The Centennial Case A Shijima Story review

System: Switch
Release Date: May 12, 2022
Developer: h.a.n.d.
Publisher: Square Enix


Say what you will about Square Enix, but it’s impossible to deny that they’ve got a knack for publishing offbeat experiences that few other major publishers would touch. Their latest oddity, ­the lengthily named The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story, is an ambitious interactive detective story framed almost entirely through full-motion video (or FMV) – a style of presentation that really thrived in the 90’s but is only now experiencing a small resurgence in popularity. Despite its niche presentation, the game delivers an intimate and intelligent mystery that is well worth seeing through to the end, if players can endure its slow pacing and only moderately interesting characters.

Meg's Monster

Odencat, the studio behind Bear’s Restaurant, today unveiled its next game Meg’s Monster. The adventure RPG has been confirmed for Switch and is set for release this fall.

Here’s an overview of the game with further information:

Super Perils of Baking

Lillymo Games has announced that it will release Super Perils of Baking on Switch early next month. The 2D platformer will be out on June 3, 2022.

Super Perils of Baking takes inspiration from titles of the ’90s. The game features a talented student-baker who’s on a mission to stop his brother, who has been enchanted by a cursed baking hat garnered from their school’s basement. The plot is written in verse with a storybook-like presentation.

Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series Switch frame rate, resolution, file size

The official Japanese website for Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series has opened, and it offers up key information about the Switch version – notably the game’s frame rate, resolution, and file size.

First up, Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series is confirmed to run at “up to” 60 frames per second on Nintendo’s console. Unfortunately, Bandai Namco doesn’t elaborate further. Other platforms essentially run at a constant 60 FPS, but it’s possible that the Switch version may run into a dip here and there.

june 2022 nintendo direct lets talk

E3 might be dead – at least this year – but June is still primed to be a big month for gaming news, announcements, and presentations. Summer Game Fest will be back in action and at least some companies are expected to host events.

The big question is whether we’ll see a new Nintendo Direct next month. Generally speaking, we get three of these events each year: in Q1, then in June, and finally September. The June presentation always ties in with E3. But even though there’s no E3 in 2022, there’s nothing stopping a Nintendo Direct from happening.

Assuming a Nintendo Direct is on track for June, what are you hopes and dreams? What sort of announcements would get you excited for the future of Switch? And which titles do you think would be realistically shown? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below.
