[Review] Red Faction Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered
Posted on 5 years ago by Jakob Vujovic(@jakovujo) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: June 24, 2019
Developer: Kaiko / Volition
Publisher: THQ Nordic
Red Faction Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered is the latest re-release of a last generation game from THQ Nordic, if the stunningly awful pun didn’t reveal that much. Saints Row The Third held up as a fine example of last generation open world design, even as its particular irreverent sensibilities often felt like a relic – the game showed its age but it was nonetheless fun to play.

Rumor: Amazon Mexico lists Luigi’s Mansion 3 for October 4
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo has yet to give Luigi’s Mansion 3 a proper release date. Aside from confirming a 2019 launch, the company hasn’t said when exactly we can expect the Switch game.
Amazon Mexico may have some insight. According to the retailer, Luigi’s Mansion 3 is on track for October 4.
We’re generally wary of posting unconfirmed retailer release dates, but there could be something to Amazon Mexico’s listing. For one thing, the site previously leaked South Pack: The Fractured But Whole and RPG Maker MV for Switch. October 4 is also a Friday, so it’s a realistic date. We would still advise maintaining some skepticism, but it’ll be interesting to see if this pans out.
