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 …
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 …
