A couple of days ago, we came across a listing for Flashback 25th Anniversary on Amazon Germany. It was the first time we had heard about the Switch release since Microids’ announcement last year.

Microids has now officially confirmed that Flashback 25th Anniversary is heading to Switch in June. A collector’s edition will be sold in Europe and Australia (folks in the US can import from Amazon Germany here), which certainly makes the €39.99 price tag from Amazon Germany more justifiable. Included inside is a physical copy of Flashback 25th Anniversary, a retro cartridge style metal case, an exclusive numbered metal card, a 24-page retro-style instruction booklet, and the digital soundtrack (remastered version).

The LEGO Incredibles was rumored earlier this year. Now thanks to the LEGO Juniors Incredibles 2 sets, we can say that it’s happening.

These new sets are appearing at retailers ahead of their official launch. On the back of the instructions booklet, an image is included for the LEGO The Incredibles game, which has not been officially announced.

LEGO The Incredibles is coming to Switch and other platforms. It should arrive later this year. Warner Bros. should be making the news official in the not too distant future, so stay tuned for details. 

Thanks to Jake and dondom95 for the tip.

This week’s issue of Famitsu contains a new ARMS developer interview. The magazine caught up with Kosuke Yabuki, the game’s producer. Yabuki talked about updates (including how Springtron was an unexpected addition to the roster), lore, eSports, what lies ahead for the IP, and more.

Yabuki first said that Nintendo had initially planned to update ARMS multiple times until it was updated to version 5.0.0 by the end of 2017. But of course the team decided on the update content not only from what had been planned previously but also from player requests. It felt like polishing ARMS together with all players, so Yabuki was glad about that.

SEGA made several announcements during its Sonic panel at SXSW today. To close out the event, the company teased an entirely different project.

Aside from the teaser below, we don’t have anything to go on. But intuition would tell you that it’s some sort of Sonic-related racing game – especially given past rumors over the past couple of months.

No name or anything else for this one. SEGA only said that it isn’t a sequel to any of the Sonic games released thus far. Hopefully we’ll hear more in the near future.

Switch gained a new update this past week. While it added some features and implemented some improvements, it unfortunately seems to be causing major issues for third-party docks.

A number of docks not made by Nintendo have been released over the past year, including from Nyko. YouTuber Spawn Wave reports that his system has been completely bricked after using the company’s device with the latest Switch update. It simply won’t turn on, and it currently seems that all save data will be lost as a result.
