We are approaching the final months of 2021 and the highly anticipated action game from PlatinumGames, Bayonet 3, has still not been seen or heard. The third installment of the series was first revealed by Platinum and Nintendo during the Game Awards in 2017, but since then it has not been featured in any capacity. However, thanks to a new update from the game’s developers, it appears that this lack of information about the project is not the fault of PlatinumGames itself.

In a new conversation with VGC, PlatinumGames director Hideki Kamiya commented on the lingering silence surrounding Bayonet 3. Earlier in the year, Kamiya had mentioned that 2021 could be a year in which the studio could provide fans with a new update on the game. Now, with no news as of yet, Kamiya has continued to point out that fans should just try to forget about the project for now. “If you remember the last time I said that although everyone was asking about Bayonet 3, maybe you should tell everyone to forget about it for a while, “Kamiya said.” I kind of have to keep that position for now because at the end of the day it’s not it’s up to us to decide what to say and when to say it. ”

Kamiya continued on this last point and said that those working on the title at PlatinumGames are very keen to show more of it. However, since Nintendo is the publisher of Bayonet 3, the decision to show more of the title is in their hands. “As much as everyone is clamoring to see it, we’re really, really waiting to release it too. Everyone working on the project is of course very proud of what we’re doing and wants everyone to see what we’re doing.” , he said of the studio’s current work on the title. “As much as the fans expect, we are waiting for the day when we can show it. We want everyone to cheer us on as we run to the home stretch. We want to show it too!”

At this point there is still a chance that we can still see Bayonet 3 before the end of the year. Nintendo usually chooses to host some direct presentation of some sort in the Fall Window, which means that the next time such a live broadcast happens, maybe Bayonet 3 could finally reappear. Until then, however, it might be best to listen to Kamiya and try to forget about the game for now.

So what do you think? Will we end up seeing more of Bayonet 3 before 2021? Let me know what you think in the comments or on Twitter at @ Mooreman12.

Like the Wii and Wii U before it, the Switch Library includes a number of fitness games to help someone work out. Allowed, Ring shaped adventure is probably the title that comes to my mind the most. But there are quite a few options, and another is set to appear in September 2021. XSEED has taken over Home fitness knockout, which appeared in Japan under the name FinC Home Fit. It is closer to Fitness boxing and seems to have its own niche to fill.

Similar to Fitness boxing, Home fitness is a Switch fitness game dedicated to participating in sessions with virtual trainers while holding your Joy-Cons in your fists. Each session involves performing actions in time with your instructor and an energetic cross-country trail. You can do a daily personal training challenge, which lasts about 15 minutes and consists of a stretching phase, a warm-up and a challenge session. You then have the option of doing separate workouts of three to five minutes.

As you might expect, there are different training and customization options. You can choose the types of sessions you want to participate in, both by defining the areas you want to focus on and by browsing the list. So you always choose your area of ​​focus, what you hope to accomplish in this session for those muscles and a period of time for all of that.

When you have a workout in front of you, you can see which song will be playing and the different parts of your body to focus on. So if you have a problem with your knees, you can skip a workout that involves them. (Or, since this is a game that only tracks your arm movements, you can pretend.) Your data is then tracked in the app. There is also an optional password protection element, if you don’t want someone to see things like your weight.

What I have noticed so far after a few days of training is that Home fitness knockout seems like the kind of Switch fitness game focused on manageable workouts. In each of mine, which consisted of a personal workout and at least two 3-minute fitness sessions, it seemed like the kind of thing you organized, did for half an hour, and then go about your day. It’s kind of a very low pressure experiment so far. The exercises I have seen are not very intense, the optional mirror effect makes it easy to tell what to do even if the sound is low and everything is clear and easy to understand.

Certainly my time with Home fitness has been short so far. This is the kind of game that is best judged after playing it for days in a row. You see how you react to the trainers you “meet” and the sessions you “attend”. But right off the bat, it seems like a manageable way to get a little active every day.

Home fitness knockout will come to Nintendo Switch September 28, 2021.

A new Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite game leaked before a Nintendo Direct rumor. According to various rumors from various sources ranging from believable to hogwash, a new Nintendo Direct is happening this month. When this month is the time when many rumors and reports diverge, with some even claiming that this week will be a magical week for Switch and Switch Lite fans, who haven’t marveled at a good Nintendo Direct since the release. E3 in June. Whether any of these rumors are credible remains to be seen, but a new leak not only suggests they are, but could reveal when this Nintendo Direct mystery will occur.

On September 17, Barcelona, ​​Spain-based studio Lince Works will release Aragami 2 via PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. There has been no word on the upcoming game on Nintendo Switch, which is odd as its predecessor has arrived on the platform Nintendo, well after its first release.

That said, amid the aforementioned Nintendo Direct rumor, the IMDA, the Singapore Review Board, rated the game for Nintendo Switch. Of course, this note could be a mistake, but it’s unlikely. The bigger question now is whether the Switch version will be ready for the game’s launch later this month. If so, it will need to be revealed very soon, and if it’s being held that long, you’ll assume it’s for some reason, like perhaps a stealth release from Nintendo Switch, a common occurrence during Nintendo Switch. a Nintendo Direct. Right now that last item is speculation, but connecting the dots doesn’t require much.

It’s not only possible that this memo leaked the Nintendo Switch version of the game, but when the Nintendo Direct rumored will be, that is, on September 17th, or at least the week of September 17th.

At the time of publication, none of the parties involved have touched this rating leak and the speculation it has created with any type of comment or form of acknowledgment. If that changes, we’ll be sure to update the story accordingly. In the meantime, for more information on all things Nintendo Switch, click here.

Entirely new video games for retro hardware are no longer a common phenomenon, but they are certainly happening more and more frequently. In this sense, the developers Rik nicol and Jeremy clarke started a Kickstarter for Good galaxy boy, a new platform adventure game that will be released physically for Game Boy Advance (GBA), in addition to being released digitally on Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam. The game has already far exceeded its fundraising goal, at over $ 40,000 currently raised when it originally asked for over $ 24,000. He is also rapidly approaching an ambitious goal of securing the physical release of Good galaxy boy on Nintendo Switch.

The game has a playable browser demo available now. The full game will feature “tight levels with multiple routes” and secret areas, over 50 characters that have collectible friendship cards, and an upgradable blaster with special abilities.

Now here’s the really weird part: Good galaxy boy because a physical GBA version was only offered at specific and limited Kickstarter levels, and they’re all sold out already. This is, frankly, a little silly, since the GBA version is clearly the main draw. They should have found a friendlier arrangement with their publisher, First Press Games, and it may still be possible. In any case, if you come back Good galaxy boy now you’re watching a digital copy (or potentially a physical boxed copy, pending expansion goals) of the Nintendo Switch version, or grabbing the Steam version or a ROM of the GBA version.

As a point of reference, the Infinite Game Boy Color Kickstarter has already been a huge success, raising over $ 186,000 so far and set to create a whole new set of expandable lenses. Buying a physical copy of this game is expensive, but there is notably no limit on who can buy it.

In October in Japan, Nintendo Switch fitness game Fitness boxing gets an anime adaptation.

Developed by Tokyo-based Imagineer, the game first launched in 2018 and players threw punches and dodged while waving the Joy-Con controllers. Imagineer released the game in Japan under the name Boxing shaped, and Nintendo then released it internationally.

Last September, Imagineer announcement that a million copies of the game had been shipped worldwide.

In December 2020, a sequel titled Boxing Fitness 2: Pace and Exercise released on Nintendo Switch. It also seemed to be doing pretty well.

The Fitness boxing the anime will be abridged, but will air on Tokyo MX. According to the official website, the show will focus on what happens when boxing fitness instructors finish teaching. There is apparently going to be a storyline and all, which will be revealed on the official site at a later date.

The official screens that have come out give us an idea of ​​what to expect, I guess!

The show is written and directed by Jumpei and Morita (sic), who directed the fantastic musical anime Lost song. He has written scripts for television as well as directed dramas and documentaries. And now he’s doing this!

Imagineer and Story Effect will take care of the animation.

The anime will feature well-known vocal talent, some revive their roles in the game, including Akari Kito (Nezuko in Demon slayer), Akira Ishida (Katsura Kotaro in Gintama and Athrun Zala in Gundam seed), and Rie Kugimiya (Alphonse Elric in Fullmetal Alchemist and Kagura in Gintama), among others.

I am interested! I have no hope, but I can’t help but wonder how it happened. It might be good. Maybe not. But damn it, that’s kinda weird, isn’t it?
