Batman is no stranger to Nintendo platforms, with the Wii U home to conversions of both Arkham City and Arkham Origins. After a short delay, the caped crusader finally arrives on Switch this week in a new collection. Batman: Arkham Trilogy brings together Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and Arkham Knight. No Origins, sadly – which …
Gaming is temporarily on pause this week, with a combination of Thanksgiving and Black Friday presumably being the reason for a lack of big name titles. Things go back to normal next week, with a handful of noticeable new releases due including Batman Akrham Trilogy and a new Dragon Quest Monsters. Until then, there are …
Yesterday’s Indie World Showcase has made a busy week for the Switch even busier, with the backpack organising adventure Backpack Hero and the tactical turn-based folklore Howl both available now, along the art career shaping Passpartout 2: The Lost Artist and the short point ‘n clicker Enjoy the Diner. A demo for the non-linear visual …
Hoo boy. The Switch has been flooded with shovelware over the past week – everything from something called (I kid you not) The great battle of Shark Monkey Squirrel Dinossaur Bird Bee to a low budget racer known as Burnout that has nothing to do with EA whatsoever. It even looks like they’ve snuck a …
Square-Enix is back this week with two new titles on Switch. Their PSone remake of the sci-fi infused role-player Star Ocean the Second Story R features a similar, ravishing, art direction to Octopath Traveller and has a choice of three difficulties, with the lowest said to offer a “relaxing” journey. Reviews are positive so far, …
If you can draw yourself away from Super Mario Bros. Wonder, you’ll find the usual assortment of big name releases, indie gems, annual updates, and retro re-releases on the Switch eShop this week. Konami has just launched their biggest release in quite some time. Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 doesn’t seem to be …
The moons have aligned, creating a once-in-a-lifetime event – new side-scrolling Super Mario Bros. and Sonic the Hedgehog games launching side-by-side. If that wasn’t enough, there are new King Kong, Hot Wheels, and Hellboy games imminent too. Throw Agatha Christie into the mix, and we’re looking at the busiest week for the Switch so far …
If you’re looking for something to tide you over until Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Sonic Superstars arrive next week, you’re in luck – this week’s assortment of eShop titles includes a handful of promising indies and retro re-releases. We can also expect Sabre’s 7v7 arcade-style US football game Wild Card Football, the bespoke Company …
Nintendo begins its winter Switch rollout this week, starting with the 3DS sequel Detective Pikachu Returns. Then, in the coming weeks, we can look forward to Super Mario Bros. Wonder, WarioWare: Move It, and Super Mario RPG. Not the most exciting of line-ups, granted, but enough to satisfy – especially with early hands-on impressions being …
Hoo boy. It’s another busy week for the Switch eShop. Yes, this is something we iterate often – but this week also appears to be a case of quality and quantity, with around half the releases due out worthy of your valuable time and money. Big hitters include the FIFA replacement EA SPORTS FC 24 …
More Switch RPGs, you say? If you can find the time before next week’s new release onslaught, you’re in luck – both NiS America’s HD re-release of The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails and Twin Sails’ conversion of the PC hardcore tactical battler Gloomhaven are on the agenda. The bloody brawler Mortal Kombat 1 is …
The GameCube’s twilight years were a funny old time for Nintendo fans. Nintendo, and the gaming magazines of the era, were trying their hardest to get GC owners interested in the likes of Baten Kaitos, Geist, Odama, and Star Fox Assault – but none of these could match the excitement of earlier system sellers. As …
In a possible bid to prevent Switch owners from missing out on BG3 and Starfield hype, it seems Nintendo has lined up a few RPGs for this week. Or it could just be our imagination. Who knows! Nintendo is giving Fae Farm – from Dauntless developer Phoenix Labs – a reasonably big push, with a …
Peculiarly, it seems that Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3 hype has had a knock-off effect on the Switch eShop. This week is crammed with new releases, with publishers keen to get their new titles out the door before these two juggernauts arrive, while next week is looking quieter than usual. But while the Switch misses …
Gamescom is currently underway, meaning PR folk, developers, and journalists are all busy either showing off their new titles or covering them. Or perhaps stuck at an airport. This appears to have impacted this week’s assortment of new Switch eShop titles, with fewer games than usual. There’s still plenty to mull over though – and …
