THQ Nordic announced today that it acquired three new IPs from Mobile Gaming Studios and Enigma Software. The company now owns Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, War Leaders: Clash of Nations, and Legends of War.

That first one might be the most interesting to Nintendo fans. Way back in 2003, Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy landed on the GameCube. It’s a third person action-adventure titles that takes inspiration from the mythology of Ancient Egypt.

Nintendo won’t be launching Switch until March. Still, that hasn’t stopped EB Games Australia from listing a few accessories for the system.

Three @play products are now up on the retailer’s website. These include the Starter Pack and Starter Pack Plus accessories as well as an “Extra-Long 3m Charging Cable”.

The Starter Pack and Starter Pack Plus listings mention a “Go Case”, two screen protectors, and a cleaning cloth. The latter one also contains earbuds. EB Games’ final accessory is a USB-A to USB-C charging cable measuring at 3m. It would seem to indicate (but not confirm) that Switch uses USB-C as its charging method.

USB Type-C is a newer kind of connector. Among other things, it allows for faster charging. We’ll have to see if Nintendo ultimately goes with it for Switch.

Thanks to Stuart for the tip.
