@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"

Re: Mario Celebrates His 35th Anniversary With Two New Nintendo Switch Controllers
@Kalmaro There's no mention of NFC, gyro or rumble support. To my knowledge - PowerA's wired pads don't include all that.
I've got a PowerA wired controller myself (Legend of Zelda themed) and it's got none of those features.
@Desa It's a wired controlled. The detachable wire/cable is simply for storage purposes:
"A detachable 10ft USB cable with a Velcro-strap is included for reduced clutter and easy storage."
Re: Shakedown: Hawaii For Wii U Arrives Next Week
@HotGoomba The Wii version was released on 9th July. It was limited to 3,000 copies and has now sold out.

@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."

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.

This looks like it will be a retro collection - excluding Crystal Dynamic's reboot trilogy.
