Update: Bumped to the top. Both editions are now up on Amazon UK here. Note that the Nephilim Edition will be limited to 5,000 units worldwide.


It’s not too often that we see special editions for third-party Switch games, but THQ Nordic will be offering two of these for Darksiders Genesis. Amazon has put up listings for a Collector’s Edition and Nephilim Edition.

Omega Labyrinth Life

In a surprising bit of news, D3Publisher has announced that it will release the roguelike dungeon RPG Omega Labyrinth Life in the west. It’ll be out digitally in North America and Europe on August 1 – the same day as Japan. The western version will apparently launch without anything censored on Switch.

Here’s an overview of Omega Labyrinth Life, along with a trailer:

As mentioned earlier today, Disney Tsum Tsum Festival is due out in Japan on October 10. Alongside the game’s launch, a special Switch bundle will be offered.

The package includes a Switch system in addition to a copy of Disney Tsum Tsum Festival plus a code for DLC costumes in the actual game. Both the dock and Joy-Con have been specially-made (the home button is even stylized after Mickey Mouse), and the Switch itself will have a design on the back. Note that this will be the updated model with the longer battery life.

Astral Chain

Nintendo just released a new, 9-minute trailer for Astral Chain on its Japanese YouTube channel. Have a look at the video below.

Yesterday we heard that Nintendo would start to offer free repairs for faulty Joy-Con. This all came about after numerous complaints regarding drifting controllers, in which they would sent input to the console on their own. A lawsuit was also filed. Unfortunately, the free Joy-Con replacement policy doesn’t appear to be in effect worldwide – at least not yet.

The first example of this is in France. Numerama attempted to reach out to Nintendo’s customer service, and they denied having adopted a free Joy-Con replacement policy. French support claims it will still cost a customer €45 to replace a controller out of warranty.

Like other Fire Emblem games, Three Houses will include a few different difficulty levels and settings. Lunatic won’t be available right away, but it’s confirmed that it’ll be coming later on.

Genki Yokota, the director for Fire Emblem: Three Houses at Nintendo, shared the news in an interview with Famitsu this week. Players will be able to access the Lunatic difficulty following a free patch shortly after launch. This will provide an extra challenge for experienced players. He said, “please wait just a little bit [for the update].”

We’re currently working on a full translation of Famitsu’s interview, so stay tuned.
