Bandai Namco has gone live with the first trailer for Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy on Switch. We have the video below.

Kirby Star Allies

For those with access to the European Switch eShop, a free demo for Kirby Star Allies is out now. You can find it by accessing the game’s store page in the “Coming Soon” section.

Here’s a trailer promoting the demo’s release:

As far as we know, the Kirby Star Allies demo will not be out in North America today. However, as long as you create a European Nintendo Account, you should be able to download it regardless of your region.

This week’s North American Nintendo Downloads are as follows:

Switch Retail

Scribblenauts Showdown – $39.99 (available March 6)

Update: Bumped to the top. The Trail: Frontier Challenge will launch in the Americas on March 8.


Original: Last year, The Trail: Frontier Challenge from Kongregate and 22cans released on Steam. Much like with Outlast yesterday, out of nowhere, the exploration-driven simulation game has now unexpectedly landed on Switch. This case is even stranger as we previously had no idea that The Trail would be making its way to Nintendo’s console.

The Trail: Frontier Challenge is a reworked version of 22cans’ mobile title that first appeared a couple of years ago. Peter Molyneux, the creator of Fable, Populous, Black & White, and other games, founded 22cans in 2012.

Nintendo isn’t done with updates for Super Mario Odyssey. It’s unclear if the game will be getting any additional free modes or paid DLC in the future, but there are at least new costumes on the way.

Thanks to last week’s update, which added Luigi’s Balloon World, we may have a pretty good idea as to what Nintendo has planned. Dataminers have plucked through the files from version 1.2.0 and have found many new hats and costumes – complete with their descriptions.

Nintendo Switch

The latest Japanese hardware sales from Media Create are as follows:

Switch – 39,696

And here are the software charts:

Outlast was added to the Switch eShop today. Its sequel, Outlast 2, isn’t too far behind. The European and Australian eShops now have a listing that shows a release date of March 27 (expect it on the same day in North America).

Outlast 2 will cost £26.99. It’ll take up 9.6GB of space.

Below are the first screenshots from Outlast 2 on Switch:

And a lengthy overview:

Update: Bumped to the top. Outlast: Bundle of Terror is out now in North America as well.


Original: We knew that the Outlast games would be coming to Switch at some point. Yet strangely, out of the blue, Outlast: Bundle of Terror has popped up on the European eShop and can be purchased right now.

It’s unclear if this is a mistake, but it’s rather odd for this to appear randomly. In any case, we have some screenshots of the game on Switch below, along with an overview.

Natsume passed along new information about Wild Guns Reloaded today, including a release month. The game is scheduled for April and will be released physically and digitally.

Pre-orders are live at GameStop here with other retailers to follow. In case you’re curious, pricing is set at $29.99.

As previously mentioned, Wild Guns Reloaded has new features on Switch including Beginner Mode and Boss Rush: Time Attack. Further details on these modes and general information about the game can be found below.
