Tiny Metal returns to the European Switch eShop
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Earlier in the month, Tiny Metal went missing on the European Switch eShop. It has since been restored.
According to Area 35, Tiny Metal was temporarily taken down due to a mistake with the rating. We speculated that this was the reason for its removal, as we’ve seen something similar happen with a couple of other games.

The Long Reach is a title we heard about for Switch last year. Although it missed its original target window, we now have a release date. Merge Games and Painted Black Games have announced that The Long Reach will be available on March 14.
The Long Reach is an adventure game, but also “a thrilling horror story, flavored with sci-fi ideology, psychological context and a sceptical view on the human psyche.” We have more information and a trailer below.

More details about Lost Sphear’s day one update
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 3 Comments
Lost Sphear finally made its debut in North America and Europe this week. The launch was accompanied by a day one update. Square Enix didn’t really go into the specifics, only stating that it provides “new equipment and artefacts, a new dungeon, the new Moonlight Battleground mode and much more.” Thankfully, the Japanese website has more information.
For Moonlight Battleground, a new NPC “Transcender of Reason” shows up on the Fading Hill after you’ve cleared the game. Speak with him to be able to have rematches against previous bosses. Their strength levels will be adjusted to the player’s levels, so they will offer challenging battles.
