Thanks to Annapurna Interactive, Sam Barlow was able to bring his investigative thriller Telling Lies to Switch this week. Right around the game’s launch, we caught up with Barlow to discuss the project in greater detail. We chatted about the experience of adapting the title for Switch, the possibility of Her Story receiving a port, and more.

Our full discussion can be read below. As for Telling Lies, the game is available now on the Switch eShop.

A few days ago, leaks started to surface regarding some of the older Pokemon games. We were able to get a look at tons of beta designs from the Gen 2 era, which was followed by even more earlier sprites and other assets. Apparently, this Pokemon content was just a larger portion of an overall huge Nintendo leak. Source code for older systems, Spaceworld ’99 demos, and more have started to appear online.

Also included are some massive leaks involving the Wii. It seems that the console’s full source code, design files, documentation, and essentially all material involved with its creation have started to spread.

It’s been almost thirty years since the last original entry in the Streets of Rage franchise, but Streets of Rage 4 comes back larger than life with a fresh coat of paint alongside that addictive and incredibly satisfying beat-em-up gameplay that made it such a big hit for SEGA back in the 1990s, rivaling the likes of Double Dragon and Final Fight. Streets of Rage has been a household name still to this day despite the lack of a new entry thanks to myriad ports and being included in a wide array of collections, but finally having a new entry – and it having been done in the way it is – is such a great way to bring a beloved franchise to the modern day in a big bold way. With intuitive controls, gorgeous detailed stages, a soundtrack that mixes an 80’s electronic vibe with retro feels, a breathtaking art style, and fluid fun combat, Streets of Rage 4 says hello to 2020 in the best way possible, giving fans old and new alike plenty to enjoy in a package that doesn’t feel bloated or shallow but always wants you craving more.

Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition

Nintendo just released a brand new trailer for Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition. We have it below, along with a pair of Japanese commercials.

Update: Eurogamer is running a similar story. The site says Nintendo “has told publishers set to reveal games during its showcase that it needs more development time on its first-party games.” Additionally, “publishers have been told not to wait if they wish to make their own reveals individually.”


Original: Usually when June rolls around, you can generally expect Nintendo to host a presentation of some kind. That used to be in the form of in-person conferences at E3, but in recent years, the company shifted to Nintendo Directs instead. However, there’s a chance that we won’t be getting any sort of presentation in June this year.

VentureBeat is reporting that Nintendo has told partner developers it will not hold a Nintendo Direct during the month. The site says “complications brought about from Japan’s work-from-home order as part of its attempts to mitigate COVID-19 are forcing Nintendo to push back its schedule.”

Burnout Paradise Remastered

Burnout Paradise Remastered was previously thought to be releasing for Switch on June 19 after it was listed on the eShop. EA has made the news official today.

Burnout Paradise Remastered is a redone version of the 2008 game. It’ll run at 60 frames per second on Switch, and has a bunch of DLC included.

Here’s the official overview from EA:
