A new update has been released for Dust & Neon on Switch, bringing a number of bug fixes, balance adjustments, and improves to the title. Some highlights include adjustments to enemy stats and experience gains to reduce the grind and increase the challenge, harder missions generating as players survive for longer, and an increase in mission variety. Full details can be found below:

Hamster has announced that it will make 3D Thunder Scepter II available as its latest Arcade Archives game on Switch. It’s due out tomorrow on March 16. A shooter first released in 1986 by Namco, the game is particularly notable for being one of the first to utilise stereoscopic 3D in the arcade, although this is not a feature that will be supported in the Switch release. The game sees players moving through a variety of stages to safely reach the Federation Military Base.
