Switch has seen the release of a few cloud-powered games. Phantasy Star Online 2 kicked things off, followed by Resident Evil 7 and most recently Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.

There’s one company behind all of these games on Switch: Ubitus. Though the titles are only available in Japan, it’s worth getting some insight into how they’re running and the tech behind the service. For that reason, we’ve gone ahead and translated an interesting interview with director of game development Ko Midoro and SVP of global business development Ozan Kocoglu, which was recently conducted by Famitsu.

Bethesda has brought over past titles to Switch, and is also looking at the system when it comes to its future lineup. However, one game we’re unlikely to see on the system is The Elder Scrolls Online. In an interview with GameSpot, Bethesda explained why.

The bottom line is that, according to director Matt Firor, the game is simply too big. It stands at about 75GB, and Firor says “it just will not fit on Switch.”

Nintendo posted a video today from the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Wendy’s College Tailgate Tour. Fans have picked up on a couple of interesting things from the footage.

First up, here’s the video:

Focus Home Interactive is bringing Vampyr to Switch, the company announced in its latest financial report. The game is developed by Dontnod Entertainment of Life is Strange fame. This will be the studio’s first game on a Nintendo platform.

Earlier today, we reported on Koei Tecmo opening up the Japanese website for Atelier Lulua: The Alchemist of Arland 4. In a surprise move, they also launched the European and North American websites for the game, confirming the game’s localization and slight title change to Atelier Lulua: The Scion of Arland as well as a release window of “Spring 2019”. So far, no sign of the limited editions that Japan is getting.

The website also confirms Lulua’s full name as “Elmerulia Fryxell” and introduces Eva Armster, another party member and Lulua’s childhood friend. The screenshots on the website still show the Japanese version of the game, by the way.

The cosmos has always been fascinating. From our blue dot, Earth, being able to look up and see the stars shine, it’s natural to wonder what’s out there or what it’d be like to walk on other planets or visit other solar systems first hand. It’s because of this that I’ve always found sci-fi and space exploration intriguing regardless of the medium helping to bring those thoughts and galaxies to fruition with our imagination. Titles like Mass Effect, Elite Dangerous, Everspace, No Man’s Sky, and so much more have helped bring us as close as possible to experiencing the extraterrestrial within the comfort of our own homes (with significantly less danger) and laid the foundation as well as continue to push various ideas on what lies beyond the exosphere in a variety of different ways. Starlink: Battle for Atlas takes the best parts of space exploration, planetary farming, star battles, and more and brings them together in a way that’s immersive both in and out of the game with a toys-to-life approach that, surprisingly, doesn’t actually need any toys to be enjoyed to its fullest.
