Devolver Digital sent out a tweet last October following a meeting with Nintendo. It went well, as the company said it was “confident” about some of its titles appearing on Switch in 2017.
A new update posted on Devolver Digital’s Twitter account just a few minutes ago notes that its “first Switch game is coming, hopefully later this year”. It also sounds like we’ll be hearing some news out of GDC 2017 next week.
The tweet is as follows:
Our first Switch game is coming, hopefully later this year! More news during GDC…exciting!

Images have appeared on a Chinese forum showing a teardown of the Switch. Due to the language barrier, it might be tough to really get a grasp on any notable information at present. However, there are quite a few images, all of which are posted below.
Nintendo put together a new European 1-2-Switch commercial to highlight a couple of the included mini-games. You can view it below.
Petite Games is planning another game for 3DS. Yesterday, the indie developer announced Petite Games, sharing a couple of screenshots in the process.
Going by the title and images, it’s obvious to see that you’ll be playing golf. Two modes are included: “Endless” and “Arcade”. The former has players hitting a ball in endless levels while the other involves seeing how far you can go with three trie.
Infinite Golf coming soon to Nintendo 3DS! Stay tuned for more information! #gamedev #indiedev #eshop #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/pGf3rirxkm

Thanks to Jose M for the tip.
Super Bomberman R is starting to appear at Australian retailers. Because of that, we’re able to get a look at the final Switch case and cartridge. Check out a few images above.
Nintendo had a little bit of a tease to share about Fire Emblem Heroes at Cipher Festival 2017 WEST. Two of the game’s directors stopped by, and teased a new event involving friends.
Currently, details about the event are pretty much non-existent. We only know that it will be going live sometime next month.
Stay tuned for additional details.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 Professional recently made its way to Japan. A lengthy look at the game is in the video below.
8-4 worked on the English version of Xenoblade Chronicles X. But for Xenoblade Chronicles 2, announced during last month’s Switch presentation, the localization company is not involved. Co-founder John Ricciardi confirmed that 8-4 isn’t handling the Japanese translation in a Twitter message last month.
Nintendo currently intends to have Xenoblade Chronicles 2 ready sometime in 2017. That includes North America and Europe as well, though some have doubts about it launching in the west this year.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
