Flippin Kaktus

Publisher No Gravity Games and developer Rage++ have confirmed that Flippin Kaktus, a “brutal action-driven vendetta”, is in the works for Switch. The title will release on May 12, 2022.

Flippin Kaktus is an adventure game at its core, though there are plenty of platforming elements as well. The game stars a “spiky hero with the thorny past” who goes on a journey to save his foster family after a drug cartel raids his home.

Here’s a rundown of the different features that are included:

Original (4/18): Sonic Origins had originally been announced last year as an HD compilation of past Sonic games, set to launch in 2022. However, Sega has been very quiet about the project since, leading to speculation of development issues, if not outright cancellation. It seems now that that may not be the case.

A recent Korean rating for the PC version game has just surfaced, giving it a “suitable for all ages” rating. Most importantly, this means a release of Sonic Origins is still in the cards, and could possibly happen sooner rather than later.

Nintendo has updated the Japanese release schedule on its platforms for the week of April 28, 2022. Here’s a look at the upcoming digital download schedule:
