The Jackbox Party Pack 9 release date

Today, Jackbox Games announced a final release date for The Jackbox Party Pack 9. We have confirmation that it will launch on October 20, 2022.

Speaking about the decision to wait so long for a release date, Jackbox Games explained: “It’s true that we usually release our new title around this time of year! In the time leading up to launch, we have to submit our game to all of the many platforms we’re available on. Until we pass the submission process, we’re unable to select a release date. Because we have a speedy annual release cycle, the time between submission and release is super quick! As soon as we can, we pick a date and share it with the world!”

Shatter Remastered Deluxe release date

Original (9/25): Thanks to a Switch eShop listing, Shatter Remastered Deluxe now has a release date. A store page has the game down for November 2, 2022.

We first heard about Shatter Remastered Deluxe back in May. It’s a redone version of the brick-breaking title with improved visuals, a modernized UI, a remixed and remastered soundtrack, and more.

It has been some time since we last heard about Trifox, when it was confirmed last year that it would come to Switch. Today, developer Glowfish Interactive and publisher Big Sugar have revealed that the game will launch on Switch eShop on October 13 in a new trailer.

NES icons Switch online

Original (9/5): To kick off the month of September, NES icons have now been added to the Nintendo Switch Online service. They can be redeemed with points on My Nintendo.

Icons are available based on characters – and that’s it. Typically we see backgrounds and frames as well, but there are none of those this time around. At least for wave one, fans can get their hands on icons for Super Mario Bros., Balloon Fight, Tennis, Baseball, Soccer, Volleyball, and Ice Hockey plus consoles and accessories from the era, from both inside and outside Japan. Each one will set you back 10 Platinum Points from My Nintendo.

Slap City

The platform fighter Slap City has received a surprise release on Switch. Ludosity hadn’t announced the title for Nintendo’s console previously, but it’s out now.

Ludosity was one of the developers behind Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl. This one plays a bit similarly, and features a variety of characters such as Ittle Dew and Princess Remedy. The game offers “customizable controls, online crossplay, single-player story modes, and a farcical amount of bonus content”.
