Blade Chimera slashes onto Nintendo Switch Jan. 16. Pre-orders are available now on Nintendo eShop. (Graphic: Business Wire)

Pre-orders:

• Blade Chimera – You are Shin, a demon hunter with no memory of his past. After striking an unusual partnership with Lux – a demon with the ability to shapeshift into a sword and manipulate time – you begin a quest to learn what happened to you and your loved ones. This blade not only cuts down foes but can also interfere with time itself, restoring once-destroyed stairs, bridges and platforms to reach new areas. Can you master the Lumina Sword’s powers? Blade Chimera slashes onto the Nintendo Switch system Jan. 16. Pre-orders are available now on Nintendo eShop.

Nintendo Music:

• The Treble With Kongs – The Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong’s Double Trouble soundtrack has spun its way onto Nintendo Music, the smart-device app for Nintendo soundtracks*! Listen to the musical fanfare from Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong’s adventure on the Super NES, and while you’re at it why not cue up the soundtracks for Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest, too? Nintendo Music is exclusively for Nintendo Switch Online members. For more info, visit: https://www.nintendo.com/us/switch/online/nintendo-switch-online/nintendo-music/.
