@HammerKirby Yep, who knows what could happen in the future! _
I've updated this article to make mention of the fact The Gunk is being made by a 25-person team and that it's working on a 3D game in a commercial engine for the first time ever.
The promotional artwork shows the protagonist holding a weapon of sorts. So I guess there's at least some combat mixed in with the puzzle and survival elements. Here's a bit more from the PR:
"Be sure to be alert at all times, and use anything you can find to fight off the encroaching terrors of Winterlake."
@Coach_A As you can see in the article, this was sourced from Push Square.
On-topic - this might get me to return to Wargroove. As much as I love it, I never got around to checking out the DLC when it was released earlier this year on the Switch.
@RazumikhinPG This news post is based on the English PR and there's no mention of a physical release for the west.
A physical premium edition is coming out in Japan on October 15th. It may / may not include English language support - can't guarantee anything. Pre-orders are available now on Amazon Japan.
Update: Oh, Play-Asia as well, but there's no mention of multi-language support. Fingers crossed.
Back on topic, I would love to be able to play PSO2 on my Nintendo Switch.
The Xbox and PC version isn't even available in my region, so I had to change my location settings just to download it. It's been great so far, and I'll definitely be checking out this revamped version, if possible.
Although Game Rant said the image on the right in the above promo art "is absolutely from the recent three Tomb Raider games" this doesn't seem to be the case.
As noted by @PcTV above, it appears to be artwork from Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light (2010). Here's the full shot:
"Get up and get moving in the simple new Jump Rope Challenge game, now available for free as a limited-time release until the end of September in Nintendo eShop on the Nintendo Switch system and on Nintendo.com"
"Get up and get moving in the simple new Jump Rope Challenge game, now available for free as a limited-time release until the end of September in Nintendo eShop on the Nintendo Switch system"
@jipiboily It was announced/officially confirmed for the Switch last January. Here's the announcement trailer (notice the date): https://youtu.be/2XU9lz45tKU
@AggravatedRobber He does make reference to Nintendo at the very beginning. It just wasn't included in the above quote (via Gamasutra). I've added it in now.
I'm sure, like many others, he has enjoyed his time at NoA.
@Ninfan Stability, but if you want to go deeper, here's some additional info from the Switch homebrew community via Wccftech:
"today’s system update updates the Switch OS's certificate store, which contains all of the files that the Switch uses to help identify servers as trustworthy (HTTPS)"
A filter icon was also recently added to the sales section of the Switch eShop.
@Loserkid41 I thought that might be the case. I've updated the article to reflect the fact that the only thing added (and new here) is the filter icon.

Re: Shakedown: Hawaii For Wii U Arrives Next Week
@MaxlRoseGNR Yep, that's correct. From Vblank:
"As mentioned previously, the Wii U version is unfortunately region-locked for North America. However, the Wii version is European Wii U compatible."

Re: Image & Form's New Game Required Power The Switch Didn't Have, So It Did A Deal With Xbox
@Henmii According to the same interview:
17:25 - Is it fully exclusive to Xbox or is it a timed exclusive?
Brjann Sigurgeirsson: "It's fully exclusive to Xbox." (Windows PC and Game Pass)

Re: Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Director Explains Why Remaster Cut Local Co-Op
From our previous story:
There's also a free Lite version being released - meaning you only need one full version of the game to play online in a party of four.

Although Game Rant said the image on the right in the above promo art "is absolutely from the recent three Tomb Raider games" this doesn't seem to be the case.
As noted by @PcTV above, it appears to be artwork from Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light (2010). Here's the full shot:

This looks like it will be a retro collection - excluding Crystal Dynamic's reboot trilogy.
Re: Shin Megami Tensei Is Being Added To Japan's NSO Super Famicom Collection
To avoid any confusion, I've removed Japanese Nintendo's line about SMTV. As of December 2019, it was still in active development:

Re: Kirk Scott Leaves Nintendo Of America After Five Years

@super08mario If a new program was to go ahead, I assume so - if it doesn't though, there are no guarantees...
Re: Nintendo Is Supposedly Restructuring Its Brand Ambassador Program
@super08mario I've spoken to GoNintendo, and they told me multiple YouTubers have been contacted (BeatEmUps is just one example).
At this point, it appears to be tied to YouTube channels, but it may go beyond this. If I hear anything else, I'll update the story.
