Octopath Traveler 0 review

System: Switch 2
Release date: December 4, 2025
Developer: Square Enix, DOKIDOKI GROOVE WORKS
Publisher: Square Enix

The original Octopath Traveler was a milestone game, not only as the first major exclusive JRPG for Nintendo Switch, but also for the genre as a whole. It simultaneously reinvigorated a love in turn-based combat for many lapsed RPG fans, while also creating a visual style that has not only been wildly successful for Square Enix, but for imitators across other major studios and indie publishers. Octopath Traveler spawned not only a sequel title, but other games using the HD-2D style, including – critically for today’s discussion – Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent.

June 2024: Tomba 2 is on the way to Switch, Limited Run Games has announced. A release window was not provided.

Mario Kart World 1.4.0 update

Mario Kart World has just received a brand new update with version 1.4.0.

There’s a lot that’s included here, including support for Custom Items in item rules. Some track layouts have been also been changed in Vs. Races and “Race” in online/wireless play.

The full rundown is as follows:

Bloomberg published a new report today delving into issues Yacht Club Games has faced in recent years, and also claims that the studio had been working on a 3D Shovel Knight which it still hopes to release at some point.

There’s a lot covered in the article, but Bloomberg says the company “is facing an existential struggle.” It notes that Yacht Club “has churned through most of its capital, forcing it to downsize and put a planned second project on hold so everyone can focus on Mina the Hollower.” Employees are burnt out and the game’s delay is further impacting finances.

Mega Lucario Z

Mega Lucario Z will be appearing in the brand new Mega Dimension DLC for Pokemon Legends: Z-A, it’s been revealed.

According to The Pokemon Company, “Mega Lucario Z was determined to be a Mega Evolution based on how its form changes through exposure to a Mega Stone and its increase in power far outshining that of an average Lucario.” It features long fur around the head and waist along with a fan-shaped tail. Since this makes it difficult to get a full view of Mega Lucario Z’s powerful movements, in close combat, it can visually disorient opponents. Additionally, places on its body such as the hands and shins have been hardened with steel energy.

System: Switch 2 / Switch
Release date: December 1, 2025
Developer: Tribute Games
Publisher: Dotemu

Dotemu and Tribute Games have assembled once again to deliver a brand new beat ’em up, this time around delivering a unique Marvel super heroes beat ’em up game that takes you from the streets of NYC to Asgard and beyond. With the two sides hot off the heels of their well received 2022 title TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge, many fans including myself were very excited to see what they could cook up with the vast Marvel library to pull from. The gameplay in TMNT was widely praised for how smooth the movesets for each character was and how good the control felt, which is key for a beat ’em up game. With a strong IP like Marvel to create a story around, what did the team come up with?
