Rumors about the Switch successor have been flooding in after Nintendo officially revealed that it will be announced this fiscal year. Midori, a prominent leaker who has connections to SEGA/Atlus and has shared accurate information in the past, is now saying that she has heard that Nintendo’s next system has the codename “Ounce.”
As you may recall, Midori previously shared that Nintendo has a project in development with the codename “U-King-O.” The codename for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was “U-King,” meaning that U-King-O is likely a port of the award-winning game for the Switch successor. Exactly what the “O” stands for has been up for debate, but we now know it could potentially be Ounce. Nintendo likes to add another dash and letter to codenames when they work on ports, so this is a very probable turn of events.
It sounds like the rumor from last week of the codename being “Muji” may have already been debunked. Midori believes that the codename Ounce may have been decided on because “Nintendo was able to put stronger hardware into a portable device that is still not too heavy to use,” although this is strictly her speculation.
Additionally, Midori has heard that Nintendo has been using the names ‘Switch 2’ or ‘New Switch’ when referring to the new hardware to developers such as SEGA and Atlus. However, it’s unlikely that either of these will be the final name of the system.
Warframe has been updated to Ver. 35.6 (Nightwave) on Nintendo Switch. You can see the patch notes for this update below.
NIGHTWAVE: NORA’S MIX VOL. 6
Seize the day with Nora’s Mix Vol. 6! Complete Nightwave Acts to unlock new rewards, including new Weapon Augment Mods, Daybreak Cosmetics and more.
Like previous editions of Nightwave, we will include duplicate protection for rewards you have already unlocked. Identical to Nora’s Mix Vol. 5, Tenno can expect to be compensated with Nora’s Mix Vol. 6 Creds instead of the previous unlocked reward.
A finalized release date for Core Keeper has been announced. The survival simulation game from publisher Fireshine Games and developer Pugstorm will be available for Switch digitally for via the Nintendo eShop on August 27th, 2024. Check out a brand new trailer for the upcoming game above and more details below!
Core Keeper Will Be Launching Into 1.0 and on Console on August 27, 2024!
Our 1.0 launch will feature a MAJOR update with new content, features, and quality of life improvements. Without spoiling too much, you can expect all kinds of excitement, including new and unique ways to play and ways to customise your game. We don’t know about you, but everything suddenly feels very real right now!
Tell Us More About What’s Coming in 1.0!
You’ve probably noticed that we’ve been a little secretive when it comes to revealing 1.0 content, and that’s because we’ve got something cool coming up. In true teaser fashion, we can’t reveal what this is yet, but we can let you know that we’ll be bringing you a much closer look at what’s coming in 1.0 soon. You’ll have to hang on until then, Explorers, but we promise it’ll be worth the wait.
Summer Update Details
Those of you following our roadmap will recall that we’ve got one last update coming before we launch in 1.0. Our Summer Update was originally positioned as a minor update, which usually means a little bit of new content to play with. After a lot of careful consideration—and, of course, taking a good long look at community feedback—we wanted to work on what matters to you, so we’ve decided to reformat this update slightly.
We’ll still be releasing our Summer update, but this will now focus on performance and bug fixes to ensure the game is in as enjoyable a state as possible ahead of its full launch. That isn’t to say that we won’t continue to work on optimisations between the Summer Update and 1.0, just that we have heard your comments and feedback across all of our channels and we agree that we should be making playability a priority right now.
Oh, and don’t worry, the new playable content that we had planned for the Summer update hasn’t been scrapped; this is now coming with our 1.0 launch so you can experience it at its best.
That’s everything from us for now, Explorers! We’re beyond excited to finally be able to begin our 1.0 countdown. Keep an eye out for more news, information, and announcements from us here on Steam, over in the official Core Keeper community Discord, and on X!
