This should look familiar to a lot of you.

Following the previously announced Splatoon 2 and Smash Bros World Championships on Saturday, June 8 (kickoff at 2 p.m. EDT/11 a.m. PDT), there will be a Nintendo Direct airing at the traditional noon EDT/9 a.m. PDT start time. According to... Read more...

Or as we call it, Matt Walker's Devil May Cry.

A fine Revenge of the Fifth to you all.

So are the veeps in charge yet at large at THQ Nordic yet?

Nope, which is why I won't be buying Saints Row The Third this week. It's a shame, I'd really love to support what should have been the GB GotY for 2011, but not until all of the executives who don't know how to use Google get sacked.

What does that open the door for, then?

Golden Week held up the confirmation. (UPDATED)

UPDATE MAY 7: Nintendo has confirmed the games below will come to the lineup on May 15. Original story follows.

It looks as though May's NES lineup for the Switch Online app will feature plenty of climbing and riding.

Although no video confirmation for the second Wednesday in May has been revealed, Vooks found a listing on Nintendo of America's page for the NES list which includes under Upcoming Games:

Yeah, that's really a human helping you. Sure.

Team17 has announced a publishing agreement for a game that combines cooking and machine learning.

Automachef, developed by Hermes Interactive, will be released under the Team17 banner this summer for Switch. The goal of Automachef is to set up machines to make perfect meals without human intervention, taking into account limited resources, fire, and preventing infestation.

Well, I *am* the leading man after all.

I'M CAPTAIN BASCH FON ROSENBERG OF DALMASCA! DON'T BELIEVE ONDORE'S LIES!

Look, I get you're pumped for FFXII Zodiac this week, but I... kind of made some bad choices about twelve years ago that mean you're telling them to ignore *me*.

My bad. Picking anything else up this week?

I'll save... Read more...

The E3 show will probably look familiar.

Following the release of the fiscal year's financial results earlier today, Nintendo held their quarterly investor meeting today.

Among the items in the presentation (slides available here (PDF link):

That's one Switch printing money gif for Furukawa.

After weeks of stock-boosting rumors, Nintendo has confirmed their intent to enter the Chinese market in full.

A one sentence statement was posted to their investor relations webpage, which reads: "Nintendo Co., Ltd. is announcing that a collaboration is in progress with Tencent Holdings Limited (HQ: Shenzhen, China; Chairman of the Board and CEO: Ma Huateng) to release the Nintendo Switch video game system in China."

Now the rest of us can blow up robots in space with a giant sword.

It won’t be long until North America and Europe will be able to enjoy classic Japanese anime mech-combat on the Switch with the upcoming release of Project Nimbus: Complete Edition. The game that features three factions fighting for the fate of a future Earth using giant robot suits will include the original story plus new modes not previously made available outside of Japan.

And it has a limited edition, if you're into that sort of thing.

The tail end of September will see a hard boiled detective story hit the Switch via Microids.

Blacksad: Under the Skin, an adventure game based on a comic of the same name, will release on Switch September 26. Set in 1950s New York City, players will take the role of detective John Blacksad and will have freedom to solve the city's mysteries in their own way.

"You'll never see it coming" indeed.

A Persona 5 RPG is coming to Switch, but from a wholly unexpected source.

Atlus has revealed Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers at a Persona concert in Tokyo. No release window or time of more information was given, but the game is developed in collaboration with Koei Tecmo's Omega Force studio and is a musou.

This'll need several Brinks trucks to carry.

Nintendo has released their earnings for the 2018 fiscal year (April 1, 2018 -> March 31, 2019) at the close of business today in Japan. This report includes figures for the 4th fiscal quarter (January 1 -> March 31) as well.

All monetary figures reported in yen, with comparisons to the US dollar based on a market rate of $1 = ¥111.812 provided for comparison only.

If you're in the US or Japan and have an Android device, holla.

Nintendo is now taking applications for a mobile beta.

Mario Kart Tour has opened up applications for a closed beta test on the game's website, with signups open until 10:59 p.m. Eastern time on May 7. The beta itself is scheduled to be active from May 22 - June 4.

Participants must be in the United States or Japan, and have an Android device. "Certain devices" will not be supported.

Some of this has a cost.

Ubisoft have revealed the details for this month's Starlink: Battle for Atlas including the date and - for Switch owners only - the cost.

All of the new content will be available April 30. The "Crimson Moon" update will add a racing mode, the "Crimson Coliseum" combat arena, new outlaws to round up, and new cosmetics. This update will be free.

...yes, we see what they did there.

There will be plenty of time for reflection next year, and some of it will happen on Switch.

Triple-I Games, a partnership of former BioWare, ArenaNet, Amazon, and Sucker Punch developers, have announced an action/adventure game called Hindsight 20/20 for release in the first half of 2020. Set in the pacifistic town of Champaner, players will have to ward off invasion either with a stun baton or a killer blade.

Commence your plans for how to use the 3D World pipes now.

Super Mario Maker 2's June release will sneak in just under the wire.

A Nintendo of America tweet has confirmed the game for a June 28 release in North America. No word has been given for other territories as of yet.

Let’s-a go! Let your imagination run wild... Read more...

I wanted to use this part to crow about slaying a dragon, but the Leafs blew it (as usual, sorry David).

Hey, you're late again.

Blame multiple failed attempts at dragon slaying. Speaking of, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen is one of the week's headliners, and I reviewed that already. There's also SteamWorld Quest (of which Jordan has a review), the ridiculously large Mortal Kombat 11, Boxboy X Boxgirl... it's a huge week.

The rights for this one ought to be a blast.

The crossover of farming and anime cats was stunning enough when it was announced in February, but now it's being localized.

Bandai Namco will be publishing Doraemon Story of Seasons on Switch this fall. The Marvelous/Bandai Namco collaboration was originally announced in the Japanese version of February's Nintendo Direct for a June release there.

Which is more shocking?

May 7 just got a jolt of retro action and high-speed puzzling.

Sega struck first for May 7 with the release of Puyo Puyo Champions, a localized version of the recently releases Puyo Puyo eSports in Japan. The competitive version of Sega's nearly 30 year old puzzle franchise will release for US$9.99 or equivalent.

Sounds like something you'd want to make Mario with.

The oft-rumored first revision of the Switch may be hitting very soon.

In a preview story ahead of Nintendo's annual financial results scheduled for Thursday, Bloomberg sources indicated that a "new, cheaper version" of the Switch would launch shortly according to two cited anonymous sources. One source later specified a June target for this revision, with a second, "modest" upgrade to the existing model coming later in the year.
