Dark Witch Music Episode: Rudymical, a spinoff of The Legend of Dark Witch games, is one of the newest titles for the Switch eShop. Have a look at some footage below.
One fan has gone above and beyond to fully customize a Switch unit. Every aspect has been redone to match the style of the Super Famicom – the console itself, the individual Joy-Con controllers, and even the dock.
What was used here are some really nice-looking skins. You can get a closer look at the customized Switch below with various photos.
This sort of makes you wonder if and when Nintendo will start coming out with different designs for Switch aside from just various Joy-Con colors. There were a ton of different options with the 3DS, so it wouldn’t be out of the blue to try something similar now.
Much like the Wii U version, Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition supports online play. There is a key difference separating the two versions though: audio gamechat.
This is something included with Minecraft on Wii U. But with Switch, no such option exists. It’s thought that we won’t be seeing it until Nintendo finishes the upcoming smartphone app.
Toys “R” Us locations will be holding a special Pokemon event this Saturday. Between 1 PM and 3 PM local time, Pokemon Sun/Moon will be playable. Giveaways and activities are also planned.
Attendees will be provided with a free Tapu Koko poster when they play the Pokemon Sun/Moon demo. Other goodies include a free Alolan Vulpix foil card, TCG collector’s album, and Eevee figure for the first 50 visitors.
Participating locations are as follows:
Three new My Nintendo rewards are now up for grabs in North America. All of them tie in to the recently-released Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
For 50 Platinum Points each, you can nab a wallpaper or June calendar in eight different resolutions for PC, smart phone, or tablet. There’s also a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Starter Guide from Prima for 10 Gold Points. The first two can be redeemed until June 2 while the guide will remain on the site until the start of October.
These rewards are located on My Nintendo under the smart device / PC category here.
Rain Games has posted the final character trailer for World to the West, which is still slated for Wii U. The new video focusing on Miss Teri is below.
Chucklefish is back with a new blog post about Wargroove to provide fans with a status update. The team is focusing on palette swapping the various assets, which is necessary since more than one person can be playing with any given faction in multiplayer. Read up on the full blog here.
There’s a new way to pre-order the Culdceld Revolt Limited Edition. Other than the NIS America store, Amazon is taking reservations as well. You can pre-order it here.
Note that there is no 20 percent discount for Prime members at the moment. If that changes, we’ll let you know.
In other Culdcept Revolt news, NIS America updated the game’s website with details about the different systems. Access the page here.,/b>
Another NeoGeo game has received a release date on the Switch eShop. Next Thursday, Galaxy Fight: Universal Warriors will be available. The Japanese eShop lists it for May 18. NeoGeo games tend to arrive during the same week worldwide, so we expect this to continue with Galaxy Fight.
Hamster still has a number of NeoGeo games in the pipeline for Switch. These include Shock Troopers 2nd Squad, Last Resort, and the first Sengoku.
Galaxy Fight: Universal Warriors will be priced at $7.99 / €6.99 / £6.29.
It was announced a couple of months ago that Rime would be priced at $39.99 / €44.99 / £39.99 on Switch. That’s despite the fact that all other versions will be sold for $29.99 / €34.99 / £29.99. Naturally, people weren’t happy about the $10 price hike, but publisher Grey Box is looking to soften the blow.
Rime’s digital version will now cost $10 less, down to $29.99 / €34.99 / £29.99. Although the physical version’s price isn’t changing, it will now include a printed code for a download of the full soundtrack, which will normally cost $10 on its own.
Grey Box reiterated today that the original price difference comes down to “the additional development, manufacturing, and publishing costs” on Switch. If it were any lower, Rime would be sold at a loss.
Below is the full message from Grey Box:
