Bayonetta Origins review

System: Switch
Release Date: March 22, 2023
Developer: PlatinumGames
Publisher: Nintendo


With Bayonetta 3 having just released last October, it was unexpected, to say the least, when a new game in the form of Cereza and the Lost Demon was revealed so soon after. However, it was clear from the get-go that this wouldn’t be the typical experience fans have grown to know and love, and would instead delve into a more relaxed but still engaging tale of the character’s upbringing. Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon is a game that is surprising in more ways than one but is a pleasant gift to longtime fans of the franchise that gives Bayonetta a different, charming perspective with a gorgeous art direction and not once overstays its welcome. In some cases, despite being a spinoff, it could arguably be the best title the series has seen to date, and it’s a perfect place to jump into for those that have been hesitant to get acquainted with the Umbran Witch.

LEGO 2K Drive physical download code

LEGO 2K Drive is seeing a retail release on Switch, but probably not in the way that most would have hoped. Rather than including an actual physical cartridge, it looks like 2K Games is opting to simply including a download code.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen something like this, and it definitely won’t be the last. However, given that LEGO 2K Drive is a fairly significant game release, it’s somewhat of a surprise. Not everyone will care – especially if you were planning on going digital in the first place – but it’s still worth bringing up.

zelda breath of the wild sound effects

Sound effects are an important aspect of game development, but it took on an especially big priority in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. There’s a greater emphasis on exploration and nature, so it isn’t always filled with bombastic music that the series is known for.

In a piece published on Nintendo’s recruitment site, developer Takuro Yasuda provided some insight into the creation of sound effects in Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Interestingly, it was shared that he used his own voice for the Yiga Clan. Yasuda also touched on how he came up with the idea of different sounds being played for Link’s bag depending on which foot the character was stepping on.

Our full translation of the piece regarding sound effects in Zelda: Breath of the Wild is as follows: 

Terra Flame

Terarin Games has announced that its horizon shoot ’em up Terra Flame will launch on Switch this month. The title’s release is slated for April 30, 2023.
