Disgaea 7 announced for Switch
Posted on 2 years ago by Nicolas in News, Switch | 0 comments
Nippon Ichi Software has just revealed the latest installment in the Disgaea franchise, Disgaea 7. The game is set to release in Japan early next year on January 26, 2023.
The game is set in the “Hinomoto Netherworld Cluster”, a Japanese-culture inspired world now bereft of honor and Bushido. You take control of a new cast of characters, including the samurai-like demon Fuji and the cheerful Ao as you attempt to restore honor to the land of Hinomoto. Gameplay-wise, the title will expand on the over-the-top gameplay the series is known for, including new features like ranked battles, item reincarnation, or even the ability to become a giant during battles.
Check below for an overview of the game pulled from the official website (translation courtesy of Gematsu) and a trailer for the title.

Initially, Melty Blood: Type Lumina’s latest update featuring new playable characters Neco-Arc and Mash Kyrielight was set to release today, August 19. While this update has gone live for most platforms, it seems something has fallen through for the Switch version.
As announced by the developers, the newest update for Melty Blood: Type Lumina, including both the new characters and balance changes, has been delayed for Switch. The update is still set to release on the platform, but no new date for it has been provided, with the developers assuring that they’ll provide more information once a new schedule is set.
Pokemon Shuffle ending service in March 2023
Posted on 2 years ago by Nicolas in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
According to Serebii, it has just been announced that Pokemon Shuffle, the free-to-play 3DS eShop Pokemon puzzle game, will be ending service on March 31 2023. For the sake of clarity, this is exclusively affecting the 3DS version; no announcements have been made regarding the mobile versions of Pokemon Shuffle.
Even with the game’s online service ending, you’ll still be able to play through Standard Stages and any Event Stages already downloaded. What will be disabled, however, is the ability to acquire daily login bonuses, play Ranked Stages, and download Event Stages.
This news doesn’t come as a huge surprise given prior announcements of the Wii U and 3DS eShops ending purchases on March 27, 2023. If you want to be able to experience Pokemon Shuffle’s Event Stages on 3DS in the future, make sure to download them in the coming months.

Video: Wave Race 64 Switch vs Wii U vs N64 graphics comparison
Posted on 2 years ago by Nicolas in Switch, Videos, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Wave Race 64 has just released for Nintendo Switch Online, and we can now take a look at how this version of the game compares visually to past iterations. In this Gamexplain video, the Switch version is first compared to the N64 original, before then being compared to the more modern Wii U version.
As is expected, the Switch version is certainly an improvement over the more jagged N64 original, and since Wii U ports of N64 games tended to make things a little darker, the Switch brightens it up in comparison to be truer to its initial release.
Here is some more information about Wave Race 64:
Embracer Group to acquire Limited Run Games, rights to Lord of the Rings and Hobbit IP and more
Posted on 2 years ago by Nicolas in News | 0 comments
You might recall that a few months ago, Embracer Group made headlines by acquiring several development studios and IPs previously owned by Square Enix. Well it seems they weren’t done, as they’ve gone on somewhat of a new acquisition spree.
On the gaming side, Embracer Group has announced that they are acquiring Limited Run Games, Singtrix, Tuxedo Labs, Tripwire Interactive, Tatsujin (notable because foreign studios rarely purchase Japanese companies), Bitwave Games, Gioteck and another as-of-yet undisclosed PC/Console gaming company. Additionally, they are also acquiring Middle-earth Enterprises, a company which owns most of rights in the Lord of the Rings universe when it comes to movies, video games, board games, merchandising, theme parks and stage productions.

Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 has a save data-corrupting bug
Posted on 2 years ago by Nicolas in News, Switch | 0 comments
Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 recently released on Switch to pretty positive reception. Unfortunately, a bug capable of corrupting save data has been found in the game.
The bug does seem relatively uncommon at least. For it to trigger, you’d need to delete a save file from the file select screen, then change your settings or language options from the title screen. Then, starting a new game in that deleted slot and either saving manually or auto-saving will corrupt that save slot.
Thankfully, Inti Creates is aware of this issue and is working to resolve it. Here is a statement from them detailing the issue and how to avoid it:
