Switch

Nintendo announced Everybody 1-2 Switch a little while back without much fanfare, but is gearing up for launch with an actual video. With the “First Look Party” trailer, sixteen content creators from around the world gathered in Tokyo, Japan for some multiplayer action.

Here’s what Nintendo has shared about Everybody 1-2 Switch thus far:

NASCAR Arcade Rush

GameMill Entertainment today announced NASCAR Arcade Rush, a new arcade-style racing game for Switch. It will be available later in 2023.

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has spoken on the performance of Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, and believes the company should have hold off on releasing the game until Switch’s successor launched.

Speaking with GamesIndustry, Guillemot mentioned how Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle was already available on Switch, and the sequel resulted in “two similar experiences on one machine.” He further mentioned “Nintendo [has advised] that it’s better to do one iteration on each machine.”

Guillemot’s full words:

Ruggnar physical

Today, Red Art Games announced that it will produce a physical version for Ruggnar on Switch. It will be available on January 5, 2024.

Two versions are in the works. Alongside a standard edition, there’ll also be a limited Deluxe Edition. Copies of the latter include the game, a wraparound box sleeve, a notebook, and a double-sided poster. Only 3,000 copies will be made.

Frank and Drake release date

Frank and Drake, the rotoscoped narrative adventure starring an unlikely duo solving a conspiracy, now has a release date. Publisher Chorus Worldwide and developer Appnormals announced today that it will be available for Switch on July 20, 2023.

Frank and Drake was originally planned for Spring 2022 before being quietly delayed to February of this year. It saw another delay, but now that we have an actual date, the game shouldn’t be pushed back any further.

Nintendo Direct June 21

Nintendo just announced that a new Nintendo Direct presentation will air tomorrow, June 21. It’ll kick off at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET / 3 PM in the UK / 4 PM in Europe.

According to Nintendo, the new event will be about 40 minutes long. It’ll mainly focus on games launching in 2023, including Pikmin 4.

Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life review

System: Switch
Release date: June 27, 2023
Developer: Marvelous
Publisher: XSEED / Marvelous


Story of Seasons has had a series of ups and downs as the franchise has tried to find its footing in a genre it once had a monopoly on. It’s true that each new title has offered an exciting prospect of things to come within the series itself. It’s also always seemed to go against the idea of being a market leader once more in favor of keeping things traditional, but much that stubborn thinking may be to its detriment. This rears its head in the series’ new remake, Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life.

Pikmin 4 multiplayer Unreal Engine

Pikmin 4 is about a month away, and new details are starting to surface confirming aspects such as split-screen multiplayer and how the game was made with Unreal Engine 4. Some notable tidbits are included on the official download card that’s now popping up across Japanese retailers.

In terms of actual gameplay, split-screen multiplayer is now confirmed. Additionally, a second player is able to provide support by shooting with a reticle. Another aspect pointed out on the card is how you can enter a house. Finally, there’ll be new treasures like fidget spinners, origami, and beach balls.
