Gotcha Racing 2nd out on the Japanese Switch eShop next week, details and trailer

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments

Update (3/22): Gotcha Racing 2nd is now confirmed for March 29 in North America as well.

Original (3/21): Gotcha Racing 2nd was recently outed by a rating from Taiwan. A listing has since appeared on the Japanese eShop, confirming a Japanese release date of March 29. We also have first details.

The general premise is that Gotcha Racing 2nd is a racing game with a birds-eye view where players use machines customized with parts obtained from rolling gacha. There are around 700 types of parts appearing here. Prize money can be used to roll the gacha and customize your machine to be even more powerful. Surplus parts can also be compounded to strengthen your machine, so you can make your own original machine.

Nihilumbra heading to Switch

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments

Back in 2015, Beautifun Games brought Nihilumbra to the Wii U eShop. That title is now crossing over to Switch.

Cosen is bringing Nihilumbra to Japan this summer. We don’t have a release window for North America or Europe yet, but given that this is a western game, we should be seeing it around the same time if not sooner.
