Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Two Switch games that released this week will soon be receiving updates.
First up, Klei has confirmed that a patch for Don’t Starve: Nintendo Switch Edition has already been submitted to Nintendo. It’ll fix issues like being unable to see rabbit holes. Additional languages will also be supported in the future.
Regalia: Of Men and Monarchs is also getting an update imminently, if it isn’t live already. Version 1.01 fixes an issue in which some minor GUI elements were missing. Playability isn’t impacted, “but definitely makes Regalia look less pleasant” than initially planned.

Yooka-Laylee celebrated its very first birthday this week. To celebrate, developer Playtonic shared a brief blog post here.
The big takeaways from the post are a couple of interesting teases. Playtonic says the team has been “far too busy working on covert goodness”. We’ll soon be hearing about “extra content for Yooka-Laylee” as well as “other stuff.”
What could “other stuff” be? A new game? Something else? Hopefully we’ll have more news to share soon.

SEGA Ages could expand with Saturn and Dreamcast games in the future
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
SEGA Ages kicked off the weekend with a new announcement for Switch owners. Starting this summer, SEGA and M2 will be publishing classic games on the eShop. Sonic the Hedgehog, Phantasy Star, Thunder Force IV, Alex Kidd, and Gain Ground are among the confirmed titles. During a stage show at SEGA Fes, more details about the download initiative were shared.
Once the last wave of 3D Classics on 3DS wrapped up, it was decided that it would be a waste to just leave it there. That’s what initially led to SEGA and M2 once again partnering on classic games for Switch.

Travis Strikes Again uses ideas from abandoned projects, Suda51 wants to go beyond No More Heroes 3
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Travis Strikes Again is quite a bit different from the original No More Heroes games. You’ll be entering the worlds / genres of a few different titles, including action, racing, and puzzle.
The origins of these different games are rather interesting. In an interview with SideQuesting, director Suda51 revealed that the team took inspiration from “several old projects that I had in mind that I made project documents about, but they never went anywhere.”
