Deadly Premonition 2

Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise was unveiled during a Nintendo Direct last September. Since then, there hasn’t been much in the way of official news. But based on a tweet from director Hidetaka Suehiro, we could finally be hearing something soon.

Suehiro, known more commonly as Swery, said in a tweet yesterday that something’s happening next week with Deadly Premonition 2. He also said that development on The Good Life – another one of his projects – is “going well”.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution appears to have been a modest success for Konami. The game has shipped 500,000 copies on Switch, the company recently confirmed. That figure seemingly accounts for worldwide copies since the title ended up on Nintendo’s console last summer.

In March, a major update released for Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution. It added several new cards, content from Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS, and updated rules.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution can be purchased both physically and digitally on Switch.

Ty the Tasmanian Tiger

With Ty the Tasmanian Tiger having just launched on Switch a few weeks ago, we thought now would be a good time to speak with developer Krome Studios. Creator Steve Stamatiadis and studio manager Lindsay Parmenter were kind enough to answer several of our questions regarding the 3D platformer.

During our exclusive discussion, Stamatiadis and Parmenter discussed the early days of Ty the Tasmanian Tiger and its creation, why the TV show never happened, and the future of the series. There was also plenty of discussion about the new Switch version, including the porting process and graphical/gameplay updates.
