That headline might be a little confusing for those who have been paying attention to our game ratings posts over the last few months. Quite awhile ago, we shared a Brazilian ratings board listing for Journey to the Savage Planet on Switch, and that was followed up recently with a Switch ESRB rating as well. That should mean a port is a done deal, right? Well, things are now a little bit murky following comments from the dev team.

Developer Typhoon Studios's creative director Alex Hutchinson recently appeared on the Game Informer podcast, and he was asked about Journey to the Savage Planet on Switch. Hutchinson responded with the following.

“If we could ever get a Switch version together, I think it would be brilliant to have the two people next to each other, so we’re looking into it.”

Adding to that statement, Hutchinson said the team is “still figuring out how to handle” the game on Switch, and would most likely work with an outside studio for help.

I happen to think this conversation is just a bit of distraction by the developers. We clearly see they're more than considering a Switch release with the various ratings. I'm guessing they just aren't ready for the full reveal yet.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office has arressted Wan Piao, owner of a toy import store in El Monte, California, and charged him with manufacturing and possessing more than US$1.4 million in counterfeit goods. Piao was in possession of more than 500,000 counterfeit items, all of which belonged to the Pokémon, Hello Kitty, and Super Mario franchises. Piao is charged with seven felony counts of counterfeit of a registered mark, and taking more than US$500,000 through fraud and embezzlement.

DOOM Eternal is the latest installment in the long-running franchise, but it's going to offer an old-school option for longtime fans of the series. As you see in the tweet above, DOOM Eternal is going to include an option that lets you center your weapon on screen. FPS games nowadays have your gun aligned more left/right, the early days of the genre saw your gun smack-dab in the center. That exactly what the original DOOM offered, and now you can go back to that style when Eternal launches in March 2020.

We got the drop on the announcement of the GALAK-Z: The Dimension and Skulls of the Shogun: Bone-a-Fide Edition Platinum Pack, which was rated for release in Australia. Now we have even more word on the double pack's release, as both Amazon and GameStop have added listings for the game. Both have the title priced at $30, and list the release for March 31st, 2020.

I love a good game mystery. Things in games that were deliberately included, but you can't explain why. The 'ghost' in Super Mario 3D Land is the perfect example. While we've talked about this ghost in the past, that was only in relation to its appearance in Level 4-4. Did you know you can spot this ghoul in other locations of the game? Check out the video above to see where else he pops up!

Never Again – Horror/first-person Quest. The main essence of the game is research locations and puzzles, plunging in the dramatic story of a little girl suffering from asthma.

The main character – Sasha Anders, a thirteen year old girl who awakens from a nightmare. The world seems to be upside down for her. Everything becomes so strange. The house is imbued with loneliness and longing and it seems strange to our character considering it was always dominated by love and harmony. Everywhere except for the heroine’s room, suspiciously darkens, without even a single sound. Her parents and younger brother have gone missing. The girl is smart and sensible beyond her years, but each person has their own fears, and sometimes they cannot cope. This is especially troubling Sasha, due to the slightest fear, she feels suffocated.

The story that we’ll tell you penetrates deep in your heart and leaves the experience forever. The saddest part of this mystical tale, is that it is not a tale at all. This is the story of a little girl, the story of Sasha Anders.

Never Again hits the Switch on Jan. 30th, 2020, and is priced at $14.
