[Let’s Talk] Where should Xenoblade go from here?
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch | 0 comments
One of the news topics circulating this week is Xenoblade Chronicles series director Tetsuya Takahashi saying that if there’s another entry in the franchise, it would probably be pretty different. In a way that seems like something obvious to mention, but it’s also an interesting point of discussion.
There are many similarities across the Xenoblade games, but plenty of differences as well. Perhaps the most unique of the bunch was Xenoblade Chronicles X, which put a focus more on quests and less of a story plus rideable mechs. For the most part though, the series has been about exploring big worlds, getting wrapped up in the world and story (unless you want to discount X), appreciating the music, and taking on enemies in the real-time action-based battle system.
Having said that, where should Xenoblade go from here? What would you like to see in a theoretical new game? Let us know in the comments.

[Rapid Review] Vampire Survivors
Posted on 1 year ago by Dawn in Reviews, Switch eShop | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: August 17, 2023
Developer: Poncle
Publisher: Poncle
Every now and then a game will be released that breaks away from the labels that we use to define titles and will become a thing entirely unto itself. Vampire Survivors is one such game, having been met with massive success when it first launched last year. Part rogue-like, part bullet-hell, and entirely self-contained, it has already inspired several other titles that have tried to capture its unique magic. It is magic, I am very pleased to say, that is a perfect fit for the Switch, and a game that is more than worth your time.

Something that may have gone under the radar with this week’s No Man’s Sky news is that the game’s visuals have been improved on Switch.
Hello Games just issued a new “Echoes” update and it’s pretty significant. But aside from actual content additions, what was tucked away on the official website and patch notes is that the Switch version has been touched up.
