• Starting with some gameplay footage of Bravely Default II, the video continues on to show off the four new playable characters players will meet. Seth, the young sailor, Elvis a traveling scholar, a mercenary for hire Adelle and Gloria, a princess of a fallen kingdom, each have their own unique story and quirks. The game releases February 26, 2020 and pre-orders begin today on the Nintendo eShop.
• We got a closer look at the newest Story of Seasons game, Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town. In the game you’ve decided to leave your city life at home to take over your grandfather’s farm in Olive Town. Unfortunately, things are more overgrown than you thought so you’ll have to cultivate the land, tame livestock and bring them home, and work hard to create a thriving farm. Releasing March 23, 2021.
• Next, we got a quick glimpse at Surviving the Aftermath. The game looks similar to the Civilization titles where you must explore certain areas on the map while keeping your friends alive in a post-apocalyptic universe. Set the rules and choose your own path in Spring 2021.
• We got a look at Ubisoft’s Immortals: Fenyx Rising, showing off more gameplay and highlighting how your character can switch between three different weapons – a sword, axe and bow. You’ll also be able to solve puzzles and be rewarded new abilities from the Gods and Goddesses themselves. The game will release December 3rd, 2020 and pre-orders open today.
• Next up was a trailer of Bakugan: Champions of Vestroia, coming to Switch on 3rd November. You can read more about the game in our preview here.
• The deck building rogue-like game Griftlands: Nintendo Switch Edition will have players exploring a gritty sci-fi world in Summer 2021.
• El Presidente is back in Tropico 6, headed to the switch on November 6th. You can pre-order the game today.
• Here’s where things get really interesting. We got to see some gameplay footage for Hitman III on Nintendo Switch. It’ll be available on the console via cloud streaming. No release date for that one just yet, but it’s set to release on other formats in January.
• Also coming to Switch via streaming is Control: Ultimate Version, which is available today.
• Travis Touchdown and a beautiful narrator talked about No More Heroes III. It was also announced that No More Heroes 1and 2 are being ported to the Switch, and they’ll be available later today.
• We got a glimpse at Part Time UFO, available now on the Switch. You play as a robot tasked with helping folks by using your claw to move things around in a particular way. Stack things, go fishing, make dessert and more in this adorable title.
• Finally, we were given a quick look at Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. A demo for the game is available to play today and the full game will release on November 20th.

Bravely Default II looks good, but man those character models. Never been a huge fan of the "big head, tiny feet" style.

Bravely default is easily the best jrpg I've played in 10+ years but the ending left such a sour taste in my mouth i never could bring myself to play bravely 2nd. I have really high hopes for this one though, the battle/job system was amazing

Part Time UFO looks great. I might have to pick that up over the weekend. Not really a fan of BD2 (didn't enjoy the 3DS games even though I still own them).

 

Also the EDF game japan had looks kind of cool (EDF in voxels).

Interesting that the Switch is getting these “Cloud Edition” versions of games. I haven’t tried it, but have a buddy that has and...it actually works pretty decently!?!

 

Not sure how I feel about a game or two that I can’t play *anywhere* on my portable, but it’s interesting nonetheless.
