Stardew Valley gets first multiplayer details
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 7 Comments
A new blog post hit the official Stardew Valley site explaining what’s in store for multiplayer. As was announced earlier this year, Switch will be the first console to be receiving the new functionality.
When you begin Stardew Valley, you’ll be able to build up to three cabins on your farm that can be inhabited by a farmhand controlled by friends. Farmhands can farm, mine, fight, fish, forage, marry NPCs, and take part in festivals. Players will also have separate inventories. When a friend isn’t online, inventory management is done through a chest in their cabinet.
It also seems that player-to-player marriage will be possible. Rather than using the mermaid pendant, “an alternative method that requires a similar amount of effort to wooing an NPC” is planned instead.
The full post on multiplayer in Stardew Valley is below.

Hex Gambit funded on Kickstarter, officially confirmed for Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Hex Gambit has managed to reach its funding goal on Kickstarter. One Man Left Studios was looking to raise $11,000, which was just reached. Switch was a part of the main goal, so the game is officially confirmed for Nintendo’s console.
Here’s what you can expect from Hex Gambit:
In a world called Agon, the sharpest strategic minds command squads of expendable automatons in an explosive arena sport called the Hex Gambit.
Hex Gambit is a unique turn-based strategy game coming to Steam and the Nintendo Switch™ console, from the makers of the cult classic Outwitters (view our entire catalog of games here). It’s designed to get to the fun part fast: Drag and drop minions onto your side of the map on Turn 1; start hitting stuff on Turn 2! Games typically last 10-30 minutes (depending how fast you think), with the action always intensifying in the late game for an epic conclusion.
Hex Gambit will be on Switch sometime in 2018.

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 2 Comments
Earlier today, we found out that Forever Entertainment is bringing Violett to Switch via an eShop listing. That won’t be the publisher’s only release on the system.
Also in the works is Prodigy, an upcoming tactical RPG developed by Hanakai Studio. It was funded on Kickstarter back in 2014.
Here’s a brief overview:
Prodigy is a head to head tactical role playing game with mixed turn-based and real time multiplayer action, pitting your heroes against those of your friends or online opponent. The game will feature both PvE and PvP modes, including Ranked and Unranked Multiplayer.
Forever Entertainment will be putting the “electronic” version of Prodigy on Switch. The download version makes use of a “digital board tested through a closed Alpha”, and it “will be entirely compatible” with the physical version.
