Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption

Another Indie and Dark Star Game Studios today announced a major update for the boss battler Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption. Next month, the game will be adding game modes, a new boss, and two more weapons.

Here’s a rundown of what’s new:

Solstice Chronicles: MIA

Circle Entertainment has nailed down a release date for Solstice Chronicles: MIA. The sci-fi action shooter launches February 7, the company announced. It’ll be sold digitally via the eShop.

Solstice Chronicles: MIA “introduces smart mechanics and skills that give you multiple ways to tackle the challenge.” Co-op is supported in Story and Survival modes.

Here’s a new trailer for the game:

Earlier this month, Humble started selling codes for digital Nintendo titles on its store for the first time. Switch and 3DS owners have another way of purchasing games like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon.

There’s just one downside to Humble’s partnership with Nintendo. Unfortunately, only those in the United States can purchase from the store. The one bright spot? The opportunity could be expanding in the future.

During a recent Humble Bundle live stream, it was stated that the team is “looking into the future possibility of bringing in more countries”. It was reiterated right after, “Don’t worry, we’re looking into it for you guys.” If we happen to hear any news about this in the future, we’ll let you know.

If there’s one thing that’s remained consistent about Switch since its launch in March 2017, it’s the fact that Hamster has prepared at least one new NeoGeo game on a weekly basis. But after nearly two years, the streak has come to an end. You may have missed it, but there was no NeoGeo title on the eShop this week. There was a new entry in the Arcade Archives series though – that being Bomb Jack.

There are currently just over 100 NeoGame games out on Switch currently. Hamster hasn’t said it’s done with NeoGeo games, so perhaps we’ll see a return this week.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.
