The wait for Pikmin 4 was unexpectedly long. When the game was first revealed by Miyamoto in 2015 it was said to be “close to completion” but after this it wouldn’t be until eight years later that we would finally see the game released on Switch.

Now that we’ve all had time to venture out into the world of PNF-404, let’s take a closer look at the latest installment in the Pikmin franchise, what it brings to the series, and what this could mean for the future.

A new update has been announced for Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. Simply titled “Patch 1” this brings a variety of additions to the game, including a new minigame for your Flip Phone, Micro Boy. The usual bug fixes are also included.

Vampire Survivors review

System: Switch
Release date: August 17, 2023
Developer: Poncle
Publisher: Poncle


Every now and then a game will be released that breaks away from the labels that we use to define titles and will become a thing entirely unto itself. Vampire Survivors is one such game, having been met with massive success when it first launched last year. Part rogue-like, part bullet-hell, and entirely self-contained, it has already inspired several other titles that have tried to capture its unique magic. It is magic, I am very pleased to say, that is a perfect fit for the Switch, and a game that is more than worth your time.

Revealed earlier this year, publisher Feardemic have now revealed the release date for 2D psychological adventure horror title Afterdream. The game will arrive on Switch via the eShop next month, on September 28.
