Ubisoft has released a brand new trailer for the Donkey Kong Adventure DLC in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. We have that below, along with footage.

Gal Metal

DMM Games released the metal rhythm Switch title Gal Metal in Japan earlier this year. It’s now confirmed for the west as well, courtesy of XSEED Games and Marvelous.

XSEED will be handling publishing duties stateside. In Europe, that will be Marvelous’ role.

Kirby Star Allies - Daroach

Nintendo and HAL Laboratory announced last week that the next free update for Kirby Star Allies is planned for this summer. The two sides are now starting to show what will be included.

As we essentially knew before, new Dream Friends are on the way. The official Japanese Twitter account just revealed one of the new inclusions.

Pokemon GO will soon be introducing a new wave of Pokemon. Niantic announced today that some special Pokemon from the tropical Alola region, originally from Kanto, will be added to the game.

A specific date has not yet been announced. Niantic says the new Pokemon will be appearing “in the coming weeks.”

West of Loathing

West of Loathing was announced for Switch as a console exclusive during the last Nindies Showcase. Today, Asymmetric revealed that the game is arriving on May 31. It’ll be offered as a digital download on the eShop.

After it originally released on Steam last year, West of Loathing received a great deal of positive feedback. It features a hybrid of point-and-click adventure and open-world RPG gameplay.

Resident Evil 7 Cloud Version

Update: Resident Evil 7 Cloud Version now has a listing on the Japanese eShop, and it’s confirmed that English will not be included. Only Japanese is supported. It’s unclear what that means for any possible release in other territories.


Original: Resident Evil 7 Cloud Version is coming to Switch, Capcom has announced.

As the name implies, Resident Evil 7 will not be launching on Nintendo’s console in the traditional sense. Everything runs through the cloud (the “download” is just 45MB), so you won’t actually be purchasing the full game that can be played offline. You’ll need a stable internet connection while accessing the title.

Mario Tennis Aces - Adventure Mode

Mario Tennis Aces received a lot of love from Nintendo and Camelot this week. The company shared details about the demo, uploaded new trailers, and also opened the Japanese website. That site is where a bunch of additional information is provided.

As far as the story goes in Adventure Mode, things begin during the day of a certain tennis tournament. Chaos quickly ensues due to the power of suspicious rackets wielded by Wario and Waluigi. When the uproar has calmed down, Luigi – who was there previously – is nowhere to be found. Wario and Waluigi also suddenly disappeared.
