Nintendo releases new Super Mario Odyssey wallpaper, game rumored to have at least seven kingdoms
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Images, News, Switch | 14 Comments
Nintendo prepared its latest Japanese tweet for Super Mario Odyssey. The company published two images, both of which are primarily intended to be used as wallpaper for smartphones.
Here’s where things get interesting. The pink moon shown in the wallpaper is a different color than the yellow moons we’ve seen in the Cascade Kingdom, suggesting that the Cheep Cheep one is separate. So based on that, we’d have at least seven kingdoms in Super Mario Odyssey.
They would be:
– Metro Kingdom
– Sand Kingdom
– Wooded Kingdom
– Luncheon Kingdom
– Cascade Kingdom
– Cap Kingdom
– Cheep Cheep Kingdom
We’re going off of the assumption that the Cascade Kingdom is separate from the areas we’ve seen with the Cheep Cheeps. That’s not absolutely confirmed, but it does make sense based on the moons.

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Masquerada: Songs and Shadows made its debut last year. The tactical RPG is now setting its sights on Switch, Witching Hour Studios has revealed.
Here’s a brief overview of Witching Hour Studios:
Masquerada is a single-player tactical RPG set in a Renaissance-inspired city of magic, where real-time combat can be paused to set up elemental combos powered by Venetian-styled masks. Come for gorgeous hand-drawn art; stay for the rich lore & a thoughtful, fully-voiced tale of intrigue & tragedy.
And a trailer:
Ysbryd Games will publish Masquerada: Songs and Shadows on Switch in Q4 2017.
German retailer CoolShop is listing 88 Heroes for Switch – (blurry) boxart included. A similar listing has also popped up on Amazon France with a tentative September 29 release date.
88 Heroes was created by Bitmap Bureau and published by Rising Star Games earlier this year. It’s “a chaotic 2D platformer that is as fun to watch as it is to play, where each level completed or untimely death brings a new uniquely skilled hero into the action.” You’ll have only 88 minutes to complete all 88 levels.
Additional details and a trailer for 88 Heroes are below.
