Posted on 2 years ago by Jarop(@gamrah) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo hardware has always had striking color palettes dating all the way back to the GameCube with its distinct indigo, platinum silver, and spice orange launch lineup. Nintendo designer Sakai Yurkio gave us a peak into what’s involved with choosing these memorable colors in a Nintendo keyword article, explaining the thought process behind the coral Nintendo Switch Lite that debuted alongside Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Hell Architect coming to Switch
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Hell Architect, which first debuted last year, is now making the jump to Switch. We don’t have a concrete release date yet, but it’s looking like we’ll be seeing it around the fall.
Hell Architect has players taking on the role of a “hell manager” who is “tasked with developing the underworld in a way that would make Lucifer himself fall off his chair.” The experience is about “building and managing your own hell” – hardly surprising given the official title. Inspirations include Dungeon Keeper, Oxygen Not Included, and Prison Architect.

Frank and Drake was announced in September 2021 and was planned for this past spring. That didn’t happen, so it’s true that the title is seeing a delay.

WRC 9 FIA World Rally Championship update out now (version 1.2.0)
Posted on 2 years ago by Nicolas in News, Switch | 0 comments
Seemingly out of nowhere, it seems that WRC 9 FIA World Rally Championship has received a new update, and it’s a pretty major one too. This update is adding split-screen multiplayer, as well as synchronized online multiplayer functionality.
Fans of the game may recall that both of these features were absent from the game at launch, with the developers committing themselves to adding these features as a post-launch update. It is certainly odd that this update has taken well over a year to release, particularly when considering that WRC 10 has even launched on the platform in that timespan, but it seems the developers are making due on that promised content.
