Wolfenstein: Youngblood no longer listed for Switch at GameStop
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Wolfenstein: Youngblood is one of the new games Bethesda announced at E3 last week. The company didn’t share many details in the end though, and technically hasn’t confirmed platforms. But GameStop did end up taking pre-orders for a Switch version following the reveal.
Fast forward a few days later, and that listing is nowhere to be seen. It’s not a good sign, but no confirmations have been made either way.
The one concerning thing we’ll mention here is that we noticed how Bethesda’s UK department has provided tentative boxarts for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Switch did not have a similar packaging image. Again, it’s still not a confirmation, but it’s looking a bit less likely that Wolfenstein: Youngblood will end up on Switch. We’ll keep an eye on things either way.

Daemon X Machina producer on the game’s visual style, soundtrack extends to the sound effects
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Daemon X Machina, a new Switch game unveiled during last week’s Nintendo Direct, might be one of the most visually striking titles we’ve seen on the system as of late. According to producer Kenichiro Tsukuda, the style was chosen to help make the title stand out.
Tsukuda told Polygon:
“Games these days have a lot of the same color palette, and I just personally wasn’t very happy with it. The colors that you see are chosen specifically for each of the orders and missions that you go on, based on how we want you to feel when you’re playing.”
Daemon X Machina isn’t just unique for its visuals. Tsukuda said that the metal soundtrack extends into the sound effects.
“Shooting a gun sounds like a drum and there’s a laser blade that actually uses the sound of a guitar. So when you’re playing with a group of Arsenals, I was hoping to create a game that kind of felt like you were like having a jam session.”
