Broforce Forever update

Broforce originally debuted in 2015, but next month, it’ll be getting a huge “Broforce Forever” update. It will be available on August 8, 2023.

The update provides “an improved and expanded campaign with new unlocks, along with six new ultra-patriotic bros, four new democracy-spreading challenge levels, and the ultimate expression of military might – bug fixes.”

Here’s a rundown on everything that’s new:

Orbital Bullet physical

Super Rare Games is working on a physical release for Orbital Bullet on Switch, the company announced today.

3,000 copies will be made in total. Each unit includes the game on a physical cartridge, a full-color manual, an exclusive sticker, and trading cards.

Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes delayed

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes has been delayed, and will not be launching this year as was previously planned.

In a Kickstarter post, the team explained that the move was put in place “to deliver a game that so many fans have supported”. Further added, “The decision was made in order to ensure the best possible story, and to reward the legion of backers with the best game experience possible.”

Front Mission 2 features

Forever Entertainment just put out the latest trailer for Front Mission 2: Remake showcasing the game’s features.

The title promises an engaging storyline, strategic turn-based combat, Wanzer customization, modernized battle scenes, free camera options, modern in-game effects, a renewed soundtrack, and nine languages localization.

Picross future

Jupiter has supported Nintendo platforms with multiple Picross games, and it sounds like the company will be present with whatever is coming next as far as the Switch successor is concerned.

In an interview with VGC, the company’s Norichika Meguro said that Picross “will certainly be coming to the new hardware down the road, so please look forward to it.” No further plans were shared, but it’s possible nothing concrete is in development – of course, Nintendo hasn’t unveiled a new console just yet.

Super Smash Bros. future Masahiro Sakurai

Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai has shared his thoughts in the future of the series, including his involvement.

In a new video published to YouTube today, he mentioned that he “can’t really imagine a Smash Bros. title without me.” Sakurai added that, currently, there isn’t someone that could “take the reigns” from him.
