Leif's Adventure: Netherworld Hero

OneManOnMars Art has announced a new game for Switch titled “Leif’s Adventure: Netherworld Hero”.

Here’s the general premise:

What does it take to be a hero?

An age-old question leads Leif on an adventure to a world beyond mortal comprehension. Join our hero and his magical ally on an epic quest to meet loyal friends, fight hordes of enemies and solve mind-bending puzzles. Will he find his way back to the world of the living?

Good news for Pokemon GO players. Niantic has pledged to improve the game’s EX Raid Battles feature, with the company tweeting out the following today:


EX Raid Battles began in a beta state last month. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been received terribly well.

As Polygon notes, EX Raid Battles requires players to be regular participants in the co-op gym feature, they tend to be tied to specific locations, and some legendary Pokemon such as Mewtwo could only be obtained this way. The necessary Premium Raid pass invitations were sent out on a random basis, and some players who only won a single standard Raid battle won the Premium Raid pass whereas those who regularly battled high-level Pokemon at a variety of gyms would leave empty handed.

Hiragana Pixel Party is a rhythm-action platforming Japanese-learning chiptune adventure. The title will help you learn Japanese Hiragana and Katakana characters, though anyone can play it.

Natsume has announced that the Switch version of Harvest Moon: Light of Hope is planned for early 2018 on Switch. The game will cost $30 on Steam, so we’re expecting a somewhat similar price on Nintendo’s console. Also, a physical version is once again confirmed.

Find some additional information about Harvest Moon: Light of Hope below. We have new screenshots in the gallery as well.

A number of outlets were recently able to go hands-on with Gear.Club Unlimited, including IGN. Find some details from their report below.

Update (10/25): Koizumi relayed many of the same points made to Famitsu as he did with 4Gamer. Also mentioned is that we can look forward to more than just Nintendo’s traditional IPs on Switch.


Original (10/23): 4Gamer published a new interview today with Super Mario Odyssey producer Yoshiaki Koizumi. It was mainly about that game as you would expect, but the piece also contained some talk about the Switch in general. It’s worth noting that Koizumi was the overall general producer of the Switch hardware.

Towards the end of its interview, 4Gamer brought up how Switch is getting a number of big games at a steady pace in its first year. The site almost feels like Nintendo compressed a five-year console cycle into just one year.

Famitsu has posted the first screenshots and art of World End Syndrome, the new love adventure game from Arc System Works and Toybox Games. View the images below.
