Sky Gamblers: Storm Raiders 2

System: Switch (eShop)
Release date: October 31, 2019
Developer: Atypical Games
Publisher: Atypical Games


Of all the genres most cruelly under-represented in modern gaming, I feel it’s the humble air-combat sim that tops the list. What was once a regular showing during the 90’s and 00’s has since withered away in significance, and outside of a handful of current and last-gen Ace Combat games, there has been little else to fill the void – especially on Nintendo’s hybrid console. As a result of this drought, I couldn’t deny my intrigue once I learned of Sky Gamblers: Storm Raiders 2’s presence in the Switch’s release calendar. The mere mention of high octane dogfights and World War II aircraft are a sure fire way to get me interested (I may still be 12, need to check). What I failed to anticipate was the mobile heritage of the franchise that makes itself blisteringly apparent once you fire the game up.

After a slight delay, the physical version of A Hat in Time launches this coming week. Some lucky fans are already getting their hands on the game though, and we now have information about an optional download.

A Hat in Time will prompt players to download 5.4GB of data as an update. However, it’s worth noting that the game can still start without it. As for the Seal the Deal DLC, it’s offered through a code included in the box.

Here’s a quick look at the physical version of A Hat in Time:

Furukawa said the following, as translated by Siliconera:

Two weeks before the games officially launch, certain fans managed to get their hands on copies and have shared all sorts of information about creatures in the games. The leaks have continued over the past few hours with many new Pokemon, evolutions, Galarian and Gigantamax forms now being made known.

We’ve rounded up the latest set of leaks below. Once again, please turn away now if you’d prefer to go into your experience with Pokemon Sword/Shield without having been spoiled about new Pokemon that are included.

After the Switch debuted in 2017, it was no surprise to see surprise to see support for the 3DS wind down. The new console had quickly proved to be incredibly successful, and Nintendo needed to prepare a number of experiences for its latest platform. After Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn this past March, that was pretty much it for the 3DS.

Had Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr.’s Journey sold better, perhaps 3DS could have seen a few additional games. Imran Khan, a former senior editor at Game Informer, claimed in a recent episode of the Kinda Funny Games Daily show that a new Fire Emblem remake was planned for the dedicated handheld – among other plans. Khan now speculates that we could see it on Switch instead.
