Devolver Digital June 2023 Switch sale The Messenger

Devolver Digital is hosting a pretty big June 2023 Switch eShop sale with multiple games at their lowest prices ever, including Card Shark, Inscryption, and The Messenger – just to name a few. Other standouts like Hotline Miami Collection and Katana Zero are also here.

Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse recently went multiplatform as part of its re-release in March, but some might not know that it was originally published by Nintendo. The game originally came out for Wii in 2008 – though only in Japan.

Makoto Shibata, one of the original directors on Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, recently reflected on Nintendo’s involvement in an interview with Japanese magazine Famitsu. It turns out that the company reached out directly to Shibata. After creating a proposal, it was accepted.

Fall of Porcupine gameplay

Fall of Porcupine just landed on Switch this week, and a new round of gameplay has come in. Footage shows off the just-released story adventure title.

Persona 5 Tactica art style

Persona 5 Tactica was recently revealed and it has its own chibi-esque art style that’s prompted some interesting fan discussion. Some of the game’s developers have now weighed in on the design.

In an interview published this week, Famitsu spoke with Persona team producer Kazuhisa Wada, director Naoya Maeda, and business producer Atsushi Nomura. They confirmed what we essentially knew in that Persona 5 Tactica isn’t a Persona Q sequel, but also discussed style differences between them. Oribe said “the 3D models are intentionally taller with the arms and legs being longer” and noted how “it may seem more like an American comic-like deformed style.”

My demo with Thirsty Suitors had me battling an ex-boyfriend by slinging insults, racking up combos at an abandoned skatepark, and cooking food to win my parents’ approval. Credit where credit is due: I don’t think any other game has tried to do those three specific things at once! It feels like exactly the type of game you’d expect to see Annapurna publishing these days – a little surreal, very experimental, and handcrafted to surprise you at almost every turn. While I’m a little unsure about how Thirsty Suitors will manage to tie all its ideas together into a cohesive package, I’ve enjoyed the rollercoaster ride that I’ve experienced so far.
