Gravity Game Arise and Labrador Studios have announced a new winter update for Live by the Sword: Tactics.

Alongside new content, content has been changed and adjusted thanks to player feedback. The game is receiving a Stat Point System, unlockable Grand effects, new boards and items, increased movement speed, and more.

The full patch notes are as follows:

The latest update for No Man’s Sky is now available, with the Switch version now moving up to version 4.06.

ARK: Ultimate Survivor Edition is about to receive another update, with version 2.0.3 going live later today.

More improvements, adjustments, and fixes are included this time around. These include gliding improvements for the Archaeopteryx, a fix for sorting by weight in inventory, and more.

The full patch are as follows:

Nintendo mature Xbox

According to Microsoft, Nintendo “offers a broader range of mature content than Xbox”.

Microsoft’s statements came about as part of its response to the UK CMA about wanting to buy Activision. Despite some claiming that Nintendo is more family-friendly, Switch in particular has proved otherwise. Microsoft highlighted the Nintendo-published Bayonetta 3, the console-exclusive Shin Megami Tensei V, and other third-party titles such as The Witcher 3 and NieR: Automata. Ultimately Microsoft is looking to prove that Nintendo is as much a competitor as Sony is with PlayStation, and was looking to provide “evidence that Nintendo Switch is not just a console aimed at the family friendly customer segment but more broadly at a diverse group of gamers across all demographics.”

Pokemon Scarlet Violet frame rate resolution

A new video from Digital Foundry has explored the technical side of Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, including frame rate and resolution.

Unfortunately, the games just aren’t up to snuff in this department. That doesn’t mean the actual gameplay is bad. Across the board though, the titles are by all accounts disappointing – frame rate, resolution, glitches, and more don’t meet standards that many had hoped for.

Tin Hearts has been delayed, with the game moving to a new 2023 release window. 

The immersive puzzle adventure was announced in March 2021. As part of the reveal, the title was initially targeted for a winter release. 

The Outbound Ghost physical

Original (8/31): The Outbound Ghost will be sold physically on Switch, it’s been confirmed. Merge Games will be responsible for distributing the game at retail. Pricing is set at $34.99 / £29.99 / €34.99.

Interestingly, it appears we have a release date – at least for the physical release. The Outbound Ghost will be out in stores on November 25, 2022. Digerati says that the digital launch is still planned for this year on Switch, but didn’t specify an exact date.

Kid Icarus Uprising home console port Masahiro Sakurai

Masahiro Sakurai has given a small glimmer of hope that Kid Icarus: Uprising could one day appear on a home console.

Sakurai published yet another video on his YouTube channel, this time discussing game difficultly. Kid Icarus: Uprising was the focus here because of its unique Fiend’s Cauldron mechanic. Players can choose the “Intensity” before starting a stage. It’s a risk and reward system since a higher Intensity means the game will be more difficult, but you’ll earn better rewards.
