Casual Bit Games was looking to fund its Ghouls N’ Ghosts and Wonder Boy 3-inspired action title, Battle Princess Madelyn, through Kickstarter. In just five days, the $45,000 goal was reached. Battle Princess Madelyn is now officially coming to both Switch and Wii U.
Battle Princess Madelyn is getting close to doubling its original goal, and 25 days remain in the campaign. A number of stretch goals have been hit, including extra modes, sidequests, enemies, and more.
You can show your support for Battle Princess Madelyn on Kickstarter here.
Blossom Tales not ruled out for Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 3 Comments
Following a few years of development, Blossom Tales from Castle Pixel and publisher FDG Entertainment is due out on Steam this month. That’s where it’s staying for now, but a Switch version isn’t out of the cards. When asked about Switch, FDG showed willingness to port it to additional platforms if it does well on Steam.
FDG is already pledging support for Switch with Monster Boy and Oceanhorn. Seeing Blossom Tales on Switch might not be a crazy thought, especially given its Zelda inspirations.
Thanks to Noel for the tip.
[Let’s Talk] Which indie games are you looking forward to on Switch?
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch eShop | 50 Comments
The verdict is out on just how much third-party support Switch will receive. If there’s anything we can count on though, it’d be indie support.
The Switch Nindies Showcase from the end of February proved just how much smaller developers are comitted to the platform. SteamWorld Dig 2, Runner3, Flipping Death, and Wargroove were just some of the games announced.
These aren’t dinky little games we’re talking about here. The SteamWorld series has received wide acclaim. Everyone knows just how good the Runner games are. Flipping Death is the spiritual successor to Stick it to the Man. Wargroove should interest Advance Wars fans who haven’t been shown much love lately.
And again, this is just a tip of the iceberg. Yooka-Laylee, Stardew Valley, Pocket Rumble, Shakedown Hawaii, TumbleSeed, Graceful Explosion Machine, Overcooked, and Thumper are among the many titles in the pipeline. Even better, most of these titles are coming this year.
So what’s on your radar right now? Are there any games in particular that tickle your fancy? Let us know below!
Highlights from last week’s topic: What are you playing? – March 2017
The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ file size
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 1 Comment
The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ has a very neat physical release, though some fans might be more inclined to pick up the game physically. That especially goes for our friends in Europe where it’s not yet available. In any case, if you choose to purchase The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ from the eShop, you’ll need 610MB of free space.
Video: A look at the brightness improvements to Arcade Archives Neo Geo games with new patch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch eShop, Videos | 3 Comments
The Neo Geo games from Hamster’s Arcade Archives series weren’t in the best of shape when they initially launched on Switch. Players reported issues with the sound, but even more significant were problems relating to brightness.
It didn’t take long for Hamster to address the situation thankfully. All of its Neo Geo games received patches a few days ago to remedy things. You can see just how big of an improvement was made with the video below.

Mini Metro dev “considering” the game for Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 5 Comments
Dinosaur Polo Club created its “subway layout game” Mini Metro a couple of years ago. Now it would appear that it has a chance of making its way to Switch.
Regarding a Switch edition, Dinosaur Polo Club said it’s currently under consideration. Since the port would be “a big project,” the team has “to think it through” before fully committing.
@SuperNintendad We're considering it, but it’s would a big project that we need to think through. Definitely would be neat though! -NB

Mini Metro is somewhat of an obscure game. You can see what it’s like for yourself below.
