Nintendo Switch Isn’t the ‘Ideal’ Platform for Yakuza Games, Says Dev
Yakuza series producer, Daisuke Sato, says the Nintendo Switch is not the "ideal" platform to develop Yakuza games on.
Sato has said that while he might consider releasing the Yakuza games for the Xbox One, the Switch isn't looking likely, and it's partially down to the console's user base.
In an interview with gameblog.fr (per Gematsu's translation), Sato said that he's not convinced Nintendo's console is the right platform on which to develop Yakuza, because "maybe people don’t expect this kind of game on Switch."

Fortnite Season 5 Patch Notes Reveal Desert Biome, New Vehicle
Epic has released the official patch notes for Fortnite's big Season 5 update just as downtime goes into effect.
The map is indeed getting an update with a new desert biome, although it's not yet clear if this covers the entire map or just a portion. Paradise Palms and Lazy Links are the two latest named locations to join the map.
A new vehicle named the All Terrain Kart (ATK) is being added and will fit your entire squad. Rear passengers can lean back and release at the same time to help leap over jumps and obstacles. The roof of the new vehicle acts as a bounce pad.
Shotguns now indicate the number of pellets hit within the reticle. The Heavy Shotgun can now fire 10 pellets instead of five, and players who fire a shotgun won't be able to to switch to a second shotgun for "a very short time."
16 Things We Learned on the Set of The Happytime Murders
Last October, just when Southern California was putting out their Halloween decorations and preparing for spooky mayhem, Santa Clarita Studios was experiencing another type of darkness — The Happytime Murders. I went with a group of journalists to the set where we got the chance to speak to some of the cast, crew, and puppets.
On a day almost exactly halfway through production, we visited the Henson puppet shop on set, watched a pivotal (and spoiler-filled) scene from the finale of the film being shot, and chatted with stars Melissa McCarthy, Maya Rudolph, and Elizabeth Banks in addition to producer Ben Falcone and director Brian Henson about the unique experience of creating a film that stars both humans and puppets.
