Another round of Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake details have come in, this time covering the Seabed. Square Enix is including this content specifically for the release.

Here’s the full rundown:

According to Square Enix, the company is planning a demo for Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade.

That news comes directly from director Naoki Hamaguchi. In a recent interview, he confirmed that a demo is planned for release by the end of the year. Hamaguchi didn’t explain what exactly will be included, but said that for “players who might still be on the fence or unsure about playing, it’d be great for them to experience [the demo] and feel the full specs” of the system.

One of the next big Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch games launches today, with Supergiant sending out Hades 2. We now have the official launch trailer.

One of the standout games from the latest Nintendo Direct, Resident Evil Requiem has been receiving widespread praise on social media after its handheld gameplay on the Nintendo Switch 2 was showcased (you can check out the full details here). Following the announcement of the game for the new console, the developers shared insights on bringing Requiem to the system, saying the studio was impressed with the hardware and that it “just made sense.”

Funtomata, the studio behind the Asfalia series, has just announced that two titles from the franchise are coming to the Nintendo Switch next month. Asfalia: The Cranky Volcano and Asfalia: Panic at the Mansion will launch on the console on October 30.

There’s a note for Nintendo Switch 2 owners: Asfalia: Panic at the Mansion is currently not compatible with the Switch 2, while The Cranky Volcano will be playable on both consoles.

The developer also confirmed that demo versions of the games will be available on the Nintendo eShop starting October 2.

Asfalia: The Cranky Volcano and Asfalia: Panic at the Mansion were originally released on Steam as Asfalia: Anger and Asfalia: Fear. Their names and key artwork were recently updated to better reflect their nature as family-friendly narrative adventures. The story and gameplay remain unchanged.

Playtonic indicated that it’s had limited time with Nintendo Switch 2 dev kits, but is “investigating the possibility of implementing a performance mode to follow some time post launch.”
