    I think it was the 'mental' part of the Nintendo fanbase that were hyping things to be honest. I couldn't care less about the announcement, but I don't think Nintendo hyped anything. Some fans were expecting a new Metroid from Wayforward for God's sake :D

    If anything, Nintendo tried to calm people down by saying it was a third party IP, but sure it's the internet

    Сubicity - official Nintendo Switch gameplay trailer
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSxL0ysnUZ4

    https://youtube.com/watch?v=PSxL0ysnUZ4
    Welcome to Cubicity, a beautiful cube-based adventure! Get caught up in this unique world, which has its own rules and laws that must be followed if you want to reach the finish line.

    Select your character — there are more than enough to choose from!

    Gameplay involves solving a wide range of puzzles, with something for everyone! First, you must move your characters into the given formation, then pass a test at the end of each level. Each level gets progressively harder, so you’ll have to keep your skills sharp. There’s only one finish line, and your goal is to get all your characters there, any way you can.

    It’s up to you to decide how to solve these challenges — you have complete freedom! To complete your mission, you’ll have to employ logic and strategic thinking. Each level you complete earns you a new reward!

    It releases on 25th July, is 390MB in size and will cost €5.99.

    But because they said it, it means it's a denial, which means it's really true, which means The Legend of Metroid crossover is imminent!

    They Breathe - Nintendo Switch Trailer
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2Mr4RHfgwk

    https://youtube.com/watch?v=a2Mr4RHfgwk
    They Breathe is coming to Nintendo Switch! Local co-op has been added to the game to celebrate this childhood-dream-coming-true release!

    Developed by The Working Parts, ported and published by our friends at Bulbware!

    The trailer doesn't really give much away, but I like frogs so it's caught my interest. It's not listed on Nintendo's site, so there's no price or release date yet.

    Creaks - Launch Trailer
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgBaf3onLWs

    https://youtube.com/watch?v=YgBaf3onLWs
    The ground starts shaking, light bulbs are breaking - and something rather unusual is happening right behind the walls of your very room. Equipped with nothing but wit and courage, you slowly descend into a world inhabited by avian folk and seemingly deadly furniture monsters.

    From the creators of indie classics Machinarium and Samorost comes Creaks, a new puzzle adventure game that delights the senses with its hand-painted visuals, precise animation, eerie sounds, and an eclectic original score from Hidden Orchestra. Proceed at your own pace at figuring out the solutions to dozens of carefully designed puzzles, explore the mansion for hidden paintings and uncover the great secret.

    Creaks is best enjoyed with a controller and a good pair of headphones.

    This has a really nice visual style. No Nintendo page or exact release date, though it's coming this month. No reviews to gauge it by on other platforms, as it's completely new to them all.

    It starts at midnight. Not sure we're going to get any big games, but you never know. I think best hope for another Mario + Rabbids collaboration.

    Heroes of Hammerwatch - Ultimate Edition Launch Trailer | Nintendo Switch & XBOX One | Out July 2020
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDSRK3XvO5o

    https://youtube.com/watch?v=VDSRK3XvO5o
    Crackshell and BlitWorks announce that fast-paced rogue-lite-action-rpg Heroes of Hammerwatch will release on July 30th on Nintendo Switch and on July 31st on Xbox One (PS4 release will come out soon), in its most complete form, as this Ultimate Edition comes with all the DLCs!

    FEATURES
    -Online Co-Op: Have up to 3 friends to join the dungeon crawling madness.
    -Town upgrades: Revamp 10 different buildings to grant your heroes with various enhancements.
    -9 different classes: Each one with unique stats, abilities and play styles.
    -Over 100 unique items of various rarities.
    -Includes all 3 DLCs: Witch Hunter, Pyramid of Prophecy and Moon Temple.
    -With many additional skills, items, areas to explore, 2 new game modes, 2 new classes and much more!
    -New Game+: Get ready for a real challenge, and even if you beat it, the challenge never ends!

    On a side note:

    Hammerwatch receives Online Co-Op Mode on PS4 and Accessibility Improvements on All Consoles

    The online co-op mode is now available in the PlayStation 4 version of Hammerwatch, allowing up-to 4 friends to jump into the adventure together and enjoy one of the most fun modes of Hammerwatch. Also, we improved the accessibility in the game load menus and added gamepad vibration feature on all consoles.

    Hammerwatch came out on the Switch 3 years ago. It's current price is €9.99, I presume it will remain the same with the additions.

    What on earth is going on with the switch releases? There doesn't seem to be anything in the pipeline after paper Mario?

    We must be due a direct imminently. Surely there'll be 3-5 Nintendo developed titles before the end of the year.

    It almost feels like the barren spell before a new console launch but that doesn't seem in any way likely.

    RUMOR: NOW FANS THINK THEY'VE DISCOVERED AN OFFICIAL F-ZERO TWITTER ACCOUNT
    One more ride for Captain Falcon?

    https://gonintendo.com/stories/365122-rumor-now-fans-think-they-ve-discovered-an-official-f-zero-twitt

    https://www.resetera.com/threads/an-f-zero-twitter-account-might-have-just-been-found-email-trick-works-account-created-back-in-march.249417/

    https://twitter.com/FZeroJP

    I did ask myself why bring the voice actor for Captain Falcon back after all these years just for some slurping in Min Min's Super Smash Bros Ultimate reveal trailer? Why Captain Falcon? It wouldn't be the first time that it has offered a clue to an upcoming new game.

    One can hope that there's a new F-Zero game coming. But salt. Lots of salt!

    It'd be nice to have a new F-Zero, but the biggest issue is, how do you make an F-Zero game for Switch that doesn't feel like reskinned Fast RMX?

    Crysis Remastered - Nintendo Switch Tech Trailer
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4n8tTlr-iM

    https://youtube.com/watch?v=H4n8tTlr-iM
    Crysis Remastered is making its debut on Nintendo Switch with high-quality textures, global illumination (SVOGI), vegetation bending, optimized dynamic light settings, dynamic resolution, gyro aiming, motion blur, bloom (light rays and sunbeams) and much more.

    In the video, take a look of what these features look like in Crysis running on Nintendo Switch!

    It runs at 720p and 30FPS(presumably while docked only). I'd expect the resolution to be lower in handheld mode. It also features sharks. That's it for now.

    Wonder what they've done to make it 'Deluxe', as it looks like a direct port.
    I never actually finished it, but it's a superb game!

    And hope this is just a precursor to an announcement on Pikmin 4, which was reportedly almost finished years ago!!!
