The Switch eShop is quieter than usual this week, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing considering Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Disney Epic Mickey and EA SPORTS FC 25 launched just days ago. SWORD ART ONLINE Fractured Daydream is the week’s biggest release and by some margin. This Bandai Namco published co-op action battler celebrates …
Just like in the cinematic marvel Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Disney and Looney Tunes characters come together for this week’s Switch eShop round-up. THQ Nordic are behind Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, which sees the 2010 Wii platformer overhauled with improved visuals, modern controls, and other enhancements. Reviews have been positive so far, being a mixture …
Devolver Digital’s The Plucky Squire has been anticipated since its reveal, with its novel (ahem) premise of cartoony characters leaping from storybook pages into the real world rousing imaginations. Reviews went live earlier this week, and it seems to have been worth the wait, even gaining top marks from a handful of sites. God is …
Although not far off from being full price, it’s doubtful many gamers will feel taken for a ride with MARVEL vs. CAPCOM Fighting Collection. That license renewal likely didn’t come cheap, either. This beat’em up package includes seven titles from the late ‘90s and early noughties, including the frequently requested fan favourite Marvel Vs. Capcom …
Next week looks incredibly busy for the Switch with over a dozen notable new releases due. This week isn’t looking too bad either, especially if you have a penchant for all things retro. Monday saw the release of BAKERU, Spike Chunsoft’s spiritual successor to Konami’s 3D Goeman games. Developed by Good-Feel (Yoshi’s Crafted World/Princess Peach: …
Tuesday’s Nintendo Direct has made a busy week for the Switch even busier, with a handful of games launching during the presentation. Specifically, Castlevania: Dominus Collection – which brings together three DS Castlevania entries, along with the arcade game Haunted Castle – farmyard sandbox Goat Simulator 3, and the hit Wario-inspired frantic platformer Pizza Tower. …
Last week two bird-filled sandbox adventures were on the agenda. This week, it’s witches. Mika and the Witch’s Mountain entails delivering packages to townspeople on a small island, with scope for exploration as you whizz around on a broom. Visually, it appears to take inspiration from Zelda: The Wind Waker. Tales from Toyotoki: Arrival of the …
Bird is the word on the Switch eShop this week. From the creators of Rain On Your Parade comes Just Crow Things – a similar sandbox offering playful tomfoolery, only this time you’re in control of a pesky crow. It’s up against The Godfeather: A Mafia Pigeon Saga, a roguelike in which a lowly pigeon must …
Talk about perfectly timed. Natsu-Mon: 20th Century Summer Kid is, as the name brazenly suggests, set during the hot summer months. Published by Spike Chunsoft, you play as the son of a circus ringmaster and spend your days exploring the town where the circus currently resides, talking to townsfolk, fishing, bug catching, and watching the …
Presumably due to the kids being off school, the Switch eShop is cluttered with shovelware this week. Not just shoddy looking mobile conversions, but a bunch of adventure style games with trashy AI generated art. One of these is even trying to pass itself off as an official Disney tie-in. Madness. There is at least …
What we initially believed was a quiet week for the eShop has somehow turned out to be busier than anticipated. I think we can be forgiven for thinking F1 Manager 2024 was skipping Switch though. There’s even another first-party title on the agenda. The New Denpa Men doesn’t appear to be classed as a banner …
The Switch misses out on a fair few of this week’s big releases, yet it’s still a busy week for the system with a handful of exclusives of its own. There’s even a first-party release on the agenda. Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition is a new version of NES Remix, only loosely based on the …
There’s a distinct theme to this week’s assortment of new Switch releases – the vast majority originate from Japan. We’re in for a heady mixture of anime tie-ins, RPGs, visual novels, beat’em ups, and even a drifting-focused racer set on Japanese mountain roads. There’s Bandai Namco’s Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown Deluxe Edition too; something …
Although it’s one of the more subdued weeks for new Switch eShop releases, it’s still leaps and bounds over the dry weeks we had to endure during the Wii U’s reign, with a handful of notable new releases upon us. Only a few, mind. There’s a new RPG on the agenda, in the form of …
Evidently, it’s hoped that holiday goers and travellers will be packing their trusty Switch into their hand luggage, as it’s a curiously busy week for everyone’s favourite handheld hybrid. Nintendo continues its monthly first-party drop with the Tantalus-developed 3DS remaster Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD. While reviews are mostly positive (the Metacritic currently sits at 78%) …
