Third time’s the charm? Perhaps not for Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, which hit it out of the gate first time on Wii in 2010. This week’s HD iteration marks its third release, and while reviews have been positive – mostly being a mixture of 8s and 7s, resulting in a 77% Metacritic – some …
Two remasters are on the agenda this week, followed by another two next week – Donkey Kong Country Returns HD and Tales of Graces f Remastered. Thankfully there are games somewhat fresher on the horizon too. It also helps that some of these remasters are titles that have never graced a Nintendo platform before. Obviously …
Let us fill you in if you’re wondering how the Switch eShop is fairing during the void between Christmas and New Year’s Day. On Monday a grand total of sixteen new releases hit the eShop, and from the looks of things only 2-3 appear to be of any worth – one of which is a …
The only thing worse than an avalanche of ice and snow is an avalanche of shovelware on the Switch eShop. Brace yourselves – we’re in for a rough time. A really peculiar mixture of limp-looking military shooters, near identical shop simulators, cheap-to-produce hidden object games…and something called Airbourne Grannies. We haven’t seen this much AI …
We were expecting eastasiasoft’s RPG Tokyo Clanpool this week, but Nintendo had other ideas, blocking its release due to suggestive themes. It may need to be censored to make it through Nintendo’s refreshed certification process, which is reportedly stricter than before. If you’re curious, the GOG PC release is still going ahead. This has definitely …
This week could very well be the last major one of 2024 for new Switch releases, with the remaining releases of the year sporadically placed. There are a few games of note next week, including RPG Tokyo Clanpool, and…a new Star Trek game due on Christmas Day. As we said, the release schedule is rather …
Nintendo’s on the pre-emptive, launching Fitness Boxing 3: Your Personal Trainer weeks before the nation has gorged on turkey and mince pies. This Imagineer developed series has crossed paths with Fist of the North Star and Hatsune Miku in the past, but this entry is more strait-laced, featuring six fully-voiced personal trainers and thirty instrumental songs …
The Switch eShop is swarming with AI-encrusted shovelware this week, more so than usual. With Christmas inching closer it’s likely only going to get worse, with shady publishers looking to make a quick buck. It definitely makes our job harder when trying to pick out games of note. There is quite a bit to get …
Considering the incredible popularity of The Sims, it is surprising that EA hasn’t tried to cram The Sims 4, or even The Sims 3, onto the Switch. This week provides a little something for long-time fans – MySims: Cozy Bundle brings together the Wii hits MySims and MySims Kingdom. This series was a slight departure, …
This week sees more of this winter’s big name releases on Switch. It has fallen onto Sony, of all companies, to make a quieter-than-usual season slightly less quiet. Allegedly Sony and LEGO agreed that putting LEGO Horizon Adventures – a light hearted retelling of Horizon Zero Dawn – on Switch made a lot of sense …
It seems not a single publisher was worried about the newest Call of Duty potentially harming sales, with several big-name titles launching the same week as Black Ops 6. Even more amusing, then, to see that few publishers deem themselves worthy to go up against the Switch’s big winter title Mario & Luigi: Brothership, with …
Nintendo’s big winter release, Mario & Luigi: Brothership, is barely a week away. If you’re looking for something to play in the meantime, this week’s assortment of new Switch eShop releases has you covered. Just in time for Halloween, there’s the reasonably priced (£19.99) Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered, which includes new skins and …
It’s an exceedingly busy week for the Switch eShop, with several time-consuming RPGs and long-lasting adventures available – most of which originate from Japan. There’s another noticeable pattern to this week’s licensed games, with Care Bears: To The Rescue, Barbie Project Friendship, and Miraculous: Paris Under Siege seemingly appealing to the same audience. The Smurfs …
Before Mario & Luigi: Brothership arrives at the start of November, we have a party to attend first. Reviews of the greatly expanded Super Mario Party Jamboree went live a few days ago and were generally full of praise, even gaining a 9/10 from a handful of outlets such as The Metro and God is …
The Switch misses out on Atlus’ acclaimed Metaphor: ReFantazio this week – which is likely being primed for the Switch 2 instead – but fans of the RPG genre aren’t left entirely hanging, with a couple of new arrivals to consider. True to its name, NIS America’s RPG MAKER WITH features many tools and tutorials …
