We now have a timeframe.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has its latest release window.

During today's Nintendo Direct, it was announced that the platformer will be coming to the Nintendo Switch this summer. A new trailer has also been released showcasing gameplay:

Originally scheduled for a 2017 release, Bloodstained has been pushed back a number of times, most recently into 2019. Development at one point moved from the Wii U to the Switch.

My schedule will be filled by Square-Enix titles for the foreseeable future.

Announced in the Nintendo Direct is new Square-Enix RPG, Oninaki. Players will take on the role of Kagachi, a Watcher whose job it is to search for lost souls before they manifest into a monster. Kagachi will be able to cross between worlds, entering the realms of the living and dead as he pleases. Oninaki comes to Switch this summer with no solid date confirmed.

Just what I needed!

Turns out the "bye bye" was just to the 3DS.

Boxboy is back, and Boxgirl will be with him.
