ClusterPuck 99 slated for Switch next week
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Update (3/22): ClusterPuck 99 is also confirmed for March 29 in the west, as expected.
Original (3/21): ClusterPuck 99 was announced for Switch last year. The title now has a release date, as the Japanese eShop indicates it’ll be available on March 29. Pre-orders are live in the region as well.
ClusterPuck 99 is a lightning-paced 8-player sports game. 8-player local multiplayer, instant replays and puck customization, a single-player challenge mode, over 30 maps from the original release plus “Switch exclusives”, and an arena creator will be included.
Note that the March 29 release date only applies to Japan. English and other languages are supported though, and we’d be very surprised if we don’t see ClusterPuck 99 in the west on the same day.

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Update (3/22): Gotcha Racing 2nd is now confirmed for March 29 in North America as well.
Original (3/21): Gotcha Racing 2nd was recently outed by a rating from Taiwan. A listing has since appeared on the Japanese eShop, confirming a Japanese release date of March 29. We also have first details.
The general premise is that Gotcha Racing 2nd is a racing game with a birds-eye view where players use machines customized with parts obtained from rolling gacha. There are around 700 types of parts appearing here. Prize money can be used to roll the gacha and customize your machine to be even more powerful. Surplus parts can also be compounded to strengthen your machine, so you can make your own original machine.
