Nintendo Switch 2 microSD Express Cards Rise 2,000 Yen at Nintendo Store

The Nintendo-licensed microSD Express Card 256GB for Nintendo Switch 2, sold by SanDisk and Samsung, has been quietly raised in price at the Nintendo Store and other retailers. The cards, previously priced at 6,980 yen including tax, now sell for 8,980 yen, a 2,000 yen increase. The price revision was applied on August 17 or 18, depending on the source, and no official announcement from Nintendo or the manufacturers has been confirmed.

This follows a May price increase for the Nintendo Switch 2 console itself, which rose from 49,980 yen to 59,980 yen.

Xbox CEO Says She Saw Elder Scrolls VI Gameplay, Hints at Subtitle

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma said on August 12 that she watched a live playthrough of The Elder Scrolls VI during a visit to Bethesda Game Studios. In a post on X, Sharma praised the game's scale and grandeur as "incredible" and said the story is "even greater," while keeping the subtitle hidden behind eight asterisks. Bethesda Game Studios replied to her post, thanking her for the visit and kind words. The post suggests the game's subtitle is eight English letters long, prompting speculation among fans on forums like Reddit about what the title could be, with some guessing it might be "High Rock," a region in the Elder Scrolls world. The Elder Scrolls VI was announced in 2018 with a teaser trailer, and no further details have been released since. In June 2026, Xbox Chief Content Officer Matt Booty said in an interview that he saw the game running next to director Todd Howard and praised its quality.

Bethesda Says Layoffs Won't Affect The Elder Scrolls VI Development

Bethesda Game Studios has stated that recent large-scale layoffs will not affect the development roadmap for The Elder Scrolls VI. The company responded to questions from YouTuber MrMattyPlays in a video published July 23. When asked whether the layoffs would delay the game, Bethesda asserted that the roadmap will not be affected. The studio also commented on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, which is set to release on Nintendo Switch 2 on August 12. Bethesda said the development team is currently focused on the Switch 2 release but intends to reflect optimizations gained from that version onto console and PC versions. The release date for The Elder Scrolls VI remains undecided. The layoffs, part of broader cuts in Microsoft's Xbox division, drew criticism after reports that Bethesda informed affected employees they would receive only the legally minimum severance without union negotiation. A Canadian employee reportedly received a termination notice with a different explanation than initially given.

Bethesda Union Files Legal Action Over Minimum Severance for Laid-Off Workers

Bethesda Game Studios' labor union, OneBGS, announced on its official Bluesky account that it has taken legal action against the studio over severance terms given to laid-off employees. The layoffs, affecting dozens of workers in Canada who worked on the Fallout and The Elder Scrolls series, were first communicated via video call on July 6, 2026, with employment initially set to continue until September while the union and company discussed severance.

Affected workers also lost group benefits at that point. OneBGS stated that this response violates Canadian labor law and that it has initiated legal proceedings. The union commented that while Xbox and Bethesda generate large profits from their workforce, workers are being discarded, and it aims to end the cycle where employees bear the cost of management's decisions.

MGSD Wing Gundam Zero EW Gets Structural Coating Black Version

Bandai Spirits is releasing a special edition of the MGSD Wing Gundam Zero from Mobile Suit Gundam W: Endless Waltz, featuring a new manufacturing technique called Structural Coating. The kit, named MGSD Wing Gundam Zero EW [Structural Coating/Black], changes all outer armor to black and gray molded colors. Internal parts use Structural Coating, a process that creates iridescent colors visible through gaps in the dark armor, similar to the surface of soap bubbles or CDs. The effect varies by viewing angle, and no two kits will have the same finish due to the processing. The wings have a five-layer structure with individual articulation, and when deployed, they expose internal structural coating plating and clear parts with reflection-cut processing. The kit includes a shield, twin buster rifle, and beam saber, and can transform into Neo Bird mode via part replacement. Pre-orders open on Premium Bandai on July 24, 2026, at 12:00 JST. The price is 12,100 yen (tax included), with shipment scheduled for November 2026.
