A promo website for a Toy Soldiers collection has gone live, featuring the games of: Toy Soldiers 2: Finest Hour, Toy Soldiers: Cold War HD and Toy Soldiers HD (separate games but the same website). All three are confirmed to be coming to Switch.

On the website the release dates listed are saying that Toy Soldiers 2: Finest Hour is coming in Autumn 2020, but it is unsure if this is for the PS4 and Xbox One edition or the Switch as well.

Toy Soliders HD is specifically mentioned to be a Switch version coming in Spring 2020 with these improvements included:

New content
New options
New difficulty
HD graphics and texture overhaul
Improved camera and controls
DLC included in the campaign flow

Finally, Toy Soldiers: Cold War HD is also a Switch version of the game, mentioned to be coming this Summer. Two trailers, one for Cold War and the first game (not the HD version), have been included below and more information can be found on the official teaser site here.

[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.
