And... it's now on the eShop.

Release date is 13th November 2020.

Not just Steve, but Alex, the Zombie and the Enderman.

By the way, James Rolfe (aka Angry Video Game Nerd) has announced that The Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures I & II Deluxe is coming to Steam and Nintendo Switch on 30th October 2020.

It's right at the beginning of the new AVGN episode, released today. https://youtu.be/6144EJIDj94

@KingMike Judging by previous Arcade Archives releases they'll probably put both Japanese & US versions on.

No Super Aleste? I'll pass.

Whoopsie-gravy!

@FX102A Bravely Default II is published by Nintendo outside of Japan. Then again, one of these Partner Showcases showed a physical release of Cadence of Hyrule, which was published by Nintendo...

I didn't like it back then. I don't like it now.

No Arcade Archives Contra?

Not available in Europe, it seems...

@TG16_IS_BAE BTSX is another add-on mod. Loads of levels (at least 25 levels in the first episode) and a different skin for the HUD.

This week's Arcade Archives release is Super Punch-Out!!, available from tomorrow.

@Oppyz666 They only report using the press releases they get from Nintendo of Europe, which usually doesn't bother to mention the Arcade Archives releases anymore, which is disappointing.

This week's Arcade Archives game is the original Burger Time.

Piko Interactive hold the IP of The Immortal now. So to anyone still expecting the likes of Desert Strike and Jungle Strike to come to the SNES app, they're still owned by EA, so I wouldn't hold your breath.

@alexybubble Absolutely not. Crytek kept hold of the Crysis IP.

@OorWullie The Immortal is now an IP of Piko Interactive, the people who licensed Eliminator Boat Duel to the NES NSO app. It's also on a Piko Interactive compilation cartridge for the Evercade: https://www.evercade.co.uk/piko-interactive-collection-1-cartridge/

@pipes Probably never as a) Capcom's games aren't part of the Arcade Archives series and b) UN Squadron/Area 88 was licensed from the manga series of the same name.

Bought it on day one. Love me some Mr. Driller!

The Arcade Archives game out today (and not last Friday, which was Vs. Baseball) is Wiz, an action game by Seibu Kaihatsu from 1985.

No Arcade Archives game listed? Must be coming out tomorrow as a Switch exclusive then.

@OorWullie The most modern Arcade Archives release is IREM's In the Hunt, released in 1993.

@masterLEON That would be the Nintendo European Research and Development team in Paris, formerly known as Actimagine, the company who created the Mobiclip video codec for mobiles and game consoles. Now specialising in middleware and retro system emulation for Nintendo systems.

@TheWingedAvenger And that was a licensed game, based on the cartoon of the same name, so you'll never see it anywhere.

A new F-ZERO? A man can but dream...

@Markiemania95 Well, Kirby Super Star is on there.

Today's Arcade Archives game is MagMax, the 1985 Nichibutsu shooter.

Let's hope it's not as broken as the last one where the disc versions only contained the training level with the rest of the content released as a massive day one patch. Then again, it's an Activision thing...

@GrailUK Don't you mean Karate Champ rather than International Karate? If so, it's already on Arcade Archives. (IK was a C64 game by Archer Maclean published by System 3)

@Gerald Flak Attack is available now.

@Gurtelytis There's one on my island. Has been since day one.

No mention of Arcade Archives: The Tin Star in the list. Downloaded it for some preparation for the arrival of Sunset Riders.

I'd love it if Mr. Driller came to the Switch.

This is the same Jim Carrey who has only done two sequels of his own films - both of which were critically mauled (Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls and Dumb & Dumber To).

@coderkind A quick look-me-do at the UK eShop confirms that Fantasy Zone and Shinobi will also be released in UK & Europe on 23rd January, priced at £5.99 each.

@alpacatears There's usually a previously unannounced game that gets a surprise release during the presentation. Will that be the case again here?

By the way, in 2017 YouTuber Kim Justice (and I know she has some fans here) did a great video on the history of The Bitmap Brothers, charting their origins, rise to fame and sad-but-inevitable burnout.

@tendonerd Rebellion are a publisher themselves with Sold Out as their distributor for physical releases.

By the way, the picture of the Rebellion CEOs and Mike Montgomery is in keeping with the spirit of the Bitmaps' picture of Montgomery, Steve Kelly and Eric Matthews stood beside Robert Maxwell's helicopter.

@tendonerd Yeah, like when Macaulay Culkin appeared on Angry Video Game Nerd to play some of the Home Alone games. He thought they were awful.

@Severian Aren't they already?

@Steel76 That and "Do the Donkey Kong".

It's now the Wednesday after, and Arcade Archives Scramble is not yet available across Europe. It's not listed on any of Nintendo's websites across the UK or mainland Europe (except for their Swiss website, although the title itself is not available to download).

Free Beer Tomorrow.

@Scollurio The GRID Autosport news channel on the Switch says a free multiplayer update is in development.

@Spoony_Tech I'd buy that for a dollar!

Stealth launches of Bulletstorm: Duke of Switch Edition and Risk of Rain 2 from Gearbox on the EU eShop today (30th August) as well!

@Pod No, Digital Eclipse are handling the remaster, with Nighthawk Interactive publishing at retail.

Mega Drive & Game Boy versions of Aladdin (as well as the trade show demo of the Mega Drive version), and SNES, Mega Drive & Game Boy versions of The Lion King. Game Boy versions also playable with their Super Game Boy enhancements.

Trailer: https://youtu.be/ko8ey8JCpP8

2K with some choice barbs aimed at EA.

@Edu23XWiiU Free Radical made TimeSplitters, EA only published the third game. THQ Nordic now hold the rights to TimeSplitters.

@flapjack-ashley There's Mutant Football League, but that isn't a pure American Football game like the Madden games. I forgot about all the Popcap IPs as well like Plants vs. Zombies and Peggle!

If I were to get any EA games that could potentially come to the Switch, they would probably be PGA Tour (if they choose to revive the series), Grand Slam Tennis, SSX, NBA Street (or NBA Jam), Need for Speed or Dead Space.
