[Review] Active DBG: Brave’s Rage
Posted on 2 years ago by Elias in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release Date: February 2, 2023
Developer: ISVR
Publisher: Astrolabe Games
Active DBG: Brave’s Rage is a little misleading. With cute characters and popping colors, what I expected to be a walk in the park pocket RPG is actually a grueling system that takes time and significant effort to master. Fast-paced fights coupled with roguelite mechanics makes for a bit of a steep learning curve, but the tutorial’s combat and defensive basics are drilled early – and there’s a reason you’re forced to play the tutorial when first starting the game: you need to learn these mechanics. You need to know all of the tools in your arsenal to make it through and come out victorious. The “perfect block” is especially useful in aiding survivability, but is that alone enough to get your champion(s) through with their lives?

Nintendo wins Switch Joy-Con drift class-action lawsuit
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
A class-action lawsuit for Switch Joy-Con drift has come to close, and the ruling comes in favor of Nintendo.
We had previously reported on the Sanchez et. al. v. Nintendo of America case about a year ago. Originally, it was ruled that two mothers in the case couldn’t proceed with a class action. However, the case continued, and it was ultimately about whether or not kids could sue. According to Axios, Switch comes with an End User License Agreement “which disallows lawsuits and forces aggrieved parties to go into arbitration, but the parents’ lawyers argued the kids were too young to be bound by it.”

Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon pre-order bonus guide
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon is only a couple of months away, and with that in mind we’re starting to hear about pre-order bonuses for the game. We’ll keep this post updated as information on that front is shared in the coming weeks.
Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon comes just a few months after Bayonetta 3. This title is taking an entirely different approach for the series, however. As the name implies, this is more of an origin story in which players go on a journey to save Cereza’s mother. It has a more colorful, storybook-inspired look with a focus on exploration, combat, and puzzle solving.
