GalaxyTrail finally began to show off some footage from Freedom Planet 2 this weekend. A video showing Lilac was published, and now we have another one for Carol. View it below.
Reddit user beyond_the_willow is relaying some information about in-store pre-orders for Switch at GameStop based on a GSO letter, which is essentially a company-wide email. Locations across the United States will apparently begin accepting reservations on January 13. Additionally, each store will be allocated a certain number of pre-orders.
While this would certainly make sense given how the Nintendo Switch Presentation is being held on January 12, we’ll still consider it a rumor for the time being. We should note that beyond_the_willow previously shared accurate information about Hyrule Edition New 3DS XL and the Animal Crossing New 3DS pre-orders in 2015.
We’ll be seeing Spheroids on the Wii U eShop this Thursday in both North America and Europe. Take a look at some footage below.
