It’s an RPG heavy week for the Switch eShop with several time consuming, world saving, adventures due. It’s either the case that publishers were oblivious to one another’s plans, or that the genre is so popular nowadays that there’s the belief all will find an audience. Nihon Falcom’s remake Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter …
The Switch eShop is a ‘cat eat cat world’ this week, with Garfield Kart 2 – All You Can Drift and Bubsy in: The Purrfect Collection going head-to-head. Garfield Kart 2 – All You Can Drift comes from Eden Games, creators of the surprisingly good Smurf Kart and the Gear.Club Unlimited series. Eight players can compete …
It’s another busy week for the Switch eShop, with a handful of Switch 2 titles arriving. The next Switch 2 release isn’t until EA Sports FC 26 on 19th Sept, followed by Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac a week later, so it’s a good job there’s plenty to play until then. After being curiously absent at …
News of SEGA rebooting several dormant franchises sent fans into a tizzy in late 2023. Even though screenshots and footage were shown, the first of these announcements has taken two years to materialise. That game being Shinobi: Art of Vengeance, developed by Lizardcube – the team behind Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap and Streets of Rage …
The Switch 2 misses out on new releases this week. That’s set to soon change though, with both STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar and the expanded version of Kirby and the Forgotten Land out next week. There’s plenty of new games imminent on the original Switch too, even though this week is a tad quieter …
Nintendo is readying their newest Switch 2 exclusive, Drag x Drive (pronounced Drag and Drive, apparently), launching Thursday at a low price point of £16.99. It’s a futuristic take on 3v3 wheelchair basketball that uses the Switch 2’s mouse functions to wheel around the neon-hued courts. A few different mini-games feature, including a shooting contents …
Curiously timed, the Switch gains two retro light-gun revivals this week. If that wasn’t enough, a couple of very eccentric sounding Japanese horror games are also due. Forever are behind SEGA’s zombie slaying sequel THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2: Remake, priced £22.49 and featuring modern visuals, a choice of classic or remastered music, a …
A Nintendo Direct is due tomorrow and it seems reasonable to suggest that at least one new Switch 2 title will ‘shadow drop’ during the show. Call of Duty: Warzone, Hi-Fi Rush or a native version of LEGO Harry Potter Collection are our best guesses. The Switch 2 is in for a bit of action …
It’s the busiest week for the Switch 2 since launch, with four new games due. In a year from now this amount will seem laughable, but as time machines are yet to exist, here we are. The timing is however questionable as Donkey Kong Banaza doubtlessly has Switch 2 owners entranced. 2023’s Wild Hearts gains …
Reviews of Donkey Kong Bananza have come out swinging. This lavish looking Switch 2 exclusive has arrived to universal acclaim, even gaining top marks (10/10) from IGN and a few other outlets. Some critics did however note that it plays it a little safe, resulting in a handful of 8/10 and 4/5 review scores knocking …
If you’re thinking of taking the Switch on holiday or are perhaps looking to beat the heat by sitting in the shade, then this week’s eShop line-up has you covered. By which we mean there are plenty of new releases to get stuck into. It’s particularly pleasing to see Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + …
The Switch (and Switch 2) are well and truly taking us back to the past this week, with many new releases being either retro compilations or modern retro-style games. From ININ there’s Irem Collection Volume 3, which brings together the 2D arcade scrolling shooters Mr. Heli/Battle Chopper, Mystic Riders and Dragon Breed with optional rapid-fire …
All aboard the Switch eShop express. Our destinations include Tamagotchi Plaza, Boxville and the Riverside. Oh, and where ever Locomoto takes us – hence the train references. The drip-feed of Switch 2 releases continues this week with Bandai Namco’s Tamagotchi Plaza. Part of the Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop series, it’s a collection of mini-games based …
Last week didn’t have much to offer Switch owners. This week couldn’t be any more different, with around a dozen noteworthy titles due. This includes the first post-launch Switch 2 game, in the form of SEGA/Atlus’ RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army. Reviews of this 1930’s set supernatural RPG, originally released late into …
It’s one of the quietest weeks in Switch eShop history, with less than a dozen games due. We can only assume publishers believe Nintendo diehards are caught up in Switch 2 hype. First-person horror Y. Village – The Visitors is amongst the handful of games due, taking place in a mysterious village and featuring FMV …
