Publisher RedDeerGames and developer Einzelartig Games have announced that Inukari – Chase of Deception will be coming to Switch. It is a retro-styled action platformer with an emphasis on smooth movement.

The game’s setting is that of a world where people have stopped respecting nature, causing disasters to occur across the land. Someone then lights a candle at the shrine of an ancient forest’s god, the main character. It’s their responsibility to restore order and peace, thereby connecting people back with nature and healing the world in the process.

As the first in a set of announcements for this week’s Pokemon Day, a whole bunch of events have gone live in Pokemon Masters EX, including:

  • Villain Event Spreading Shadows where you can boost Giovanni and Mewtwo is now live (February 20 – March 6)
  • Extreme Battle Event Giovanni’s Malice where players take on Giovanni (February 20 – March 6)
  • Double Feature Spotlight Scout with the ability to Scout 5-star sync pairs Erika & Leafeon and Misty & Vaporeon (February 20 – March 6)

nightdive studios nintendo remaster eternal darkness

Nightdive Studios has been behind some top-tier ports and remasters over the years. Most recently, the company was behind PowerSlave Exhumed on Switch. Nightdive also brought a number of other games to the platform, including  Quake, Turok 1 and 2, Shadowman Remastered, and more.

Nightdive hasn’t had the chance to remaster any games from Nintendo itself, but that hasn’t stopped the company from trying. CEO Stephen Kick actually revealed on Twitter a few days ago that it has talked with the Big N about the possibility. However, Nintendo “always get gun shy working with third-party developers even after Nightdive Studios
released the first N64 games on their platform.”

There’s a huge contrast between Xenoblade position as a series today and twelve years ago when it started. Early on in the series, Nintendo didn’t even consider releasing the first game in North America, which led to the creation of “Operation Rainfall” – a campaign in which fans asked for the western release of 3 Wii games, including Xenoblade Chronicles.

Well, things are very different right now. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 was just announced and the level of popularity has increased considerably. Taking all of this into consideration, I discuss the good place that Xenoblade is in right now and why Nintendo is promoting the series so much. You can check out the video down below.
