Monster Hunter XX. In partnership with Nintendo, special content based on Zelda: Breath of the Wild was released. A couple of videos showing off the DLC can be found below.
Earlier in the week, Nintendo provided official details about its E3 plans. Along with a video presentation, tournaments for ARMS and Splatoon 2 will be held. The usual Treehouse stream will be back as well.
Nintendo’s presentation will no doubt be the highlight of E3. You may want to turn in to the Treehouse stream though, as it sounds like a few surprises could be in store.
Nintendo has the following on its E3 site:
We’re a tad late, but a new month is here! So that means we want to know what you’ve been playing.

System3’s building and simulation game Constructor is coming soon to Switch. For an early look at the title, watch the video below featuring a half hour of footage.
EA CEO Andrew Wilson recently shared some new comments about Switch. During a financial call, Wilson was asked about how the publisher feels about the platform following its launch.
We thought it might be wise to pass along Wilson’s full comments. As transcribed by Seeking Alpha, he stated the following:
“So we feel really good about it. Again, we came out early and said that we’ll be supporting the Nintendo Switch with our biggest title in FIFA. We have a tremendous relationship with Nintendo and have done for many, many years and are excited by the fact that they have come out very strong and are bringing in a whole new player base into the ecosystem. We continue to be bullish on it and are looking at other titles that we might bring to the Switch.”
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
Fabraz’s recently-released Slime-san is on the way to Switch, the studio has revealed to Nintendo Everything. It’s currently targeted for Q3 of this year.
A build of Slime-san is up and running right now on Nintendo’s console. Fabraz approached Nintendo at GDC, and dev kits were sent out soon after.
This isn’t the first time we’re reporting on Slime-san. Originally, the game was planned for Wii U. Fabraz told us that this version “is currently on ice,” however.
Get a look at Slime-san with the trailer below.
Nintendo put up another new Ever Oasis blog this week, led by director Koichi Ishii. Ishii went in-depth about how the world of Vistrahda was made.
Each time Ishii creates a new game, he always starts by coming up with the world setting. He draws the world map while considering various points like:
– Is the world a planet?
– What are the chemical elements that compose the planet?
– How do the climate and regions form based on those elements?
– What kinds of creatures live there?
– Are there humans and sub-human races?
– How do those humanoids live there?
– What are the personalities and traits of each race?
– What kind of tools are being used?
– What kind of things change with the passing of time?
