Skullgirls 2nd Encore
Last week, it was announced that Skullgirls 2nd Encore will be released on the Nintendo Switch “soon”. Even better: the game will also be available both at retail and on the Nintendo eShop!
Here’s the debut trailer:
Skullgirls is a fast-paced 2D fighting game that puts players in control of fierce warriors in an extraordinary Dark Deco world. It’s a modern take on classic arcade fighters with a high-definition, hand-drawn twist! With fourteen colorful characters, a beautifully illustrated story mode, in-depth tutorials, and innovative game systems, Skullgirls has something for everyone, from fighting game newcomers to hardcore fans. It’s a one-of-a-kind, action-packed game, complete with awesome combos and an intriguing story!

Work x Work
Today, FuRyu has announced that their upcoming RPG on Nintendo Switch, Work x Work, has been delayed. Instead of September 27th, as initially announced, it will now release on October 4th. The press release doesn’t even mention a specific reason, and only mentions vague “various circumstances”. No doubt FuRyu found the original release date a bit too crowded to its liking…

The developers at Playtonic have been pretty quiet in the past couple of months, but today, they broke their silence to share one, lone screenshot of the “64-Bit” Tonic for Yooka-Laylee (one of the Kickstarter stretchgoals):
Right now, the team is working on various things, including more additional content and the dev commentary series.
