Fear Effect Reinvented coming to Switch in 2018
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 15 Comments
Square Enix has announced today that Fear Effect Reinvented will be released on the Switch in 2018. This is a remake of Fear Effect, which was originally released on the PlayStation in 2000. The game is being developed by Sushee, who successfully Kickstarted a new Fear Effect sequel a while back. However, that game, Fear Effect Sedna, is currently not coming to the Switch.
Reinvented aims to keep the spirit of the original game alive by keeping some key features, like the fixed camera angles, but also making sure the game is up to today’s standards with improved visuals and controls. Watch the trailer for it below:

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 1 Comment
EuroVideo recently made a game called Ostwind, otherwise known as Windstorm. The title, based on the German book series / film, now appears to be Switch-bound.
A listing for Ostwind on Switch popped up on Amazon Germany. The page lacks information at present, but we can probably assume that it’s the same game as the Steam version. EuroVideo published Ostwind on the PC service last month.

Super Mario Odyssey getting an official guide, including collector’s edition
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 10 Comments
Update (8/20): The Super Mario Odyssey Collector’s Edition guide is currently $6.39 off on Amazon. Amazon Canada has it off for $19.92.
Original (8/15): Prima is continuing its relationship with Nintendo for another big guide. When Super Mario Odyssey launches at the end of October, it will be accompanied by a new guide.
The guide will come in two versions. Amazon lists a standard release as well as a collector’s edition (Amazon Canada here and here). The former is 320 pages and paperback while the latter is 336 pages and hardcover.
In terms of what the guide offers, that’s a bit of a mystery right now. It will obviously include gameplay information and tips, but Amazon’s description hasn’t updated. We’ll keep an eye on the listings for any future news.
Thanks to Wagner C for the tip.
