Into the Breach update 1.2.88

Subset Games has announced a new version 1.2.88 update for Into the Breach. This should be rolling out within the next couple of weeks on Switch.

The upcoming update is largely intended to address a variety of issues. As part of that, a Switch-specific problem will be addressed with the Developer Console.

The full patch notes for the Into the Breach version 1.2.88 are as follows:

Life is Strange 2 Switch

Square Enix will soon be publishing Life is Strange 2 on Switch, the company just announced. The game is due out on February 2, 2023.

With the upcoming release, all of the Life is Strange games will be available on Nintendo’s console. Life is Strange: True Colors launched in December 2021, followed by Life is Strange Remastered Collection in September 2022. The latter includes updated versions of the original Life is Strange and Life is Strange: Before the Storm.

Original: Trek to Yomi has been made official for Switch thanks to a Japanese eShop listing. Going off of that page, Devolver Digital will be publishing the title on January 31, 2023.

Trek to Yomi was thought to be bound for Switch after a rating for the game surfaced in Germany a few months ago. However, this is the first time we’ve had proper confirmation.

Tents and Trees

The successful mobile game Tents and Trees is transitioning to Switch, Frozax Games confirmed today. Although a specific release date hasn’t been shared, it’s been confirmed to launch sometime during month.

Frozax Games has teased “exclusive features and new content” for the Switch edition. The developer will also be self-publishing as it hopes to “reach a wider audience.”

The Legend of Gwen

Publisher Flynn’s Arcade, in collaboration with Wiwigames, announced today that The Legend of Gwen is appearing on Switch next month. Those interested in purchasing the title can do so starting February 16, 2023.

Here’s an overview of the action platformer with additional details:

Pipeline Panic

Today, Soft Source Publishing and CRX Entertainment announced that they’ll be releasing Pipeline Panic on Switch. The game only has a few days to go until release as it’s planned for January 26, 2023.

Pipeline Panic is officially described as “a good old fashioned 2D arcade fun with tons of upgrades and fast paced action where taking risks is rewarded with a higher score.” More information can be found in the following overview:

Fire Emblem Engage sales

Original (1/22): This week’s UK software sales are in, and it includes the first report on Fire Emblem Engage.

The new Switch title did manage to debut at #1. However, launch sales are 31 percent lower than Fire Emblem: Three Houses. While that may seem disappointing, Fire Emblem Engage earned the second biggest launch for the series in the UK. Fire Emblem Awakening is third in case you’re curious.

It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. This week, Ys IX and Suikoden I&II HD Remaster appear for the first time.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between December 29 and January 11.

Spy Bros.: Pipi & Bibi’s DX was originally announced for Switch last August. It ended up going through a bit of a delay as the project was first slated for Q4 2022.

Original (11/21): Edia today announced Telenet Shooting Collection, a package of shoot ’em up games originally made by Telenet Japan. There’s no word on specific release timing, but it will be out on Switch sometime after June 2023 in Japan.
