Taiwan shop lists Sonic Frontiers for November 15, DLC mentioned
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Original: A Taiwan Kuji shop has not only listed a potential release date for Sonic Frontiers via a promotional image, but has also indicated that the game will be receiving DLC.
The retailer has the title down for launch on November 15, 2022. Multiple rumblings are pointing to that date, but we still don’t have confirmation from SEGA. The PlayStation database also listed the November 15 date at one point, and while everything could be a placeholder, it’s looking quite possible at this point.

Posted on 2 years ago by Nicolas in News, Switch | 0 comments
Initially, Melty Blood: Type Lumina’s latest update featuring new playable characters Neco-Arc and Mash Kyrielight was set to release today, August 19. While this update has gone live for most platforms, it seems something has fallen through for the Switch version.
As announced by the developers, the newest update for Melty Blood: Type Lumina, including both the new characters and balance changes, has been delayed for Switch. The update is still set to release on the platform, but no new date for it has been provided, with the developers assuring that they’ll provide more information once a new schedule is set.

Wave Race 64 has just released for Nintendo Switch Online, and we can now take a look at how this version of the game compares visually to past iterations. In this Gamexplain video, the Switch version is first compared to the N64 original, before then being compared to the more modern Wii U version.
As is expected, the Switch version is certainly an improvement over the more jagged N64 original, and since Wii U ports of N64 games tended to make things a little darker, the Switch brightens it up in comparison to be truer to its initial release.
Here is some more information about Wave Race 64:
