Switch eShop

A few new games out came out this week on the various eShops. If you’re interested in checking out what’s new in screenshot form, take a look at the gallery below.

It wasn’t too long ago that FDG Entertainment announced an overhaul for the visuals of Monster Boy. The game now features hand-drawn designs and animations.

For today’s reveal, we have a look at the new approach to the lion character. Here’s what FDG said about the change:

Today we reveal the new hand-drawn design of the lion and he wears some cool ice equipment. This is the best equipment to have for the scorching hot volcano area and will help you to survive much longer. Deal more damage to fire-based enemies and take less damage from them – it’s a perfect combination! The lion transformation makes Jin much stronger and he can dash super fast but never forget all the other transformations. Jin can switch his form anytime and you’ll need to be smart to combine them in a most efficient way. Sometimes you need the power of a lion, sometimes the small size of a tiny snake to be successful. The further you go, the more transformations are needed to survive and everyone will know that the cursed kingdom can only be saved by Monster Boy.

10tons may have another Switch game ready to go next week. The European Switch eShop lists King Oddball for Switch, along with an October 30 release date.

King Oddball was originally made for mobile devices. You play as the “King”, who swings a boulder back and forth with his tongue. Release that button to cause havoc and crush as many targets as you can with the different boulders.

More information about King Oddball is below, plus a trailer.

A lengthy video has come in for The Mummy Demastered, WayForward’s next game releasing on Switch next week. View 35 minutes of footage below.

The Flame in the Flood recently made it to Switch. With the game having also been published on other platforms, Digital Foundry decided to see how the Switch version holds up.

Similar to other systems, The Flame in the Flood runs at an uncapped frame rate on Switch. That can lead to gameplay that isn’t always smooth. However, the title appears to be fairly comparable to the PlayStation 4 edition.

A new trailer is online for Real Farm. While the game is making its initial debut today, the Switch version is scheduled for 2018. View today’s video below.

Yono and the Celestial Elephants creator Niklas Hallin is cooking up a new patch for the game. Currently, the plan is to add in support for the Switch Pro Controller. Hallin says it’ll take some time for the patch to go through Nintendo’s submission process, “but it’s on its way.”
