Nintendo usually closes out the year with an Indie World Showcase, and that ended up happening this week. A new presentation was delivered with about 25 minutes of news regarding indie games for Switch.
One of the biggest of the bunch if Sports Story – the next game from Golf Story developer Sidebar Games – which is finally coming out in December. A few titles saw shadowdrops, including Rogue Legacy 2, A Little to the Left, and Once Upon a Jester. In terms of games we didn’t know about Switch previously, announcements included Venba, Have a Nice Death, ONI: Road to the Mightiest Oni, Pepper Grinder, Wobbledogs, and Inscryption. You can catch up on the full recap here.
So what’d you think of the latest Indie World Showcase? What was your personal highlight? Let us know in the comments.
[Review] Bayonetta 3
Posted on 2 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release Date: October 28, 2022
Developer: PlatinumGames
Publisher: Nintendo
The wait for Bayonetta 3 has been a long one as fans have been waiting since the reveal of its logo at The Game Awards in 2017. Though we’ve had the previous entries ported over to Switch to play, the latest addition to the series is finally here in what feels like a fever dream. Bayonetta has had long gaps in between each game, but each entry of gaming’s most powerful witch has been well worth the wait, with Bayonetta 3 being no different. The excellence in storytelling, gameplay, theatrics, and PlatinumGames’ signature hack-and-slash mastery improves with each, and while Bayonetta 3 is just under what Bayonetta 2 achieved in 2014, it’s still is a masterful title in a league of its own, held back only by the aging hardware it finds itself restricted to.

Call of Duty’s future on Switch, cool upcoming indies, Bayonetta 3 hands-on impressions, and more | Nintendo Everything Refresh Ep. 030
Posted on 2 years ago by Nicholas Serpa in Podcast, Switch | 0 comments
While Call of Duty has had a long history of appearing on Nintendo consoles (and even handhelds!), the Switch has yet to receive an entry in the world’s biggest franchise of first-person shooters. But could that change? Xbox’s Phil Spencer – aspiring future owner of Activision Blizzard – seems to think so! Join your hosts Nick, Nicolas and Luiz as they ask the question – will Switch ever get a Call of Duty game, and what could it look like? They’ll also discuss some exciting new indies coming to Switch in the next month (including a former Stadia exclusive), how it feels to FINALLY be playing Bayonetta 3 after so much time, and much more!
[Review] Dragon Ball: The Breakers
Posted on 2 years ago by Elias in Reviews, Switch eShop | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: October 14, 2022
Developer: Dimps
Publisher: Bandai Namco
Series fans are usually excited about all things Dragon Ball, and with Bandai Namco’s latest game Dragon Ball: The Breakers, we’ve been looking forward to frantic gameplay and multiplayer fun. With mechanics not unlike Dead By Daylight, players are pitted against powerful Dragon Ball menaces with limited resources at their disposal no real means of fighting back. Standing alongside favorite characters like Trunks and Bulma, will we be able to escape with our lives?
[Review] Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope
Posted on 2 years ago by Nicholas Serpa in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release Date: October 20, 2022
Developer: Ubisoft
Publisher: Ubisoft
Conceptually, there was really no good reason why a game as bizarre and audacious as 2017’s Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle should have worked – but it did. Not only did it somehow make a crossover between Nintendo’s most iconic cast of characters and Ubisoft’s most – er, divisive – not feel completely bonkers, but it also introduced an accessible and creative take on turn-based tactics to a console that, at that point, was light on quality options. I enjoyed Kingdom Battle so thoroughly that initially, I couldn’t fathom why a sequel would need to exist. But after spending over 30 hours exploring sprawling planets and battling every foe I’ve crossed paths with, I don’t feel like it’s an exaggeration to call Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope one of Mario’s finest outings to date.
