Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy: Cloud Version

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy was announced for Switch today, but it won’t be running natively on the console. Similar to games like Control and Hitman 3, the game is a Cloud Version. That means you won’t be purchasing the game physically or digitally to run no Switch – instead it’ll be played through the cloud.

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Cloud Version releases on October 26.

Life is Strange: True Colors

Square Enix has put out an official announcement for Life is Strange Remastered Collection and Life is Strange: True Colors on Switch. We have the full press release below.

Life is Strange Remastered Collection and Life is Strange: True Colors are coming to Switch, Square Enix has announced. The news was just shared during today’s Nintendo Direct.

True Colors is expected on September 10. The upcoming collection should follow later in the year.

Here’s a video announcing the news:

Legend of Mana

Square Enix has issued the opening movie for Legend of Mana, which drops on Switch later this month. Have a look at the video below.

Legend of Mana releases for Switch on June 24.

Square Enix has shared a new Japanese TV commercial for NEO: The World Ends With You. Check it out below.

News started to make the rounds yesterday that Sonic the Hedgehog creator Yuji Naka had possibly left Square Enix. His first and only project with the company was Balan Wonderworld, which hit Switch earlier this year.

Naka has since addressed the situation with a message on Twitter. Aside from officially confirming that he left Square Enix at the end of April, Naka also noted that he’s considering retirement.

Here’s Naka’s full statement, courtesy of Siliconera:

Yuji Naka

After joining the company and creating just a single game there, Yuji Naka is apparently no longer with Square Enix. Naka, who directed the title and is often attributed as the creator of Sonic the Hedgehog, updated his LinkedIn and Facebook pages to show that he has moved on. It appears that Naka left Square Enix on April 30.

Naka told IGN last year that Balan Wonderworld was his “once change” to create a full-scale platformer.

Balan Wonderworld launched on Switch this past March. Unfortunately, the critical reception was negative.

NEO: The World Ends with You

A bunch of new gameplay has surfaced for NEO: The World Ends with You ahead of next month’s launch. We’ve rounded several different videos below.

Legend of Mana

Square Enix today shared a status update for its Legend of Mana remaster. The game will feature various upgrades, including high-resolution graphics, redrawn backgrounds, and an updated UI.

Here’s the full rundown:

During the Dragon Quest 35th Anniversary stream, series creator Yuji Horii announced that Dragon Quest III is being remade in HD-2D. He explained that this was due to the popularity of the game. However, it seems that Horii’s plans go past just a Dragon Quest III remake and on to also remaking the first and second games in the HD-2D style.

He started talking about this during the 35th anniversary live stream after announcing the Dragon Quest III Remake and saying that “Maybe afterwards, we maybe make [Dragon Quest] 1 and 2.” He continued by saying “So, we’re thinking maybe 3 we can start, and then maybe 1 and 2 there would be some kind of unexpected surprise.”

Eventually, the other presenter flat-out asked if Horii was planning on remaking the first 2 games in HD-2D as well, and he answered with “Well, we want too.” 

So, while these remakes are not official, it seems pretty likely that the Dragon Quest team has plans to bring the first 2 games to HD-2D after Dragon Quest III. This whole exchange was translated by an official translator on the live stream, so if you’d like to take a look at the original clip, check it out below (starts at 50:00)!
