SaGa: Scarlet Grace, which follows a multilayered story through several protagonists and a free scenario with a high level of freedom, has evolved and expanded to multiple platforms. Battles, which are rooted in a Timeline system, have further expanded with “Sparks” and “Party Formation.” Experience a one-of-a-kind RPG with a unique growth system that ditches the level system.

hrough Hollow Knight’s Content Packs, Chris has been expanding Hollow Knight with a full suite of incredible new tracks. Gods & Nightmares packages them all together in one epic album (along with an all new, live recorded arrangement, Pale Court).
It’s not been said before, but Chris created all of the extra Hollow Knight music for free! If you love the music (and sound) of Hollow Knight, buy the album and support this incredibly talented composer!

HK Switch Version 1.3.4.5
This one’s just some quick housekeeping. If you’re a Hollow Knight player on Nintendo Switch, you may have noticed a small update go out last week. That’s our bug fix patch to address a few stability issues and some niggling bugs in the release version.
With those fixes out of the way, our next update will be Gods & Glory, which will roll in a few more small fixes, including controller re-binding on Switch.

Daroach will be part of the second big update for Kirby Star Allies. The update is due to hit on July 27th, 2018.
Not only were there some control changes for Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker on Switch, some of the in-game content was cut/changed as well. The above video gives a rundown of all the changes between versions.
You can use USB devices such as a wired controller, USB keyboard, LAN adapter etc, which can't be connected to Nintendo Switch itself. Charge your Nintendo Switch while being in a table mode state. The angle can be changed so you can play with an easy-to-see angle.The recommended angle is 30 ° to 60 °. It is convenient to carry because it is not bulky even when placed in a bag or pouch. In addition, the stand part opens and closes and protects the terminal, it is possible to prevent breakage of the terminal part while carrying.
- 4 USB port hub
- Table mode charging
- Up to 60-degree adjustable angle
- Compact design
- Officially licensed product by Nintendo
Back when Another World was released in the states, it was called Out of This World. For nearly ever re-release after the original, the name was switched over to Another World. Over in Japan, the original release was titled Outer World. Why on earth was the game's name different around the world? Creator Eric Chahi explained to NWR in the snippet below.
There was an American TV soap opera airing at the time named Another World. For this reason, Interplay preferred to change the name. For the game’s Japanese title, Outer World, it was probably just to have a title that sounded better in Japanese. I personally like Outer World very much.
Many were happy to see that the Banner Saga Trilogy was getting a physical release on Switch. Now we have some news to bring the mood down a bit. According to the game's cover art, it looks like the retail edition will still require you to download some content to get the full game. We're not quite sure what the required file size is right now, but those details should surface soon.
Also a bit of a bummer, we see that the release date listed on Amazon is Sept. 21st, 2018. The press release for the physical launch said the collection would be out this Summer. With the last day of Summer coming in at Sept. 22nd, this release is going to make it just under the wire.
