Switch PC stream card

A ton of different games and products were shown off at the 2022 Tokyo Game Show this week, including an interesting device from Tassei that acts as a PC stream card for Switch.

Using it seems to be fairly straightforward. You simply plug the stream card into the cartridge slot on the Switch, and the device then performs some processing after receiving data from a PC. One game shown off was Stray – it was running on a nearby PC, and it could be played on a Switch. 4Gamer reports that was very little delay, which is obviously important.

The Switch version of NieR: Automata was on display at the 2022 Tokyo Game Show today. Along with a brand new trailer, extensive gameplay was shown during a live stream. Both are now up online.

Here’s some information about NieR: Automata:

Sonic Frontiers Super Sonic bosses

SEGA has spoken more about Super Sonic in Sonic Frontiers and what that form means for the game.

Earlier in the week, we got our first look at Super Sonic thanks to a new trailer revealed at the 2022 Tokyo Game Show. Director Morio Kishimoto has now indicated that there will be bosses in the game that “blue Sonic can’t even scratch” before the power-up is unlocked.

Infinity Strash Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai gp TGS

Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai was shown off at the 2022 Tokyo Game Show just a short while ago, providing a first look at gameplay. Earlier in the week, Square Enix confirmed plans to bring the game to Switch.

Players can go through Story Mode which lets them relive the original story from the anime / manga. Then in Temple of Memories, the game will have its own set encounters not found in the original story. The enemies and gimmicks change here each time you play.

Theatrhythm Final Bar Line DLC

Square Enix has confirmed more franchises that will be represented in the DLC tracks for Theatrhythm Final Bar Line, including The World Ends with You, Chrono, Mana, and Xenogears.

The rhythm action game was announced for Switch this week and we immediately heard about DLC plans. Square Enix will release a Digital Deluxe Edition as well as a Premium Digital Deluxe Edition. The DLC tracks should also be available individually.

The September 2022 Nintendo Direct aired earlier this week, and we want to hear your reactions and thoughts about the show.

Nintendo closed the event with its biggest game: Zelda. We finally have a full title (Tears of the Kingdom), a release date (May 12), and new footage was shown. Outside of Zelda, Nintendo announced Fire Emblem Engage, Pikmin 4, and Kirby’s Return to Dreamland Deluxe. It also revealed new N64 games for Nintendo Switch Online – including GoldenEye 007 – and shared updates for games like Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Mario Strikers: Battle League.

From third-parties, we got a number of new announcements as well. Some of the games include Octopath Traveler II, Theatrhythm Final Bar Line, and Atelier Ryza 3. Ports and remasters had a presence with the likes of It Takes Two, Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, Tunic, Rune Factory 3 Special, and Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life.
