More Paper Mario: The Origami King

Nintendo UK has opened a proper website for More Paper Mario: The Origami King, revealing more details and footage for the game. We have content pertaining to the game’s characters, gameplay including weapon equipment, accessories, and more.

Here’s the full rundown:

Gods & Monsters

After an accidental leak yesterday, some Google Stadia users were able to try out an early build from Ubisoft’s Gods & Monsters. As it turns out, this was a version shown to the press at E3 2019, so it is significantly dated.

Ubisoft has since commented on the leak. Executive producer Marc-Alexis Cote told Kotaku that a lot has changed, including the name of the game. Additional news will follow at the end of summer.

Cote’s full statement reads:

Ninjala

GungHo Online Entertainment has shared a pair of trailers for Ninjala. Videos showcasing the game’s story mode and first season can be found below.

Ninjala is due out for Switch on June 24.

Nintendo Switch

In the United States last month, Switch again performed well. The latest NPD report reveals that the console kept its streak going as the best-selling hardware platform in both unit and dollar sales.

There’s another impressive stat for Nintendo as well. Switch unit sales were the highest for an individual platform in a May month since the DS in May 2009.

We should also note that Switch’s year-to-date dollar sales remain the highest of any hardware platform in US history. Wii set the previous high in the year-to-date period ending May 2008.

Gods & Monsters

At E3 2019, Ubisoft revealed Gods & Monsters. The open-world action-adventure game, which has drawn a few comparisons to Zelda: Breath of the Wild, is currently experiencing extended development after being delayed well beyond its planned February 2020 launch. It’s been a year since the original announcement and we’ve yet to see much of the project, but a new leak has given us a look at the title in action. 

Today’s leak came about in a very unexpected way. It appears that an early development build briefly appeared on Google Stadia and a few users were actually able to get their hands on it. Clips show a big world to explore, a stamina meter like Breath of the Wild, combat, and more. However, it should be stressed that since this is a dev build, not all assets/elements are final, and there will be changes for the final release.

Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time

IGN has showcased the first gameplay from Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time with show creator Genndy Tartakovsky. View the footage below.

Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time is slated for a summer release on Switch.

Microids and Playmagic have shared an official trailer for XIII, a remake of Ubisoft’s shooter from the GameCube era. Watch it below.

XIII launches physically and digitally for Switch on November 10.

The Escapist Indie Showcase

The Escapist Indie Showcase is beginning now. Today’s presentation kicks off at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET / 5 PM in the UK / 6 PM in Europe.

We’ll be getting a look at over 70 games, so presumably there’ll be at least a few things here relevant to Switch owners. Viewers can expect new reveals and gameplay, along with developer diaries. We’ll report back with any notable Nintendo news.
