Curse of the Sea Rats bosses

PQube and Petoons Studio today shared a final release date for Curse of the Sea Rats, and we also have a new bosses trailer.

Curse of the Sea Rats was originally planned for 2019. However, it has been delayed a couple of times. Most recently, in September, it was pushed back to early 2023.

A new update for Breakers Collection has been announced for Switch, bringing a number of bug fixes and quality of life updates to the title. Full details for the update, which will launch on January 26, can be found below:

Nintendo of Europe announced on Twitter this morning that Snipperclips will be the next Nintendo Switch Online Game Trial in Europe. This should apply to all PAL regions, and will be available to all users with an active subscription from January 27, when the current Online Game Trial, Uno, is set to end. Any progress made in the game can be transferred to the full version.

Sonic boost

With the Sonic games, something that’s been pretty common across many of the series entries is the boost mechanic. This lets players move about at an incredibly fast speed and it’s pretty helpful for taking down enemies.

Interestingly, it’s possible that SEGA could do away with the mechanic in future Sonic games. Sonic Frontiers director Morio Kishimoto, who has been pretty talkative with fans on Twitter, has indicated that a lot of consideration was given to boost in the latest title, and the team ultimately decided to include it. However, he did say that he’d be interested in making a Sonic game that doesn’t have boost.


Dokapong Kingdom Connect west English

Original (1/19): Idea Factory just confirmed that Dokapon Kingdom: Connect will be released in English in the west. Fans in North America and Europe can pick up the title this spring.

Dokapon Kingdom: Connect was revealed for Switch earlier in the week. Although it was only announced for Japan at the time, an overseas launch was thought to be happening as a rating for the game previously leaked in Germany.

This month’s EDGE review scores are as follows:

Into the Breach update 1.2.88

Subset Games has announced a new version 1.2.88 update for Into the Breach. This should be rolling out within the next couple of weeks on Switch.

The upcoming update is largely intended to address a variety of issues. As part of that, a Switch-specific problem will be addressed with the Developer Console.

The full patch notes for the Into the Breach version 1.2.88 are as follows:

Fire Emblem Engage sales

Original (1/22): This week’s UK software sales are in, and it includes the first report on Fire Emblem Engage.

The new Switch title did manage to debut at #1. However, launch sales are 31 percent lower than Fire Emblem: Three Houses. While that may seem disappointing, Fire Emblem Engage earned the second biggest launch for the series in the UK. Fire Emblem Awakening is third in case you’re curious.

It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. This week, Ys IX and Suikoden I&II HD Remaster appear for the first time.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between December 29 and January 11.
