Risk of Rain 2

Risk of Rain 2 players on Switch won’t have to wait much longer for the game’s major Artifacts Update. Announced earlier today, it’ll go live tomorrow, June 23.

Here’s a rundown of the features from the new update:

Senran Kagura Reflexions

Senran Kagura Reflexions was previously made available on the Switch eShop. Now, however, a physical version is also happening.

Limited Run Games will be taking pre-orders for Senran Kagura Reflexions on June 30 beginning at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET. It’ll be up for a four-week reservation period.

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit

During its EA Play Live presentation, it was announced that EA will be putting seven games on Switch over the next year. Two were confirmed at the time: Apex Legends and Burnout Paradise Remastered. The other titles weren’t named, but since Lost in Random and FIFA 21 Legacy Edition were confirmed for Switch after the presentation, that leaves three mystery projects.

VentureBeat claims to have insight into EA’s plans. The site has accurately reported on Nintendo rumors this year and indicated that Apex Legends would be announced for Switch, which was later confirmed during EA Play Live.

Spongebob: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated

System: Switch
Release date: June 23, 2020
Developer: Purple Lamp
Publisher: THQ Nordic


SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom would seem like an unlikely candidate for a remastering (or a rehydration) considering that – to the credit of the original – it’s merely an above average licensed 3D platformer of the GameCube generation. These games have almost completely vanished, but for its time these games were everywhere. I have an especially vague sense of nostalgia with this game: I actually can’t remember if I played Battle for Bikini Bottom specifically or if it was any of the other countless similar SpongeBob games that were released in the half decade following it. To further complicate this nostalgia, Battle for Bikini Bottom doesn’t just evoke the other SpongeBob games of its generation, but games like the now-forgotten Tak and the Power of Juju (which, as an aside, one might say was a trailblazer in the modern video-game-to-failed-TV-series pipeline.) Put aside the modern visual overhaul of Rehydrated in the Unreal Engine, which is competent but less than optimal on the Switch, and the game seems frozen in time. Rehydrated still feels like a game from 2003, but with the relative rarity of its kind in 2020, it’s hardly worse for it.

Ahead of the upcoming release, we have a look at the Switch verson of SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated in action. View a half hour of gameplay below.

SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated is due out on June 23.
