Eastward Nintendo Switch Online Game Trial

Nintendo has announced the next Switch Online Game Trial in North America, which will be Eastward. Active members can play the game for free between September 27 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET and October 3 at 11:59 PM PT / October 4 at 2:59 AM ET.

This is the full experience here – nothing has been cut. Additionally, any progress can be used in the full version of the game. Also, simply by trying out the trial, you can earn 100 Platinum Points on My Nintendo.

Another Crusade physical

Another Crusade was confirmed for physical release on Switch when the game itself was announced during the summer, but Limited Run Games didn’t provide details at the time. The company has now followed up with actual information.

Another Crusade will be sold standalone on Switch as well as with a Classic Edition. The latter includes a throwback box, double-sided poster, and soundtrack.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Wolf delisting sale

Warhammer 40,000: Space Wolf will soon be removed from the Switch eShop – and other digital storefronts – so you won’t have much longer to purchase the game. It will be removed on October 11, 2023 in all regions where it’s currently being sold.

The move ultimately comes down to licensing issues. HeroCraft’s agreement is expiring, hence the move to have the game removed. If you do end up buying it by the removal date, it’ll be yours to keep forever.

Hatch Tales release date

It’s been a long time coming, but Hatch Tales finally has a release date. Today, Atooi revealed in a Kickstarter backer update that the game is launching for Switch on March 28, 2024.

Originally known as Chicken Wiggle Workshop, the project was funded by fans over five years ago. It’s an expanded version of the 3DS platformer that lets players create and share levels. After going through a few different release windows, Chicken Wiggle Workshop received a final release date and it’s now six months away.

Vlad Circus: Descend into Madness release date

Publisher Blowfish Studios and developer Indiesruption have come through with a release date for Vlad Circus: Descend into Madness. On Switch, the game launches on October 17, 2023.

Vlad Circus: Descend into Madness, a 2D pixel-art horror adventure title, was announced for Switch about a year ago. It was previously planned for Q1 2023 before being quietly delayed.

Dinobreak

Today, Dead Drops Studios announced that it’s about to release Dinobreak on Switch. The game is launching on October 4, 2023.

Dinobreak is a 90s-era survival horror game inspired by the likes of Dino Crisis and Resident Evil. It features “a gripping story, accessible difficulty options, three interchangeable camera views (fixed, third-person, and first-person), optional two player local co-op play, tons of unlockables, and a bonus arcade mode”.

Sunshine Manor release date

Sunshine Manor, the 8-bit blood-soaked horror RPG from Fossil Games, just received a final release date. It’s been announced that the game is scheduled to launch on October 6, 2023.

Sunshine Manor was announced for Switch in 2020. We haven’t heard much about that version of the game in a couple of years, so it may come as a surprise that it’s releasing so soon.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Booster Course Pass Set

Nintendo has announced the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass Set, which is a new retail release for the game. Fans can pick it up on October 6, 2023.

This is another odd release from Nintendo as it’s not a true physical release. It seems the original Mario Kart 8 Deluxe game is included, but the Booster Course Pass will be a download content. On the bright side, you’ll get a few physical goodies here – namely a set of four pins, set of five art cards (double sided) and set of ten sticker sheets.

Hidden Gems Volume One

Pixel Games has announced its debut Switch release Hidden Gems: Volume One, which will include four classic Commodore 64 games. It will be available tomorrow, September 28.

Hidden Gems: Volume One, developed by Imagine Software, comes with N.O.M.A.D., Gilligan’s Gold, Mutant Monty, and Horace Goes Skiing. The collection also has display filter options (including a 1980s-style CRT filter), save and restore points (up to four), and the ability to rewind up to ten seconds of live gameplay.
