[Review] Shantae and the Seven Sirens
Posted on 4 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: May 28, 2020
Developer: WayForward
Publisher: WayForward
It’s crazy to think that it’s been almost twenty years now since the half-genie hero, Shantae, was introduced to the gaming world way back on the Game Boy Color. The debut entry not only laid the foundation of what would become a long-running and incredible platforming franchise, but at the time pushed pixel art to the absolute limits of its associated hardware. The series laid dormant for quite some time before Risky’s Revenge popped back up in 2010, and since then has seen a ton of success with a healthy schedule of releases. Now Shantae is back on an all new adventure that fine-tunes the HD art from Half-Genie Hero, and brings another incredible Metroidvania that sees new and old faces alike joining in to save the day.

Dead by Daylight to add cross-play between Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Dead by Daylight has thus far been separate experiences on all platforms. Soon, however, players on all systems will be able to come together. Behaviour Interactive announced today that will be supporting cross-play later this year. Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC will all be involved. A search feature and add friends feature are planned to search for friends from other games and add them directly to your friends list, and from there you’ll be able to move to Survive with Friends and custom parties.
Cross-progression is also on the table as a possibility for the future. Unlike cross-play though, nothing is set in stone. The team is currently talking with the different platform holders about potentially implementing the feature.
Behaviour Interactive also revealed a massive collaboration for Dead by Daylight which is bringing in Silent Hill. We have more information about that here.
