Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles for Switch Launches May 17

   

Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles Comes to Nintendo Switch May 17

Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles, the open-world adventure from the former Activision producer and Rocksteady veterans at Prideful Sloth where players explore the vibrant but troubled island of Gemea, will offer a relaxing experience on Nintendo Switch May 17. A Switch-exclusive photo mode will help you capture precious moments and share them with your friends.

Shipwrecked due to an unexpected storm, your young hero or heroine soon learns that they’re on the gorgeous island of Gemea. While taking refuge in a cave, a magical sprite explains that the land’s natural beauty is tainted by a strange, dark substance called Murk. With the sprite by your side, it’s up to you to both cleanse the land and assist the townsfolk and gain their trust. Farm, craft, cook, brew, and fish to restore the land to its former glory!

Wander through grand forests, resplendent peaks, and breezy shores to befriend Gemea’s lively villagers and adorable animals. Eight biomes with breathtaking day, night, and weather cycles abound with sprites that will help expel the murk, offer quests to help you earn your place on the island, and an abundance of other secrets to discover at your leisure.

The delightful wonders of Yonder are like a warm hug, and the Nintendo Switch system lets you take that hug wherever you want. Kick off those shoes at the end of a long day and relax while you continue your journey of self-discovery.

“Yonder can be your home away from home on Nintendo Switch,” said Cheryl Vance, co-founder and director at Prideful Sloth. “We hope to see players embrace the calming feel of the game, no matter where they are.”

Yonder will be available digitally for $29.99 USD on the Nintendo eShop, and will be available via physical retail for $39.99 on June 12 in the United States and June 15 in Europe and Australia.

Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles will be playable in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Russian, and Brazilian Portuguese.

Nintendo Announces New Adjustable Charging Stand for Nintendo Switch
任天堂公布Switch可调节充电座 实现边充电边玩

　　任天堂Switch即将迎来官方发布的可调节充电座，这款可调节充电座售价20美元，将于7月13日发售。任天堂官方在周三晚上公布这一消息。这个设计让Switch桌面模式更容易操作，可以一边充电一边玩。

　　Switch充电接口在主机的下方，所以用支脚架期间是没发充电的，而这款充电器的侧目有AC适配器，使得游戏可以实现边充边玩。这个座充的角度也可以调节，适应不同的还原，获得最佳观看角度。

　　任天堂Switch有三种模式：TV模式，掌机模式和桌面模式。桌面模式可以让多名玩家一起游戏，不需要TV也可畅玩。





Nintendo Announces New Adjustable Charging Stand for Nintendo Switch

Launching on July 13 at a suggested retail price of $19.99, a new adjustable charging stand for the Nintendo Switch system makes playing in Tabletop mode easier than ever. With a handy port for an AC adapter on the side, the adjustable charging stand allows the Nintendo Switch system to be charging while in Tabletop mode, enabling longer play sessions.

The angle of the stand can also be adjusted to create the best viewing angle for different environments.

Nintendo Switch can be played in three modes: TV mode, Handheld mode and Tabletop mode. Tabletop mode lets players set up the Nintendo Switch system to play games on the go without the need for a TV. The compact and sturdy stand will work with any flat surface, like a tray table on an airplane or a dorm room desk. While not required, the adjustable charging stand makes playing in Tabletop mode more convenient.

Nicalis Announces Crossover Puzzle Fighting Game Crystal Crisis for Switch

   

Crystal Crisis Drops on Nintendo Switch This Fall!

Do you like puzzles? Do you like fighting? Well, have we got a puzzle-based fighting game for you! An all-star cast of heroes has gathered to test their mettle in Crystal Crisis, a cute and chaotic new color-matching combat game for Nintendo Switch.

Crystal Crisis is presented like a one-on-one fighting game, but instead of pressing buttons to kick and punch, you arrange falling gems into matching colors to clear them from the screen and inflict damage on your opponents. It’s the ultimate puzzle battle throwdown!







The game has 19 different playable characters, including your favorites from Cave Story+ and The Binding of Isaac and many other surprise entrants. Each character has his or her own “home” stage, musical theme, unique special attacks and extensive voice-acted exclamations. Here are the ones you might recognize:

• Quote, Curly Brace and Ballos (from Cave Story+)
• Isaac (from The Binding of Isaac)
• Atom and Black Jack (from Tezuka Productions)
• Princess Solange (from Code of Princess EX and Blade Strangers)
• Aban, Tina and Jim Hawkins (from 1001 Spikes)
• President Thompson and a Zombie (from The Tempura of the Dead)
• Akuji (from Akuji the Demon)
• Knight (from Hydra Castle Labyrinth)
• Johnny Turbo (yes, the notorious TurboDuo spokesman)







Joining them will be four newly-created characters from some of our top-secret games in development. Three of these fighters will be appearing in Crystal Crisis for the first time anywhere:

• Helen - A noble warrior inspired by Greek mythology (she’s also in Blade Strangers)
• Hunter - A whip-wielding vampire killer
• Elise - A bat-winged gothic vampire girl
• Ninja - A mysterious and acrobatic shinobi

Crystal Crisis has a “burst gauge” that gets filled up when you match gems and unleash combos, and when you have enough burst you can unleash powerful special moves. Some are board-breaking attacks that leave your opponents in pieces, others are defensive moves that can repair or rearrange your own gem board. There’s also an innovative new “wrap-around” feature that lets you move a falling piece beyond the edge of the playfield to reappear on the other side. You can even divide it into two separate gems by allowing it to drop while the two halves are straddling the border!







A variety of different modes (including Arcade, Survival, Tag-Team and Training) accentuate the battle options, and of course there are local and online multiplayer modes that make it easy for you to play against friends, family members and Crystal Crisis warriors worldwide!

Crystal Crisis for Nintendo Switch will be available digitally and physically in Fall 2018 for $39.99. Like all of our previous retail games for Nintendo Switch, the launch edition of the physical version will include a full-color instruction booklet and a yet-to-be-announced bonus collectible (or two). Don’t miss it!

Rumor: Retro is working on Star Fox: Grand Prix for Switch
传闻：Retro工作室正在开发《星际火狐》赛车游戏
转载 - Vgtime（http://www.vgtime.com/topic/947759.jhtml）

　　Retro Studios 作为任天堂旗下著名工作室，曾开发了《银河战士Prime》三部曲和多部《大金刚》系列作品，做完《大金刚 热带寒流》后就归于沉寂，近日有传闻称该工作室正在为任天堂另一知名 IP《星际火狐》开发赛车游戏新作。

　　传闻中的这款新作名为《星际火狐：大奖赛》（StarFox Grand Prix），国外论坛 Reddit 和 4Chan 还流出了一张疑似本作的 Logo 的图片。随后外媒 Eurogamer 也透露了本作的存在，但他们并没有从消息来源那里听说游戏的正式标题。

　　《星际火狐：大奖赛》据称是一款外传竞速游戏，有点类似任天堂另两作品《迪迪刚赛车》和《F-Zero》的结合体，但玩法更接近《F-Zero》。本作还有着类似《迪迪刚赛车》的冒险模式，将有 Boss 战和枢纽世界设定。

　　传闻还有后续，外媒 Game Informer 提到 Retro Studios 正在为开发新作焦头烂额，因为 Retro 和任天堂均不满意作品的现状，但编辑 Imran Khan 称他不确定新作是不是就是传闻中的《星际火狐：大奖赛》。 Kotaku 则透露了另外一则流言，称 Retro 除了《星际火狐》外还有另一款游戏正在开发，但开发并不顺利并随时可能被取消。

　　到底这款《星际火狐》外传性质新作是否存在？会不会在今年 E3 亮相？一切都等待任天堂官方正式公布。



Leaks suggest Nintendo's Retro Studios making Star Fox racing spin-off

A round of internet leaks has suggested Nintendo's Retro Studios - developer of the Metroid Prime trilogy - is working on a Star Fox racing spin-off.

The leaks appeared online over the weekend on reddit and 4chan, and were then reported this morning on multiple gaming sites and blogs.

So, what do we believe? Well, as improbable as Retro making a Star Fox racing spin-off may sound, Eurogamer sources have heard similar.

Details posted to reddit by user DasVergeben, who has a patchy record, touted Retro's Star Fox project as a racing game "like Diddy Kong Racing mixed with F-Zero".

"It will have an adventure mode of some kind (think Diddy Kong Racing) and there will be some boss fights and a hub world like it too.

"It is called Star Fox Grand Prix."

While I hadn't heard the name - and don't know if that is accurate or final - other details line up with what I have heard. The Star Fox series is traditionally a space (and sometimes land) based vehicle shooter, although it has dabbled in various other genres before.

Shortly after the reddit post went live, a logo for Star Fox Grand Prix separately appeared on 4chan, that home of reliable video game leaks. Again, I've not heard that name specifically, but the rest of the details line up.

Nintendo declined to comment when contacted.
