Piko Interactive acquires the rights to O.D.T.: Escape or Die Trying, including unreleased N64 version
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Back in 1998, Psygnosis and FDI released the action-adventure game O.D.T.: Escape or Die Trying. It was also planned for the N64 at one point, but that version never materialized.
More than two decades later, Piko Interactive has announced that it has acquired the rights to O.D.T.: Escape or Die Trying. Interestingly, that also includes the unreleased N64 version.
Piko hasn’t said what exactly it intends to do with the game moving forward. However, restoring the N64 version is certainly one possibility. Last year, the company restored the N64 edition of 40 Winks, a platformer which was cancelled at the last minute for Nintendo’s old console in 1999.
Thanks to Vitas V for the tip.

Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light is celebrating its 30th anniversary today. In honor of the occasion, a treat is now available for Nintendo Switch Online members in Japan.
The Famicom app has updated with a pair of special versions for the game. In the first one, the action picks up right as players are about to trigger a Triangle Attack with Palla, Catria, and Est. The second one begins at the endgame chapter, where Marth must battle Medeus to save the day.
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light never came out in the west, so these bonuses and the game itself aren’t available in North America or Europe. However, if you create a Japanese Nintendo Account and download the Famicom app, you should be able to access them – just without any English.
Unravel 1 rated for Switch

Unravel Two is currently available on Switch via the eShop. The same can’t be said of the series’ first entry, but perhaps that could be changing soon.
Over in Brazil, Unravel 1 was recently rated for Switch. The classification was just added to the official database on April 17. The only slightly confusing part of the rating is that PS4, Xbox One, and PC are also included from this same day despite being available on all three platforms since 2016.
Here’s an overview of Unravel, along with a trailer:
