Ninja Issen release date

Today, CFK set a release date for Ninja Issen on Nintendo Switch. We’ll be seeing it on February 20, 2025.

Ninja Issen, a hyper ninja action game, was confirmed for Nintendo Switch way back in 2020. It’s taken a few years for the title to arrive following multiple delays, but now it’s just a little over a month away.

Here’s an overview of the game:

The latest Famitsu review scores for the week of January 15, 2025 are as follows:

Another Game Trial has been announced for Nintendo Switch Online in Europe, and this time around, Iconoclasts is taking the spotlight.

During the event, the entire experience can be accessed at no extra cost. All progress can be transferred to the full version if you choose to purchase it. The event starts now, January 15, and runs through to January 21.

Another Arcade Archives game is about to drop on Nintendo Switch, with Escape Kids due to release worldwide tomorrow, January 15.

The sports action game was first released in 1991 by Konami, and in it players need to repeatedly press buttons to reach the finish line before the “champion” dressed in black. The game also supports up to four players.

Check out a trailer for the game below:

Publisher Drecom have announced that they will be bringing Hungry Meem to Nintendo Switch this year. The colony simulation game will task players with taking care of the titular Meems, mysterious creatures that live beneath the World Tree and are in danger of extinction. No release date was announced.

Nintendo Wii U online play warning

A statement was posted on social media today in which Nintendo is cautioning fans against using “unauthorized services”. Specifics weren’t shared, but the company acknowledged that there are ways to continue playing Wii U games online. Nintendo claims that using these services “may pose unexpected security risks.”

Online support for Wii U – as well as 3DS – was discontinued last April. But there are ways to circumvent that. The open-source project Pretendo was previously established for this very reason, offering online functionality via custom servers and “clean-room reverse engineering.” Users need to hack their device in order to use the service.


Nintendo Switch 2 TFLOPS tech specs leak

New tech specs for Nintendo Switch 2 are claimed to have made their way online that reveal the TFLOPS and clock speeds of the console.

It’s tough to nail down the actual source of where today’s numbers are coming from. The details were posted on various social channels and places such as Reddit and Famiboards, and people are taking it seriously enough to the point where it’s apparently worth considering. There’s also talk surrounding a Nintendo Switch 2 SDK leak – which could be where the numbers originate.


Freedom Wars Remastered review

System: Switch
Release date: January 10, 2025
Developer: Dimps
Publisher: Bandai Namco


Despite the overwhelming and uncontested success of the Nintendo 3DS, I have always felt as though Sony gave up on the PlayStation Vita far too soon, and Freedom Wars is a fine illustration of this point. Originally released in 2014, the game went on to become one of the most successful first-party published titles for the system in Japan and easily filled the void left by the departure of Capcom’s Monster Hunter franchise to Nintendo systems. With its post-apocalyptic dystopian setting, more detailed narrative, and varied mission structure that went beyond simply hunting large single targets over and over again, it felt like the next step for hunting-style action RPGs, limited only by its chosen platform. Playing through the game again over a decade later, Freedom Wars Remastered holds up surprisingly well.

Mini Market Design

There’s yet another Nintendo Switch game incoming from RedDeerGames, and the company has now announced Mini Market Design. It will be available on January 21, 2025.

Mini Market Design is a creative sandbox game at its core. Players will design and decorate their own mini market – as the name implies.

December 26: The release date is in for Afterlove EP. Over on Nintendo Switch, the game will be available starting February 14, 2025.

Afterlove EP was first unveiled for Nintendo Switch at the very end of 2021. The team was targeting a launch the following spring, but of course, that didn’t end up happening. It’s now finally set to arrive more than three years after the announcement.
