I think it's just out of respect. Victims probably aren't too interested in learning about new Nintendo games at this point.

R-Type Dimensions announced for Switch in Japan [EDIT: Confirmed for worldwide release]: This is interesting because Hamster announced R-Type for Switch last year, but they've never released it despite bringing out several other Irem games. I'd still like to see R-Type Leo, tho. Also, a trailer for The Ninja Warriors: Once Again, an enhanced port of the SNES game (a la Wild Guns: Reloaded):

Just watched the stream of the NISA/SNK panel at Pax West, and they showed off a bit more of the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection.
The big news is that they will be adding 10 more games to the collection as free DLC after launch. They announced the first five: Sasuke vs. Commander, Fantasy, Joyful Road/Munch Mobile, Time Soldiers, and Chopper I.
They also showed some of the other features, including content in the museum mode, as well as the ability to watch a playthrough of any of the games, with the ability to jump in and take control at any time. (Sounds kinda like the old Super Guide thing Nintendo put into some of their games.)
For SNK Heroines, they showed a silhouette for the next DLC character, and confirmed it would be another crossover character.
I'll post a link to the archived video here when it's available.

Apparently, this game has been picked up for release in Japan by 3goo for Switch and PS4.
Japanese trailer:
The game should be getting close to being finished. This month's Kickstarter update has been delayed until next week. As of the last update, the game was apparently in certification testing, and still on schedule for their internal release date, but they didn't want to announce it until they were absolutely sure they could hit it. Maybe we'll hear something about it next week.

It was only earlier this year that Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana made its way to Nintendo Switch, and already Nihon Falcom are gearing up for the next title in the series. French outlet ActuGaming recently interviewed Nihon Falcom President Toshihiro Kondo, and alongside a variety of other questions about the company's history and games, they closed off their interview with a question directed at any potential readers might be able to look forward to. Kondo then confirmed, per a google translate posted by Twitter user @aboveup, that "Regarding the Ys series, we are working on a new game. It will not be a remake but a brand new title. It will be about Adol and it will be right after the events of Ys VIII. I hope you will look forward to it."

The first DLC character for SNK Heroines has been revealed, and it's a crossover character from a Square Enix franchise that I'm unfamiliar with.
Interesting for two reasons: 1) The trailer flashes "first crossover character" on the screen. 2) Didn't SNK have some legal issues against Square Enix a few years back?
It's also unclear if it's paid or free. (I'll be cynical and assume paid.) EDIT: Confirmed paid.

The latest expansion pass update adds the final two Rare Blades: Elma (from Xenoblade Chronicles X) and Corvin. Both available right now.
And here's a lengthy demo of Torna ~ The Golden Country from Gamescom:
So excited for this!

Yeah, I remember reading about that. That's pretty crazy. As far as I know, it never got that intense on the US side, but I do remember seeing some comments a while back from former Sega of America staff saying they were still bitter over the rivalry with Nintendo from the early '90s. They said it still doesn't feel right to them to see Sonic on a Nintendo console. It really got personal, especially during those US congressional hearings over video game violence. Nintendo and Sega took a lot of cheap shots at each other during that time, with Nintendo touting how family-friendly they were, and former Sega of America president Tom Kalinske responding by pulling out a Super Scope.
And former NoA vice president Howard Lincoln declared that Night Trap would never appear on a Nintendo platform. By the way, it comes out on Switch tomorrow.
