The lineup for Evo 2025 will be officially revealed next week, but it seems that the news has leaked early. A thumbnail for the announcement show was found on YouTube, seemingly outing all of the major games that will be featured at the fighting tournament.

Tails of Iron 2 shows off new spellcasting feature
Posted on 7 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch, Videos | 0 comments
United Label and Odd Bug Studio are offering up the latest look at Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter with a new trailer showing off the action RPG’s ‘Elementa’ spellcasting system. The team says this allows for greater combat options.
Lead designer Jack Bennett said: “We’ve been excitedly waiting to share the news for a while that spellcasting is coming to the Ratdom in Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter. Mastering the brutal combat of sword and spear against ferocious opposition is something fans of the original game were accustomed to, so for the follow-up we really wanted to introduce another layer of in-the-moment combat options for players to command and use against Arlo’s foes. The ‘Elementa’ magics of the gods, coupled with the addition of traps, gives players that extra layer to consider, and more.”

Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 7 months ago by Dawn in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: January 7, 2024
Developer: Falcom
Publisher: Marvelous
Despite arguably being dethroned as Falcom’s flagship series over the years by the Trails series, Ys has nonetheless seen a rising amount of success since the release of Lacrimosa of Dana. The standalone nature of the games make it an easy series to jump onto at any point, and although it’s a difficult series to access in its entirety outside of PC ports thanks to several of the games being decades old and trapped on outdated platforms, it’s gradually making its way onto modern consoles through remakes and remasters. Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana is the latest chapter in Adol’s expansive adventures to come to Nintendo Switch, and is another strong instalment despite its age and notably different gameplay style from its successors.
