Fruitbus preview

As much as I enjoy cooking in real life, cooking in video games often is either so simple (i.e. combining ingredients in a menu) or so complex (i.e. Cooking Simulator) that it can struggle to truly feel fun. Maybe that’s why it was so easy for me to fall in love with Fruitbus, an upcoming first person adventure game that tasks the player with running a food truck business in a playful world. I had a blast demoing the game, and I can’t wait to spend more time exploring the game’s tropical paradise, hunting for exotic ingredients, and cooking up a storm for the locals.

Octopath Traveler 1 2 physical bundle

A new mini collection has been revealed for the Octopath Traveler series in which both games will be bundled together on a single cartridge.

This is being planned for Asia with an English cover. The games will support English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese language options. Just like with all Nintendo Switch titles, the bundle is region free, meaning it is compatible with all consoles.

Bubble Ghost Remake trailer

SelectaPlay and Nakama Game Studio are back with a launch trailer for Bubble Ghost Remake. Originally made for the Atari ST in 1987, the title is now back with new graphics, revamped audio design, and hours of new content. 

Everything you need to know in the following overview:

A little while back, an interesting piece went up on Nintendo’s recruitment website from Taku Ito, who worked on art for Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Ito discussed what it was like creating different images for the game, and more specifically, concepts for the boxart (which also acts as the key art).

Being able to work on the game sounds like it was a dream come true for Ito as someone who’s loved the series since he was a child. Still, that doesn’t mean it was easy. Ito said it was a challenge to highlight the elements of “adventuring in a mysterious world, while also mixing with the charm of the traditional side-scrolling gameplay.”

Even though there’s a massive Nintendo Direct coming in less than a week for Switch 2, a separate presentation took place a dew days ago for Switch 1 games. We’re interested in knowing how you felt about the event.

From Nintendo, the company had a couple of new game announcements. Rhythm Heaven Groove and Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream were unveiled, but interestingly enough, both are coming in 2025. We also got our best look at Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, which is still planned for 2025.

Third-parties showed up with several announcements of their own. Bandai Namco brought several games to the presentation with Patapon 1 + 2 Replay, Everybody’s Golf: Hot Shots, Tamagotchi Plaza, and Shadow Labyrinth. Other notable games include MARVEL Cosmic Invasion, Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army, Witchbrook, and No Sleep For Kaname Date – From AI: The Somnium Files. Catch up on all of the announcements here.

Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark trailer

Inti Creates put out a launch trailer for Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark, which debuted this week. This follows the previous Nintendo Switch title, Demon Purge, which launched in 2023.

The Nintendo eShop listing provides the following information about it:

Nintendo Selects Switch

With Nintendo Switch 2’s big presentation not too far from now, we’re on the verge of a brand-new console generation. And this one is confirmed to have backwards compatibility with existing Nintendo Switch games, which means there will be a huge library of games to play on the new system immediately – even if they’re not all new. We’d expect sales for standard Nintendo Switch software would start to fall off after a few years of the Switch 2 being out. This means it would be an absolutely perfect time to bring back the Nintendo Selects line, which we saw on 3DS and Wii U for several first-party titles.

Following today’s Nintendo Direct presentation for March 2025, we’re publishing a dedicated post to roundup notable pre-orders. A number of new games were announced and are beginning to go up at retailers.

This post will be updated over the next couple of days with notable listings. On top of that, we’ll be putting everything into our weekly pre-order post on Sunday.

Below is the current roundup:

Minecraft has a new movie coming out is in exactly one week, and to promote the film, brand new DLC has been added to the game. All players can access it right now for free.

The new DLC has players going into an arcade to compete in elytra races, survive the night, and sneak into a woodland mansion. While it all can be experienced alone, you can have friends join in the fun as well. There’s also a leaderboard to keep things fresh.

Here’s more information about the new A Minecraft Movie DLC:
