Usurped.
Ahh, victory.
Yes, the latest Japanese charts are in courtesy of Famitsu (thanks, Gematsu) and, as expected, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door has managed to beat the competition to take the top spot with a total of 115,649 copies shifted.

Coming to Switch in 2025.
Developer Badass Mongoose has today revealed a first look at Helix: Descent N Ascent — a gorgeous-looking puzzle adventure that will make its way to Switch in 2025.
This is a non-linear adventure that will see you exploring a long-forgotten world, unlocking skills and abilities along the way — including the power to remove and control your own head, it seems. Sounds a little Hollow Knight-y, no? Well, don’t expect that kind of intensity. It seems that Helix is all about the vibes, with “non-violent gameplay” putting the focus on puzzle-solving and storytelling as you try to work out what happened to the abandoned world.

Coming to Switch this August.
Last month, Bandai Namco unveiled a first look at That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ISEKAI Chronicles, an upcoming RPG based on the popular anime series. The game isn’t set to come our way until 8th August, but to keep us going until then, the publisher has revealed the opening movie in all its animated glory.
If you were wondering how closely the game will stick to its anime source material, we’d wager that this opening movie will give you a hint. Fans of the anime will see more than a few familiar faces here, but the game promises new storylines and characters from author Fuse so there will still be a few surprises along the way.

No other lifeforms, no trading, no help.
Hello Games is preparing to launch the third large No Man’s Sky update of the year, ‘Adrift’. While previous patches have all been about adding more, this one strips things back.
In ‘Adrift,’ the universe has been abandoned. There are no other lifeforms — say goodbye to shopping, trading and shortcuts — and only echoes of a long-gone civilisation remain. Oh, and we should also mention that Sandworm numbers have increased, so be careful when taking a stroll across desert planets.

Become ‘existent’.
Celeste composer and game developer Lena Raine has revealed her latest project ANOTHEREAL, a shmup RPG that combines exploration, puzzle-solving, and tense combat encounters.
Though a Switch release has not been confirmed at the time of writing, we remain hopeful that the eventual Steam release will pave the way for more platform launches (and maybe our enthusiasm will give publisher Radical Dreamland a bit of a nudge!). Similarly, a release date has not yet been set, so we could be in for a bit of a wait.
