Shantae and the Seven Sirens
WayForward have announced that Shantae 5 is now known as Shantae and the Seven Sirens. We also got some more details about the game itself, including the list of key features, and some screenshots:
Formerly referred to as Shantae 5, Shantae and the Seven Sirens sends the belly-dancing, hair-whipping, half-genie hero to a tropical island where Shantae and her friends encounter other Half-Genie allies, but they soon learn there’s trouble in paradise. As Shantae gets caught up in the island’s sinister secrets, she’ll use all-new dance abilities and instant-transformation Fusion Magic to explore the nonlinear, interconnected world where she’ll visit multiple towns, overcome treacherous labyrinths, and battle dastardly bosses. The game also features a new collectible card system that grants players the freedom to augment Shantae’s powers to suit their own style of play.
- Explore an interconnected world using new Fusion Magic creature transformations, including a newt and other aquatic forms!
- All-new characters and returning favorites like Rottytops, Sky, Bolo, and the nefarious Risky Boots!
- Collect and power up with monster cards!
- Enjoy minigames, acquire magic and items, and uncover secrets!
- Gorgeously animated TV-style cutscenes!
More details about the game, including the release date and pricing, will be shared at a later date.

Rock of Ages 3: Make & Break
Modus Games have announced yet another game for the Nintendo Switch: Rock of Ages 3: Make & Break. Developed by Ace Team and Giant Monkey Robot, it offers a unique mix of tower defense strategy and bursts of arcade action. It will be released in early 2020 in Europe and North America.
Here’s a trailer and some details:
A brilliant blend of tower defense strategy and bursts of arcade action, Rock of Ages 3: Make & Break sees opponents rolling massive boulders toward each other’s castles while building defenses to protect their own. For the first time in the smash hit series, commanders can now design their own stages through an intuitive in-game level editor and share them with the community. With nearly limitless possibilities for original works along with local head-to-head and online four-player multiplayer support, Rock of Ages 3: Make & Break provides an avalanche of fun for creators and players alike.
Rock of Ages 3: Make & Break is infused with a Monty Python-esque style of humor, making for unpredictable and hilarious moments. The game’s story mode plows through inventive reinterpretations of history with cameos from key figures like Caesar and Moctezuma, but don’t be too surprised when larger-than-life presences like Krampus or the Flying Spaghetti Monster show up as well.
Rock of Ages 3: Make & Break switches its chaotic mix of fun up with over 20 selectable stones to roll across six game modes; whether its focusing on defense in the against-all-odds rush of Boulder Avalanche or honing gracefulness in the unforgiving Humpty-Dumpty Mode, there’s a mountain of content awaiting players.
Rock of Ages 3: Make & Break (Switch – eShop) comes out in early 2020 in Europe and North America. The Upcoming Games page has been updated!

Nintendo have shared a couple of quick guides for Fire Emblem: Three Houses, for those of you who need some help with two of the elements of the game:
Unfortunately, those guides are fairly basic (for example, the Recruiting Guide does not list the level the values need to be), but they’re pretty handy if you want quick access to the data found in them!
