Taiwan shop lists Sonic Frontiers for November 15, DLC mentioned
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Original: A Taiwan Kuji shop has not only listed a potential release date for Sonic Frontiers via a promotional image, but has also indicated that the game will be receiving DLC.
The retailer has the title down for launch on November 15, 2022. Multiple rumblings are pointing to that date, but we still don’t have confirmation from SEGA. The PlayStation database also listed the November 15 date at one point, and while everything could be a placeholder, it’s looking quite possible at this point.

Initially, Melty Blood: Type Lumina’s latest update featuring new playable characters Neco-Arc and Mash Kyrielight was set to release today, August 19. While this update has gone live for most platforms, it seems something has fallen through for the Switch version.

Pokemon Shuffle ending service in March 2023
Posted on 2 years ago by Nicolas in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
According to Serebii, it has just been announced that Pokemon Shuffle, the free-to-play 3DS eShop Pokemon puzzle game, will be ending service on March 31 2023. For the sake of clarity, this is exclusively affecting the 3DS version; no announcements have been made regarding the mobile versions of Pokemon Shuffle.
Even with the game’s online service ending, you’ll still be able to play through Standard Stages and any Event Stages already downloaded. What will be disabled, however, is the ability to acquire daily login bonuses, play Ranked Stages, and download Event Stages.
This news doesn’t come as a huge surprise given prior announcements of the Wii U and 3DS eShops ending purchases on March 27, 2023. If you want to be able to experience Pokemon Shuffle’s Event Stages on 3DS in the future, make sure to download them in the coming months.

Video: Wave Race 64 Switch vs Wii U vs N64 graphics comparison

Wave Race 64 has just released for Nintendo Switch Online, and we can now take a look at how this version of the game compares visually to past iterations. In this Gamexplain video, the Switch version is first compared to the N64 original, before then being compared to the more modern Wii U version.
As is expected, the Switch version is certainly an improvement over the more jagged N64 original, and since Wii U ports of N64 games tended to make things a little darker, the Switch brightens it up in comparison to be truer to its initial release.
Here is some more information about Wave Race 64:
