Heaven Seeker The Savior of This Cruel World

October 24: Heaven Seeker The Savior of This Cruel World is making its way to Switch, publisher Success Corporation revealed today. The company did not provide a release window.

Heaven Seeker The Savior of This Cruel World is a twin-stick roguelite shooter. The game features a dungeon with a different structure that changes each time you enter.

Further details about the project can be found in the following overview:

While Xbox did this previously, 2024 marked the year when the company made its biggest push yet regarding releasing its games on other platforms. Nintendo Switch benefited from the approach in the form of Grounded and Pentiment on the console.

Xbox boss Phil Spencer has now briefly weighed in on Microsoft’s approach going forward. In an interview with Bloomberg, while discussing bringing more games to Nintendo and PlayStation, he said that there are no “red lines in our portfolio that say ‘thou must not.'” He added that no decisions have been made about the next Halo given how early in development that game is.


Loco Motive release date

It’s been a few years since we first reported on Loco Motive, but the game just received a release date. Chucklefish and Robust Games will have it ready to go for Nintendo Switch on November 21, 2024.

Loco Motive, a point-and-click comedy adventure, was originally revealed for the platform at the very end of 2021. You may remember that it was planned for the following summer – but it’s clear that much more development time was needed.

GTA Trilogy update 1.112

After the patch started to make its way out yesterday, the new 1.112 update for GTA Trilogy (technically called Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition) is live on Nintendo Switch. We can confirm that all three games in the collection have been spruced up on the console.

Rockstar has shared its official patch notes, which note various fixes and improvements. Also, probably the biggest thing here is the lighting. Players can now select Classic Lighting mode to more closely emulate the look of the original games.

Servonauts release date

November 11: After it was announced for Nintendo Switch earlier in the year, Servonauts has received a release date. An eShop listing shows that the title is launching on November 21, 2024.

While Servonauts never had a specific release date, the game was technically delayed. Maxart was initially planning on having it out during the first half of the year – but that window was ultimately missed.

November 6: WayForward have revealed the release date for the previously announced Double Dragon DLC for River City Girls 2, which adds Billy and Jimmy Lee from Double Dragon. It will actually launch next week on Switch, on November 12.

In case you missed our previous coverage, you can get an overview of the DLC below:

A final trailer has come through for Tetris Forever that ties in with this week’s launch. The Nintendo Switch collection features various games, the new Tetris Time Warp, and documentary featurettes.

Mario & Luigi Brothership review

System: Switch
Release date: November 8, 2024
Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Acquire / Nintendo


The last year or so has been a remarkable year for RPGs, especially ones with “Mario” in the title. We’ve already been graced with lavishly produced remakes of both Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door – and now, Nintendo is closing out the year with a brand new, wholly original RPG in the form of Mario & Luigi: Brothership. The Mario & Luigi series was originally helmed by Alphadream before their unfortunate closure in 2019, for Brothership, Nintendo has tapped Way of the Samurai and Tenchu developer Acquire to carry the torch forward. While the franchise’s new stewards have done an admirable job adhering to the series’ identity, some considerable missteps prevent the latest Mario & Luigi entry from reaching the lofty heights of its predecessors.

Antonblast physical

Fangamer has confirmed its second upcoming physical release of the day following Little Kitty, Big City, which is Antonblast. The game will be available in boxed form sometime in 2025.

As of now Fangamer is only committing to a standard version. It’s unclear if any special editions are planned – more details about the physical release will follow later.
