Are any actual ActRaiser alums involved.  I mean, game makers making a game they made but with a different company has a lot of precedent (Bloodstained)

[Pak-Man]

They're pulling in Yuzo Koshiro, the original composer, to do the theme song. Other than that it looks like a bunch of Actraiser fans decided to finally do what Enix hasn't done for 30 years. (I don't count Actraiser 2. I need that city-building!)

The Nintendo Switch Lite is officially happening. https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/07/nintendo_switch_lite_officially_revealed_launches_this_september

$200, comes in yellow, turquoise, and grey, but they keep showing yellow for some reason. Doesn't dock to your TV, Joycons are integrated and don't detach, but you can still sync separate Joycons and controllers for motion games and awkward multiplayer sessions.

And it comes in Pokémon!

I'm interested in getting it as a supplement to take with me while I travel, but I'm curious whether Nintendo's going to let me put my digital library on a second system.

as with the rest of twitter, i'm very disappointed that they didn't call it the light switch.

the Pokemon version tempts me so hard. Like take it with me to work or school, leave the main boi at the house, or take it with me on trips, but idk. The draw of the Switch is that it's both home and handheld. I dont see how taking the "Switch" ability out of it is optimal.

Granted, YELLOW ONE. Yellow is my favorite color. I got a Fire 8 instead of the others because it came in Yellow

So Luigi's Mansion 3 drops October 31st, which is probably the most fitting day it could drop.

As soon as I read that, I let out an audible “YES!!!” I’m real happy there’s a street date!

Now with character demonstrations...

This isn't really "news", but just last night I got a Castlevania collection that includes Symphony of the Night and Rondo of Blood. Anyway one of the trophies is actually called "You're tearing me apart Lisa!". I was in stitches for quite a while.
