Looking back at Nintendo’s greatest acquisition
Posted on 2 years ago by Luiz in Features, Videos | 0 comments
In the context of the recent news regarding Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard, I decided to look back at Monolith Soft’s trajectory inside Nintendo. The studio was acquired in 2007 and it’s interesting to see how it grew to be almost essential for Nintendo’s biggest franchises.
If you’ve been following Nintendo in recent years, you are probably familiar with the name “Monolith Soft”. The studio garnered a lot of respect for its work on the Xenoblade series and supporting some other Nintendo franchises, such as Zelda.
You can check the video down below for our thoughts on Nintendo’s acquisition of Monolith Soft.

Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Red Ego Games will release Re:Turn 2 – Runaway on Switch this month, the studio has announced. A release is planned for January 28.
Re:Turn 2 – Runaway is a 2D horror adventure game that acts as a sequel to Re:Turn – One Way Trip, which made its way to Switch in 2020. The psychological horror experience stars protagonist Saki and her fiancé, Sen, who are trapped on an abandoned train that’s haunted by an evil spirit. They’ll need to battle their way through to escape from the nightmare and free trapped souls from the clutches of the evil which has possessed them. As noted in the announcement, “Saki must decide whether to run, hide, or confront the evil to avoid a fate worse than the lost souls already trapped aboard the train.”
