8-Bit Adventures 2 release date

Critical Games today provided a release date for the console versions of 8-Bit Adventures 2, including Switch. It’ll be ready to go on October 16, 2024.

8-Bit Adventures 2 has been a long time coming as we first reported on it nearly three years ago. Now after the PC version debuted, Switch players will be able to get their hands on the RPG in a matter of weeks.

We have the following information about the game:

Shikhondo: Youkai Rampage

CFK and Deerfarm are working together on a new Switch version of Shikhondo: Youkai Rampage, the two sides announced today. No release window is available at this time.

Shikhondo: Youkai Rampage is a vertically scrolling shoot ’em up (bullet hell) game in which players need to avoid the attacks of Youkai escaping the depths of hell, acquire souls, and defeat waves of enemies with strong attacks. This follows Shikhondo: Soul Eater (read about it here), which came to Switch a few years ago.

Hamster will release VS. Battle City as the latest Arcade Archives game on Switch, the company announced today. A worldwide release is planned for September 12, 2024.

Piczle Cross: Rune Factory

Piczle Cross: Rune Factory is in development for Switch, publisher Rainy Frog and developer Score Studios just announced. A release is planned for 2025.

Piczle Cross: Rune Factory will offer 300 nonogram puzzles. The game has a few other aspects to it as well, including fighting and capturing monsters, customizing your farm, and more.
