Detention likely coming to Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 3 Comments
Detention has been rated for Switch in Taiwan. Because of that, we can probably assume that it’s coming to the console.
Detention earned a great deal of acclaim when it first debuted on Steam earlier this year. It’s a 2D atmospheric horror side-scroller in which two students are trapped in a high school and need to find a way to escape.
More information about Detention can be found below, along with a trailer.

Bplus Games asks players to vote on Puzzle Box Maker’s Switch icon
Posted on 7 years ago by Tyler(@tylerlelliott) in General Gaming, News, Switch eShop | 6 Comments
Much has been made about Switch menu game icons over the past few months. Many system owners have voiced their opinions about them – with some vocal players dissatisfied with the way they look. Snake Pass, LEGO Worlds, and SteamWorld Dig 2 are among the titles people have requested to be changed.
To circumvent this issue, developer Bplus Games is taking a proactive approach in asking its followers to participate in a poll to determine which icon will be used for their upcoming Puzzle Box Maker. The four options are viewable in the image above. This seems to be a sensible approach in handling some players’ strong feelings about what an icon should look like.

Monster Boy shows another one of its hand-drawn characters
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 7 Comments
FDG Entertainment had some big news for Monster Boy last week. The game is seeing a graphical overhaul with reworked characters and animations. Monster Boy implemented hand-drawn characters since the last time we saw it.
Today, FDG revealed the next redone character in a blog post. Our first look at the new version of the frog is above.
Here’s what FDG had to say about the change:
As you can see, the proportions of the frog are now different. With the new freedom of entirely hand-drawn animation we are not dependent on an overarching skeleton/puppet system anymore which means we can let him do really cool stunts. Swinging rings and using the tongue will now look much more dynamic. He’s also looking more like a frog than before which adds a lot to the visual variety while playing Monster Boy. We hope you like the new look!
Thanks to HerosShade for the tip.

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 20 Comments
The Flame in the Flood couldn’t be off to a better start on Switch. Curve Digital publishing director Simon Byron mentioned on Twitter today that the game “smashed it” on the console, in which he wrote:
What a week: Flame in the Flood has absolutely smashed it on Switch and Bomber Crew is our most wishlisted game prior to launch ever.
— Simon Byron (@byronicman) October 13, 2017
MCV followed up with Byron for more on The Flame in the Flood’s Switch debut. He said that the game “had its best ever day on any console since we’ve been publishing it, beating any other format we have launched on.” Byron was anticipating a certain figure in his mind, but the actual result “was a third over that.”
