Slather on suncream, charge up the Switch, and head outside – another bunch of anticipated and intriguing new eShop releases are lined up for this week. From Shovel Knight creators Yacht Club Games comes the Game Boy Color era inspired Mina the Hollower, originally planned for late last year. The delay has unquestionably paid off, …
So, there we were, ready to discuss LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight’s positive critical reception, only to be hit with the sudden realisation that, unbelievably, it isn’t hitting the Switch 2 this week. The LEGO franchise has always performed well on Nintendo platforms, even sticking with the Wii U throughout its much-maligned life, …
The Switch eShop is home to releases great and small this week, from Indiana Jones and the Great Circle to Smalland: Survive the Wilds. Machine Games’ whip crackin’ first-person adventure Indiana Jones and the Great Circle reportedly performs well on Switch 2, even in handheld mode. The Metacritic score currently sits at 84%, on par …
If you believe music is good for the soul, the Switch eShop has two soulful new releases ‘of note’ to consider this week. Mixtape for Switch 2 comes from Annapurna Interactive and sees three teenagers spending one final night together, reliving their past through memories. While partying one last time, you’ll get to listen to …
The weather is heating up, close to reaching ice cream in the shade temperatures, but over on the Switch eShop we’re seemingly still stuck in winter. That’s not to say we aren’t in for a few hot new releases, though. Curiously timed is Moomintroll: Winter’s Warmth, a cosy playful experience that sees Moominvalley transformed by snow. …
The Switch gains a bunch of RPGs this week. Even if you closely follow gaming news, we imagine at least a couple of these come as a surprise. Kingdom’s Return: Time-Eating Fruit and the Ancient Monster, from Inti Creates, involves collecting resources in side-scrolling stages and then using them to restore a kingdom, with this …
After what feels like aeons, a new first-party Switch release is finally upon us. We are, of course, referring to the original Switch – Nintendo’s attention has been turned to their latest console mostly this year. Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is a brand-new game too, and not a re-release or HD conversion. We really …
The economy is rougher than sandpaper, so it can only be good news to see two free-to-play releases hit the Switch this week. Of course, they aren’t entirely free – Pokémon Champions has a paid battle pass and a subscription service, while the colourful RPG The New Denpa Men uses paid-for ‘Jewels’ to speed up …
The kids are off school, and the long Easter weekend is almost upon us. The Switch eShop provides a solution for restlessness and entertainment, with several anticipated new releases due. Nintendo would probably quite like you to watch The Super Mario Galaxy Movie before firing up the Switch and cracking open a chocolate egg or …
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is just days away. While it would have been great to see a new 3D (or even 2D) Super Mario game on Switch 2 to coincide, we’re instead being treated to the Meetup in Bellabel Park expansion for the excellent Super Mario Bros. Wonder. It’s available as a £16.99 upgrade or …
The Switch 2 sees a flurry of new releases this week, some of which haven’t gained much traction in the press. So, let’s change that, at least by a modicum. Coming from leftfield are the colourful light-gun party package BANG! BANG! BANDITS, top-down roguelite Royal Revolt Survivors, the surreal open-world RPG Dread Delusion – which …
The Switch eShop is in almost perfect harmony this week, offering a pleasing mixture of anticipated big-name titles, intriguing indies, retro gems, and a sprinkling of oddities. Not too hectic, not too calm either. The dust hasn’t had a chance to settle on Resident Evil Requiem and yet Capcom are back with Monster Hunter Stories …
Nintendo’s latest Indie World presentation has made a busy week busier, adding Switch 2 releases of the award winning puzzler Blue Prince, the co-op beast batter Rotwood, and the Zelda inspired top-down bullet hell shooter Minishoot’ Adventures to the roster. Defying expectations somewhat, the Omega Force developed Pokémon Pokopia for Switch 2 – a social …
Nintendo, Capcom and Bethesda, amongst others, must be hoping Switch owners have plenty of disposable income after paying off February’s bills, as it’s a corker of a week for new releases. From Capcom comes not just Resident Evil Requiem for Switch 2 but also Resident Evil 7 biohazard Gold Edition and Resident Evil Village Gold …
Nintendo systems, try as they might, have never been renowned for racing games, lacking a major franchise to compete with Forza and Gran Turismo. This may soon change, with the Switch 2’s extra horsepower able to do the genre justice. We’ve already seen GRID: Legends on Nintendo’s latest, and this week sees two other established …
