Wonder Boy Anniversary Collection trailer

Wonder Boy Anniversary Collection has made it to Switch, and we have a new trailer to celebrate. This is a huge package containing 21 versions of six different games from the Wonder Boy series.

Additional information can be found in the following overview:

SpongeBob SquarePants Purple Lamp Studios

When you think of the bigger SpongeBob SquarePants games these days, Purple Lamp should come to mind. The studio worked on Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated in 2020, and is now about to release The Cosmic Shake just a couple of years later.

Despite having put out a pair of 3D platformers based on the franchise (though one was a remake) relatively close together, it sounds like the developer would like to continue working with the IP going forward. Andreas “AJ” Jarzabek, project manager, Purple Lamp Studios, told Nintendo Everything in a recent interview that it still has plenty of ideas left in the tank.

Heaven Dust Collection

Super Rare Games has announced the Heaven Dust Collection, which combines two games in one for a new physical release on Switch. You’ll be getting the original Heaven Dust and Heaven Dust 2 here.

4,000 copies will be produced. Each unit comes with both games on the cart, a full-color manual, interior artwork, an exclusive sticker, and trading cards. 

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure All Star Battle R update 1.5

Bandai Namco and CyberConnect2 have announced a new version 1.5 update for JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure All Star Battle R. This should be out on January 29, 2023.

Support is planned to be added for DLC character Rudol von Stroheim. On top of that, many changes are planned – almost all of which are character adjustments.

The full patch notes for the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure All Star Battle R version 1.5 update are as follows:

Inti Creates has gone live with the official opening movie for Grim Guardians: Demon Purge. There’s a song in the video, which features vocals from the Kamizono Sisters (Emi Uema and Chinami Hashimoto). Hakofactory handled the lyrics, Ippo Yamada was in charge of the composition, and Takuya (Ino Head Park) did the arrangement.
