Palworld dev says it hasn’t received any complaints from Nintendo or Pokemon Company, Switch version would be “hard”
Posted on 8 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Takuro Mizobe, the head of Palworld developer Pocketpair, recently said that the studio hasn’t received any complains from Nintendo or The Pokemon Company, and also commented briefly on a potential Switch version.
Since its reveal, Palworld has drawn plenty of comparisons to Pokemon for its creature designs. While not specifically mentioning the game specifically, The Pokemon Company issued a statement (read it in full here) a few months ago stating that it would “investigate and take appropriate measures to address any acts that infringe on intellectual property rights”. At least for now, it seems nothing came of that.

Balatro Switch physical release revealed, pre-orders open
Posted on 8 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Balatro is getting a brand new physical release as part of a “Special Edition”, and pre-orders are starting to go live.
The rollout of the announcement took place in a bit of an odd fashion. PlayStack technically shared the news during a Giant Bomb at Nite show a couple of weeks back. The publisher itself still never put out an official announcement, but now that the news is out there, perhaps that isn’t important.

Beyond Good & Evil: Anniversary Edition is finally here, and a video from GameXplain offers up a graphics comparison between that new version and the previous HD release. The new Switch version is going up against the Xbox 360 HD version.
While graphics are one of the main attractions, remember that Ubisoft is also giving fans plenty of other reasons to return to the action adventure classic. The title implemented quality of life improvements including autosave, and cross-save across all platforms. Plus, it packs in a new Speedrun Mode and an Anniversary Gallery.

[Review] Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble
Posted on 8 months ago by Nicholas Serpa in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: June 25, 2024
Developer: Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios
Publisher: SEGA
Considering it’s been twelve years since the last original Super Monkey Ball game released, I half-expected that Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble might try and and take some big risks, maybe try and swing for the fences with some crazy new single-player modes or some sort of other significant mechanical shakeup. Instead of reinventing the wheel – or indeed, the ball – Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble is more focused on just being a really well-crafted Super Monkey Ball game, one that seems to understand the importance of executing its few core gameplay modes as tightly as possible while cutting out most of the extraneous distractions from other games in the series. With a robust and challenging single-player Adventure Mode, a smattering of simple yet well-designed Battle Mode activities, and robust multiplayer support across the whole package, Banana Rumble is exactly what I had hoped it would be: an a-peel-ing blast from start to finish.
