▶ Splatoon 3 Direct — A 25-minute presentation running through what you can expect from the next entry in the Splatoon series, which arrives next month . There’s details on new stages, game modes, weapons, character customization, DLC plans, and more. A new ‘Tableturf Battle’ mode is also highlighted here – it seems to be a fairly involved card game, which I honestly think would work well as a standalone mobile ‘thing’. ( Finally, Nintendo almost made this video available a day earlier than planned – oops .) Nintendo // YouTube Everything announced in the Splatoon 3 Direct — If you’d rather not watch the presentation above, Nadine has the text-based round-up you need. Nadine Dornieden // iMore ▶ Kirby’s Dream Buffet: Overview Trailer — A three-minute video sharing a closer look at this Fall Guys-alike. Looks cute, but I sure do wish the multiplayer was open to more than just four at once. It’s out next week, and is priced at a fair fifteen bucks — I’ve said it before though, I think this would have been a great NSO Expansion Pack subscriber perk. Nintendo // YouTube “It’s a bit more evil than Animal Crossing” – Behind the cutesy cult sim everyone’s talking about — Yeah, a fair few in the Switch Weekly Discord are enjoying Cult of the Lamb. Kate Gray // Nintendo Life ▶ REVIEW Two Point Campus — This ‘build your own University’ sim is out next week — here’s a look at the Switch version. Switch Up // YouTube Xenoblade Chronicles 3’s release feels like the Switch is teetering on the cusp of a real piracy problem — Playing Switch games on ‘other’ devices ain’t anything new, but the author notes that the recent release of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 marks what feels like a curious ” shift in the scale of the conversation “. Alex Donaldson // VG247 Nintendo won’t increase the price of Nintendo Switch “at this point” Vikki Blake // Eurogamer Your foot will save the World in Soccer Story, an Open-World RPG coming to console and PC — This looks lovely, and the dev said us European’s can call it Football Fable. 😄 Andrew Reiner // Game Informer The 1,000th Pokemon needs to be special Stacey Henley // The Gamer The kids who grew up on Pokémon are raising trainers of their own Teddy Amenabar // The Washington Post REVIEW Shin chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation – The Endless Seven-Day Journey — ” mashes together some quite contradictory concepts and comes up with something special “. Roland Ingram // Nintendo Life REVIEW Lost in Play — ” an outstanding puzzle adventure “. Aran Suddi // The Sixth Axis REVIEW Cleo — A Pirate’s Tale — ” Lean, light, and pleasingly presented, this is a perfect snack on the Switch “.
