Nuclear Blaze

Red Art Games has announced that it’s teaming up with Deepnight Games, and as part of that, Nuclear Blaze will be appearing on Switch. A release is planned for 2023.

Nuclear Blaze was made by Sébastien Bénard, creator of Dead Cells. It’s a 2D firefighting game that kicks off as you investigate and look for survivors, though “the unexpected presence of an unknown military facility might somewhat affect your plans.”

We have the following overview with additional details:

Dungeons 4

Publisher Kalypso Media, along with developer Realmforge Studios, today announced Dungeons 4. The latest entry in the dungeon sim series is set to arrive on Switch in 2023.

Here’s an overview of the game:

Publisher Modus Games and developer PetitFabrik have provided an update on Kukoos: Lost Pets, a new 3D platformer for Switch. Both sides confirmed today that the game will be released this December. Additionally, a new trailer has come in.

It’s been a year since we first heard about Kukoos: Lost Pets given that the game was announced for Switch last September. You can read more about it below.

Live A Live Nintendo Virtual Console

According to Live A Live director Takashi Tokita, a big reason the HD-2D remake of Live A Live came to be was due to Nintendo’s interest in having it return on the Wii U Virtual Console for its 20th anniversary in 2015. Apparently the RPG had a number of supporters within the company.

Tokita shared the news during a recent live stream. He indicated that the remake wouldn’t have happened if Square Enix didn’t go out of its way to initially bring back Live A Live for its Virtual Console appearance. 

Microids has reconfirmed that Flashback 2 is planned to launch in 2023.

Today’s update may cause some confusion as this was the most recent release window for the game. It was on track for 2022 when it was initially announced in May 2021, but as of June this year, it was already moved to 2023. Microids’ status report today makes it sound like the delay was just determined now, though we know that isn’t the case.

It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. This week, Splatoon 3 is on top for Switch games while Persona 5 Royal for the console makes its first appearance.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between July 28 and August 3.
