[Review] Triangle Strategy
Posted on 3 years ago by Amit Dhindsa(@Agnezenn) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: March 4, 2022
Developer: Square Enix / Artdink
Publisher: Square Enix
Square Enix’s Team Asano has been a force to be reckoned with on Switch. Their debut on the system, Octopath Traveler, was a showpiece at the first real Switch blowout in January 2017 and released the following year to great acclaim. Returning to the glory of their 3DS days, the highly requested Bravely Default 2 came out just last year. Now the third entry in the team’s Switch JRPG trifecta returns to Octopath’s HD-2D style, but delivers gameplay so different that it might as well be considered a different genre. That certainly doesn’t hold it back however: different as it is, Triangle Strategy is a tremendous overall package and possibly Team Asano’s finest work yet.

UK: Metroid Dread is series’ best-selling 2D entry, third biggest overall
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
There’s a bit of news to report regarding Metroid Dread’s sales performance in the UK. This is based on data provided by GfK.
The Switch title has already overtaken past entries in the series to become the best-selling 2D entry. Additionally, it’s the third biggest Metroid game overall – it’s only behind Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 3. Since digital sales aren’t included, it’s expected that Metroid Dread will soon be the top Metroid game in the UK as a whole if it isn’t already.

[Let’s Talk] Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass DLC wave 1 impressions
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch | 0 comments
It’s crazy to think that after five years, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has started to receive some major content. Nintendo kicked off the game’s brand new Booster Course Pass this week. Two cups – with four tracks each – were added a day or so go. The fun doesn’t stop there, as we’ll be getting seven more waves by the end of 2023. With 48 remastered tracks coming to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in total, needless to say there’s a lot to look forward to.
With the first wave of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass DLC having been dropped, how many of you have given the new tracks a shot? What are your thoughts? Which courses do you personally want to see added in the future? Let us know in the comments below.
[Review] Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pack DLC (wave 1)
Posted on 3 years ago by Nicholas Serpa in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: March 18, 2022
Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has sold roughly a bajillion copies since it launched on Switch back in 2017 (and that’s on top of the sales of the original Wii U version), so I had been hoping for years that the game would receive some new content at some point in its life, but it was never a guarantee. Finally, though, that moment is here: this week marks the arrival of eight new courses in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, as part of a new DLC pack that Nintendo promises will eventually result in 48 (!) new courses being added to the game by the end of 2023. So how do the new tracks fare so far – and will these new courses be enough to get the community excited about Mario Kart again?

Stranded Deep, which ended up on Switch last August, never saw a physical release. However, it looks like that’ll be changing in a matter of days.
Retailers have started to list a physical version of Stranded Deep and it looks like developer Beam Team Games will be handling distribution directly. Assuming what’s mentioned is accurate, the game will hit store shelves on March 25, 2022.
