Timberman heading to Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 3 Comments
Timberman is on the way to Switch, Forever Entertainment has announced. The old-school arcade-style game will be on Switch in early 2018.
Timberman has players chopping wood and avoiding branches. While the concept may seem simple, it’s apparently difficult to master. The game has four variable environments, many Timbermen to unlock, and leaderboards. The game will support local multiplayer on Switch.

Inti Creates and PQube shared more on Gal*Gun 2 this week. We learned that the game is launching in Japan on March 15, with the western release set for Spring 2018.

PQube has also handled the release of its games in North America, so we should have stateside pre-order links soon as well.
In other news, PQube has updated its Gal*Gun 2 website for official details about the game’s features, story, and characters. We have all of the information below.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has plenty of audio options
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 23 Comments
Audio shouldn’t be an issue when playing through Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Those with early access to the game have confirmed that Monolith Soft has included a plethora of volume options. Players can modify the volume for cut-scene voices, game background music, game sound effects, game voices, battle narration, environment volume, and system volume.
It’s worth pointing out these options since the audio in Xenoblade Chronicles X was a common complaint. The Wii U RPG didn’t offer much in the way of tuning volume to your liking. This was an issue throughout the game. As one example, music during cut-scenes sometimes made it difficult to hear what characters were saying.

Shortly after Sonic Forces launched, dataminers found that the game had “Sanic” T-shirt content hidden away. It has now officially arrived as free DLC.
Head on over to the Sonic Forces eShop page, and you should quickly see that the DLC can be downloaded. SEGA says that the T-shirts, available for your custom character, feature “beautifully rendered art, and virtual threads organically grown on the snowing peaks of Mt. Fuji many years ago.” At least they’re having fun with it, right?

Constructor Plus will have a bunch of new content when it finally launches on Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
The wait for Constructor Plus has been a long one. System3 has announced release windows a few different times, only for the game to be continuously delayed. So what’s going on?
We do at least know that the development team has been very proactive. When Constructor Plus finally hits Switch, it will have a bunch of additional content. The game will have 100 new buildings (up from 44), a new intro, new levels, skyscrapers, and improved gameplay.
We can expect to see the new Constructor Plus news channel Switch in mid-December. A digital pre-order will also go live on the eShop with a trailer. It shouldn’t be too much longer after this that Constructor Plus finally comes to Switch.
