They just haven’t been revealed yet.

For some time now, there have been concerns about what Nintendo has planned for the Switch in the immediate future. After Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition arrives at the end of this month, there’s Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics in June, followed by some DLC for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Pokémon Sword and Shield.

There’s no need to worry, according to Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa. At the company’s recent investor’s Q&A, he mentioned how the Japanese video game giant had other games planned for this period but said it had become “increasingly difficult” to follow the current schedule due to current restrictions:

Update (Sat 9th May, 2020 06:00 BST): Following the news of Ninjala’s delay, GungHo Online Entertainment’s president and CEO Kazuki Morishita has now released a statement apologising to fans:

Ninjala is near completion, but we are significantly limited in how quickly we can work to test and finalize the game when we cannot be in the same room.

What the?

Epic recently premiered ‘Party Royale‘ in its free-to-play shooter Fortnite. In this “new experimental and evolving” space, there are no weapons or mats – instead it’s all about hanging out with your friends and having fun. There are even “back-to-back-to-back” live sets being played by three famous DJs.

They aren’t the only famous faces that make an appearance, either. In the promotional trailer for this event, the pink puffball Kirby can be seen at the very beginning. Yep, believe it or not, but the iconic Nintendo character appears in a video on an in-game monitor at the one-second mark. Take a look below:

“More information coming soon”.

In March, we heard how this year’s EVO Championship series in North America would be “moving forward” with its plans. Now, like every other gaming event at this point, it’s been cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak.

The announcement was made on the official EVO Twitter account. As previously promised, all arena tickets and hotel room reservations will be refunded. To make up for this, an online event will take its place this summer. More information about this will be revealed soon.

Does it deserve to Monopolise your time?

In a world where Switch owners already have access to both a serviceable version of Monopoly and Pokémon Sword and Shield, do we really need a game that combines the two? For most people, the answer is “probably not”. But that’s got nothing to do with Billion Road’s concept, and everything to do with its execution.

Just like the beloved/loathed Hasbro capitalist fantasy game mentioned above, Billion Road has you taking it in turns with up to three friends or AI bots to trot around a board-shaped approximation of a real-world location (here a cartoony take on Japan), buying up properties, racing to goal squares, swearing at the people you love, and cursing the God of Luck.
