Nintendo Boulevard #11

Welcome to another instalment of Nintendo Boulevard, time flies when you are having fun!

Last week was a rather busy one, with the first weekend of the ARMS Testpunch, the release of Ultra Street Fighter 2 and several new announcements including the release date of 15 august for Sonic Mania!

Firstly, let us start with the public secret of the Mario x Rabbids game, the one we all knew about, some actual information appeared to have leaked, revealing gameplay, the title being Kingdom Battle and well, some very amusing artwork! I would love for all these rumours to be true, really looking forward to playing this!

Secondly, what a week to be alive, official confirmation that the Switch is getting Monster Hunter XX as well as the all-in-one package for Dragon Quest and that awesome looking Nights of Azure 2, while for now only confirmed for a Japanese release, I sincerely aspire to play them in English!

The Arms testpunch had its first weekend, mostly dominated by players chosing Ninjara and apparently Min Min came in second! I personally loved playing with Helix, a crazy character…

Tokyo RPG Factory officially announced a new RPG coming to Switch, Lost Sphear will land on the Switch in Early 2018, a promotion video showed a very similar style to I am Setsuna, which is not unusual seeing Tokyo RPG factory is the same developer for both games.

On Wii U, we saw the release of unique game #201 worldwide, namely Darksiders, the Warmastered version. I ordered mine and hope it will arrive soon!

On mobile, we got the release of the official Magikarp game, are you playing it?

And finally, Netflix announced a Castlevania animation series, one of many amazing newsbits we got the past week!
