Nintendo reveals the best-selling Switch games of 2017, sort of
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 30 Comments
It’s been a busy year for Nintendo and Switch, with many titles launching on the platform since its debut in March. With 2017 coming to a close, Nintendo has decided to share a listing of the system’s best-selling games this year. Sort of. There are a couple of caveats to consider.
But first, on with the list:
Tactical Mind coming soon to Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
A listing on the eShop shows a new title from QubicGames and Drageus Games. Assuming what’s shown on the store is accurate, Tactical Mind will be out starting this week.
Tactical Mind is a strategy game in which you gather energy, spawn and upgrade Pawns while also attacking and disabling your opponent’s Pawns. It features a single-player campaign as well as local multiplayer.

[Review] The Next Penelope
Posted on 7 years ago by Jakob Vujovic(@jakovujo) in Reviews, Switch eShop | 1 Comment
System: Switch (eShop)
Release date: December 21, 2017
Developer: Aurélien Regard / Seaven Studio
Publisher: Plug In Digital
Set in a far-future interpretation of one of the oldest pieces of western literature, The Next Penelope has an engaging aesthetic wrapper for its gameplay mixture of top-down shooter and Micro Machines style racing. As novel as space Poseidon might be, these narrative elements are also its flimsiest facet. The snippets of dialogue that are peppered throughout the game’s five main major challenges fumble with some inelegant wording, odd grammar, and a few comma splices. The premise isn’t given the space to develop into much beyond passing references to the Odyssey. Fortunately, this is all just window dressing – the game’s hectic arcade-style shooting fares much better in blending somewhat dissonant gameplay concepts. It comes together as an impressively well constructed genre hybrid.

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 1 Comment
ConcernedApe began to tease new content for Stardew Valley last month. It was said at the time that it will be released alongside the free multiplayer update. Today, ConcernedApe provided brand new information that will be included.
Here’s the official word from the developer:
some things I've added for the new content update:
*new "town event" in winter
*new type of collection that you can start in your first winter
*Signs (can display any item on them)
*More outdoor decorations (some change w/ season)
*More NPC "events"
*A way to re-spec professions— ConcernedApe (@ConcernedApe) December 20, 2017
Stardew Valley’s new content and multiplayer update will go live on Switch sometime in 2018.

Dragon Marked for Death officially delayed to 2018
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 7 Comments
Inti Creates, the developer of the Azure Striker Gunvolt series, has been hard at work on its new game Dragon Marked for Death. Originally, it was slated for Winter 2017. With the lack of news since the original announcement, Inti Creates shared the expected news today that the game is now coming sometime in 2018 instead.
The official Twitter account posted the following earlier today:
We wanted to give everyone an update on the release timeframe for Dragon Marked for Death. The team is working day and night to make this game the absolute best it it can be, and thus, the game will now release sometime in 2018.
Thank you very much for your patience. pic.twitter.com/2TufBYE8uN

2017 is almost up, so it would have been very surprising for Dragon Marked for Death to be released within the next couple of weeks. You can at least rest easy knowing that Inti Creates is doing everything possible to make the game as great as it can be.
