I go over how the “free updates” model that Nintendo has been using for a while now may actually be doing more bad than good for the games developed by Camelot. You can watch the full video down below and feel free to share your experience with the game.

Overpass Rhythm Roadtrip

Publisher The Quantum Astrophysicists Guild and developer Studio Bean have announced that Overpass: Rhythm Roadtrip, a new take on the rhythm genre, is in the works for Switch. The game is arriving sometime in 2022.

Overpass: Rhythm Roadtrip is a rhythm adventure title with a focus on score-chasing, all presented with a unique perspective. Players will drive through pyramid-filled deserts, serene forests, and urban environments to the beat of a synthesized soundtrack from Makeup and Vanity Set.

In total you’ll be seeing eight global regions and 30 original, hand-crafted tracks.
