AeternoBlade II was announced in late 2015. Corecell Technology originally intended to bring the game to 3DS, but those plans have since been scrapped. It’s now targeted for Switch due to the team incorporating Unreal Engine 4.
In other news, the art team behind AeternoBlade II has resigned. Corecell Technology will be looking for support from the community when it opens an Indiegogo campaign “soon”.
The company wrote on Facebook:

Despite it being April 1 when the message was posted, Giant Margarita assures fans that it was not an April Fools’ Day joke.
For those who haven’t heard about Party Golf previously, here’s an overview:

Each year, Nintendo produces a “Company Book”, which is given out to new and prospective employees. The book outlines the company’s philosophy and structure, but it also contains a lot of new and unique artwork depicting Nintendo’s games and characters. Photos of this year’s handbook have now come in – view them in the gallery below:

A new Voting Gauntlet for Fire Emblem Heroes will be starting on April 5, and it will feature, as expected, Wyvern Riders vs. Pegasus Riders. The Gauntlet will run until April 10. Team Wyvern Riders is represented by Cherche, Camilla, Beruka, and Minerva, while the Pegasus Knights are Hinoka, Subaki, Cordelia, and Palla. For the most part, the rules are the same as the last Voting Gauntlet. The only changes are that there will be different Special Quests starting on the second and final voting rounds, and the reward amounts will also be different.
Furthermore, there are two new Summoning Focus that are running now. The Wyvern Riders focus features a higher chance of rolling 5-star versions of the Wyvern Rider representatives, while the Pegasus Knights Focus is the same for the Pegasus Knights. Both of these will run until April 11.
It was back in 2014 when we first heard about Animal Gods. Still Games funded its project on Kickstarter, and promised a version for Wii U.
Animal Gods ended up releasing towards the end of 2015. About a year and a half later, it’s finally launching on Wii U. A listing on the eShop shows a date of April 6.
We have the following overview:
The Animal Gods have fallen. Once sacred, they are now husks—haunted beasts lost to toxic fumes from a great bronze industry. Play as Thistle, a small & agile warrior hellbent on destroying the curse that plagues these creatures. Wield a 17th century BC Bronze Sword… and set the Gods free.
Key Features
Cloak of Flame
Dash / warp through toxic-maze like rivers. Dashing moves Thistle a fixed distance over a fixed amount of time and upgrades to The Long Dash.Map of The Unholy
Lets you choose dungeons in any order. Journey to the Gardens of Gwyn, the Halls of Eynd, and the Coast of Syn. Find the weapon and weapon upgrade in each dungeon to defeat the Animal Gods.Light Puzzling
Puzzles rely on approximately 75% skill and 25% strategy. Each dungeon asks players to assess the obstacle ahead and approach cautiously. Puzzles are largely skill-based requiring a hint of strategy and luck.Character Driven Story
Find notes left by occult-leader Rodrik, starry-eyed Juliette and Scientist Sven. Animal Gods’ story balances the relationship between three key characters and their ties to the dark underbelly of the City of Sky Mirror.Lives-09-Mode
09-Lives mode unlocks after successfully completing Animal Gods on “normal” and challenges you to complete dungeons with 09-lives or less.
