Games being the key word.

The newest title from the makers of the DJ Max games is going back to the portable realm.

The Switch will be adding some more rhythm to its lineup this fall.

Superbeat Xonic will release for the Switch in October. First released in October 2015 for the PlayStation Vita, Xonic is developed by Nurijoy, who previously created the DJ Max series.

In addition to the over 60 tracks in the game by default, the Switch version will offer seven additional tracks for free as a download on release day.

Along with a couple of dates for 3DS RPGs

Nintendo of America has announced a refreshed bundle for the smaller 2DS, along with a couple of localization release dates.

The smaller, flatter 2DS will relaunch on August 25, for the same MSRP of US$79.99. This version will be red with a white front and will have a copy of New Super Mario Bros 2 preinstalled.

With thanks to the slimes.

Although no platforms were officially named, Dragon Quest XI will be releasing outside of Japan next year.

In a video message celebrating the game's launch in Japan, the Western subtitle ("Echoes of an Elusive Age") was announced along with the news that the game will release in the West in 2018. The screenshots appear to be from the console version of the game.

Our long international nightmare is over.

The theory that everything got out of the way of Splatoon 2 last week is definitely confirmed by this week's Switch lineup, which runs another six games deep. And there's a lot of multiplayer fun to be had with Namco Museum (including Pac-Man Vs. for the platonic ideal of Gamecube->GBA connectivity)... Read more...

The rupees are strong with this one.

The close of the Japanese business day at midnight Pacific time / 3 a.m. Eastern saw the release of Nintendo's first quarter fiscal results for the year ending March 31, 2018. The results cover the period from April 1 - June 30.

Some larger Switch releases have received release dates in recent days:

The question everyone has about Nintendo's new fighting game will be answered next month.

The NPD Group released their sales survey for June 2017 today, featuring a strong midfield performance for Switch games.

In the hardware race, the Switch lagged slightly behind the PlayStation 4 in the survey due to a combination of supply constraints and a golden US$250 PS4 model. The software... Read more...

It's the inevitable return of the kid and squid dichotomy.

In terms of number of games, it's a light week (prior to Europe's PR, Japan has the lead with seven games just on Switch). But like was speculated the last couple of weeks, they had quantity to get away from Splatoon 2. Possibly the biggest game to hit Switch since day 1 and Breath of the Wild, I would wish good luck to anyone trying to buy a Switch this week. Especially in Japan.

The latest major sports title to hit the platform.

The Switch's sporty September will include a late call up from baseball as well.

R.B.I. Baseball 2017 has been announced for a September 5 release on the Switch at a $29.99 MSRP. Officially published by Major League Baseball, the simulation title is only related to the NES and Super NES baseball series by their name.

Now with support for Bayonetta... Amiibo.

Support for the last Smash Amiibo releasing this week has necessitated an update to the two last Super Smash Bros games.

Both Super Smash Bros for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U have been updated to version 1.1.7 as of tonight. The updates are necessary to add support for the six new Smash Bros series Amiibo that will release Friday (two versions each of Bayonetta, Corrin and Cloud).

Can't use it quite yet, though.

The Nintendo Switch Online application can be downloaded now, though it is currently in a maintenance mode until Splatoon 2 launches.

Android and iOS stores in the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan and Europe have all confirmed the app's availability. Launching the app right after its release showed the server "under maintenance" with a 2816-0700 error code.

The dead cat bounce update.

The Wii U has become a little bit more stable.

A new system software is now available for Nintendo's previous console, version 5.5.2U. The first system software update for the system since January 11 of last year, the update notes are simply "Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience".

Who has the force of LAW on their side?

The exhibition Splatfests have wrapped ahead of Splatoon 2's release, and coming with the new game is a new scoring system. Popularity, solo battles and team battles are compared, with the winner of two of the three claiming the victory.

That's a lot of Switch games again.

For the second week in a row, a full hand of Switch games are hitting the shop. Perry reviewed Death Squared for us, while David L picked up I and Me out of its European release last week. There's also the odd looking De Mambo, and a puzzle game that bears a more-than-striking resemblance to Threes.

And a new goal to strive for.

A new update for ARMS has added a new character, mode and top rank among other changes.

Version 2.0 adds final boss Max Brass to the playable roster, as announced at the end of Nintendo's Treehouse Live presentation at E3. A new Versus mode has also been added called Headlok Scramble, as well as the ability to reach level 20 in Ranked play and view records of play on the main menu.

A 50 hour game, but it's 20 if you remove the charging of attacks.

Bandai Namco will unleash the dragon on Switch this fall.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 has been announced for release on September 22 in North America and Europe. The Switch version will offer a six-player local option as well as optional motion controls for throwing Kamehameha at opponents.

Finally, you can have a Brock Lesnar match last more than six minutes.

Cool your jets: Rime is not officially delayed to winter

RiME, according to publisher Grey Box, does not have any official release date at the time.

The Switch game, which came out on other platforms in May, was most recently slated for a summer 2017 release on the system. On Nintendo's official site, its release date changed to "Winter 2017".

It was more than a refresher.
