One Japanese boy made his own Switch out of cardboard, which his father – known as Mohikan on Twitter – noticed. He ended up surprising him, and in a pretty thoughtful way.
Mohikan put a real Switch into a cardboard mock-up while his son was taking a bath. On Twitter, he wrote: “I wonder when he’ll notice.”

Hamster is keeping up with its NeoGeo releases on Switch this week with yet another title. On Thursday, The King of Fighters ’99 will be available, according to Nintendo of Europe’s website.
Here’s an overview:
“THE KING OF FIGHTERS ’99 is a fighting game released by SNK in 1999 in Japan.
This entry in this series marks the beginning of the NESTS chapter of the KOF story, and focuses on the new character K’ instead of Kyo Kusanagi.
This entry introduces a new Striker Match mode, adding an even more strategic element to the classic KOF game system.”
While The King of Fighters ’99 hasn’t been officially announced for all territories, NeoGeo games tend to launch at the same time around the world. That should happen with this title as well.
Magikarp Jump is now out in Japan, and as such, a release trailer for the game has been published, which gives a brief overview of its gameplay and features. Check it out:
Koji Igarashi has talked about his upcoming Kickstarter project Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night at the recent BitSummit event in Kyoto. He revealed that development of the game is roughly 20 to 30% complete and he has acknowledged that he needs to “increase his pace” if he wants to complete the game by its intended release date of 2018. Igarashi also stated that the reason the Wii U version was cancelled was because the Wii U would not be a relevant system anymore in 2018. Since the game is using the Unreal engine and is being ported from PC, developing the Switch version is a lot easier. Finally, he’s thinking about showcasing the game at E3 since there are a lot of North American backers (although it is not clear if he meant this year’s E3 or next year’s).
As we reported yesterday, Magikarp Jump is now available on the Japanese Google Play and iOS stores. However, what’s noteworthy is that this release came with a new patch for the game, which brings it to version 1.0.1. This version includes language support for English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean and Traditional Chinese. If you can access the Japanese web stores, you can now play the game in the language of your choosing. Even if you can’t do that though, it shouldn’t be too much longer until the game is properly released in more countries.
