Ring Shot mode has been added as something entirely new to the game. You can battle against opponents while trying to pass the ball through rings and wrack up your score. Yoshi’s Ring Shot is available as well, and is being featured in the Co-op Challenge mode. Finally, there’s a new opening movie in the game’s story mode.

Trials Rising

Ubisoft has issued a new update for Trials Rising on Switch. With version 1.0.3, the game has implemented a number of improvements and fixes.

Below are the full patch notes:

Since the Switch’s launch two years ago, a few companies have become associated with porting games to the system. One such example is Virtuos. Virtuos has helped bring over L.A. Noire, Dark Souls Remastered, Starlink: Battle for Atlas, and more.

Speaking with EDGE last month, Virtuos Shanghai general manager Elijah Freeman said that the studio’s games have done “exceptionally well” – not only critically, but also commercially. Freeman added that the success has led to more opportunities, and believes things will pick up even more after Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2 HD Remaster launch on Switch.

A physical version of Redeemer: Enhanced Edition was announced for Switch last month. Now thanks to Amazon UK we have a look at the boxart. Check out the packaging image above.

Redeemer: Enhanced Edition can be pre-ordered on Amazon UK here.

Final Fantasy X HD Remaster recently launched in Japan, with the overseas release taking place at the start of next week. Get a look at a bunch of footage from the classic RPG running on Switch below.
