Vlad Circus: Descend into Madness release date

Publisher Blowfish Studios and developer Indiesruption have come through with a release date for Vlad Circus: Descend into Madness. On Switch, the game launches on October 17, 2023.

Vlad Circus: Descend into Madness, a 2D pixel-art horror adventure title, was announced for Switch about a year ago. It was previously planned for Q1 2023 before being quietly delayed.

Dinobreak

Today, Dead Drops Studios announced that it’s about to release Dinobreak on Switch. The game is launching on October 4, 2023.

Dinobreak is a 90s-era survival horror game inspired by the likes of Dino Crisis and Resident Evil. It features “a gripping story, accessible difficulty options, three interchangeable camera views (fixed, third-person, and first-person), optional two player local co-op play, tons of unlockables, and a bonus arcade mode”.

Sunshine Manor release date

Sunshine Manor, the 8-bit blood-soaked horror RPG from Fossil Games, just received a final release date. It’s been announced that the game is scheduled to launch on October 6, 2023.

Sunshine Manor was announced for Switch in 2020. We haven’t heard much about that version of the game in a couple of years, so it may come as a surprise that it’s releasing so soon.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Booster Course Pass Set

Nintendo has announced the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass Set, which is a new retail release for the game. Fans can pick it up on October 6, 2023.

This is another odd release from Nintendo as it’s not a true physical release. It seems the original Mario Kart 8 Deluxe game is included, but the Booster Course Pass will be a download content. On the bright side, you’ll get a few physical goodies here – namely a set of four pins, set of five art cards (double sided) and set of ten sticker sheets.

The collection also has display filter options (including a 1980s-style CRT filter), save and restore points (up to four), and the ability to rewind up to ten seconds of live gameplay.

The latest Famitsu review scores for the week of September 27, 2023 are as follows:
