Switch eShop

Nintendo’s latest maintenance schedule for the week of July 16, 2023 is now available. A bunch of different sessions have been added – probably the most we’ve seen in awhile. Switch will be impacted in various ways throughout the rest of the month, but that extends to 3DS and Wii U a bit as well.

The full maintenance schedule for the week of July 16, 2023 is as follows:

EarthX gameplay

Atelier Marie Remake review

System: Switch
Release Date: July 13, 2023
Developer: Gust
Publisher: Koei Tecmo


Atelier has been around for over twenty five years, and even though it’s only felt like it’s really started to take off in the last five or so, it’s had a rich history with its slice-of-life RPG experience that is as cozy as it is adventurous and riveting. With the success of recent titles like Atelier Ryza and Atelier Sophie 2, the series has grown exponentially in both detail and scope. However, it’s the humble beginnings that really define how and why the franchise is so unique and special. Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg now brings the series’ debut title to the modern day in a gorgeous fashion, and does so in such a grandiose way that it’s a contender for being the best Atelier game in some time and on Switch.

Oxenfree II: Lost Signals gameplay

A new batch of gameplay is now available for Oxenfree II: Lost Signals that shows it running on Switch. The title officially arrived this week.
