The wait for 2064: Read Only Memories INTEGRAL on Switch has been a really long one. The game was slated for release quite some time ago, and then got pulled due to issues with an employee at the company. Then recently, we saw the game resurface with a new release date of July 26th, 2018. We thought all was good, but now things are looking bad again. Both the Switch eShop and Nintendo.com listing have completely disappeared with no rhyme or reason. Hopefully things get cleared up soon.

As you know, Octopath Traveler is really hard to find in Japan when it comes to retail copies. There are a handful of used copies out there, and as you can see, the asking price is nearly that of a new retail copy. These are getting snatched up quite quickly, so expect the situation to stay the same for at least a few weeks.

Bethesda has come forward a few times now to talk about the Switch and their planned support for the system. Now Peter Hines, Bethesda’s Senior vice-president of PR and marketing, has shared a statement once again about their support for the platform.

I think it’s an incredible console. I brought mine with me, so it’s something we obviously want to continue to support with whatever we’re doing as long as it fits well in Switch.
Back with the Wii U and 3DS, games in Saudi Arabia usually came with packaging from North America or Europe. It seems that's changing with the Switch, as many games are coming out now with localized covers for Saudi Arabia.
