It’s the Switch 2 receiving the bulk of big name releases this week. The original Switch isn’t entirely forgotten, though, gaining a surprise release of THQ Nordic’s Sacred 2 Remaster – which has a modern UI, refined combat, and every expansion. While this may sound promising, critics didn’t think much of last year’s PS5/Xbox Series …
With Elden Ring, The Duskbloods, Lords of the Fallen II, and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty on the horizon, the Switch 2 is about to become a second home for Souls-likes. Kickstarting this trend is this week’s Lies of P: Complete Edition, which is going down well with critics, reportidly boasting smooth performance. Hopefully they aren’t …
If you’re a Xenoblade fan, no doubt 30th July will already be marked on your calendar. The physical release of Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition is due out today, while Xenoblade Chronicles 2 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition launches digitally on the eShop. You’ll have to wait until 1st October for a physical release of that. …
Since appearing on the Wii U in 2015, Splatoon has become an important franchise for Nintendo. It’s no surprise to find it gaining the spin-off treatment, which is something arguably more appealing than Nintendo going through the motions to release Splatoon 4 instead. Helping to shake up the formula, the Switch 2’s Splatoon Raiders is …
The Nintendo eShop sees a slew of intriguing and enticing new titles this week. Nothing strange about that. What is curious, though, is that the vast majority are for both the Switch and Switch 2, making this a rare week where nobody is left behind…a couple of releases aside. One of these is Denshattack – …
It’s a rather RPG-centric week for new releases, and that’s despite Echoes of Aincrad skipping Switch 2 at launch. Knowing Bandai Namco, it’ll appear on the system within the next year. A good example of the publisher’s tardiness is Digimon Story Time Stranger, which this week hits both the Switch and Switch 2 after debuting …
For a second week running, we’re being treated to a new first-party release from Nintendo. While this may seem peculiarly timed, Rhythm Paradise Groove (Rhythm Heaven Groove in the US) is for the original Switch, and aimed at a different demographic than last week’s Star Fox. A slightly different demographic, at least. This is the …
You’d think a combination of the World Cup, the scorching summer heat, and a big-name Switch 2 release from Nintendo themselves would result in a quieter-than-usual week for the eShop. If anything, though, the opposite has occurred – it’s a blistering week for new releases, especially if you’re a Switch 2 owner. That major new …
Square Enix are about to liven up a somewhat muted month with their latest HD-2D RPG. The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales sees the titular hero set out to finish a 1,000-year-old quest after the world becomes overrun with beasts. Reviews are positive, including 9/10 from The Sixth Axis and an 8/10 from Nintendo …
We should have known a Nintendo Direct was planned for this week. A telling sign is that the Switch eShop line-up looks slimmer than usual, ready for shadow drops. It’s always the way. Consequently, available now on Switch are Rise of the Tomb Raider and SnowRunner, courtesy of Aspyr and Sabre, respectively. Rise of the …
The Switch 2 gains the majority of big new releases found on the eShop this week, with just a couple of note for the original Switch. In fact, the Switch is in for way more shovelware than usual, making our job of rounding up the latest releases of interest all the easier. Sorry if you …
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 …
