The Shape of Things

Hyper Three Studios is putting The Shape of Things on Switch next month, the company has announced. The title is slated for August 31, 2023.

The Shape of Things is a cozy puzzler with a relaxing atmosphere in which players look to solve 3D puzzles inside collectable gachapons by discovering the original shape of objects. The mechanics are inspired by the classic Rubik’s cube puzzler originally invented in 1974 by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Erno Rubik.

Hyper Meteor

Vertex Pop – the studio behind Graceful Explosion Machine and Super Crush KO – is bringing its latest game Hyper Meteor to Switch.

This one first debuted on Playdate, but is coming to Nintendo’s console with new features. Vertex Pop pixel-perfect ported the shooter to the system. The game will have four game modes, local co-op, over 25 palettes, an all-new soundtrack, and more.

Telenet Shooting Collection physical

Telenet Shooting Collection has now been confirmed for release in the west.

The package, which features Granada, Avenger, Gaiares, and Psychic Storm was previously announced for Switch in Japan. However, Limited Run Games has now revealed that it will be available for fans waiting for an English localization, and there’ll be a physical released overseas.

EA Sports FC 24 is coming to Switch, and this seems to be the first notable soccer (or football) game from EA on Nintendo’s console in years.

For those that haven’t been keeping up with things, this is essentially the company’s yearly FIFA release. EA Sports and FIFA weren’t able to keep their agreement going, so it’ll be a slightly different take compared to what fans are used to seeing.
