Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Richard in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: August 19, 2025
Developer: WayForward
Publisher: WayForward
After twenty years of trying, WayForward’s loveable half-genie hero’s lost adventure has finally made its way to consoles in Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution. Originally in development almost immediately after the completion and release of the original Shantae on Game Boy Color, Risky Revolution was intended to be the second entry in the series, but due to mitigating circumstances, the GBA-developed title was put on indefinite hiatus. A lot of ideas and concepts from this game were reused in future additions to the series, like Risky’s Revenge and Half-Genie Hero, but series creator Matt Bozen always maintained his hope and desire to see it make its way to release. Now in 2025, we finally get to see what we had missed out on decades ago.
Best retro Nintendo games to play on Switch 2 and Switch
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Ethan in Features, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
When you think of Nintendo Switch 2, you’re probably thinking of all the new games confirmed for the system – and that’s completely understandable. Generally speaking, Nintendo releases one new major title per month to spread them out. If you’ve played tons of Nintendo Switch games and finished the latest Switch 2 game, what are you supposed to play in the time between? That’s where Switch Online’s Nintendo Classic range comes in.
Nintendo has added a lot of games to their NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Game Boy, and Game Boy Advance platforms, and it’s a great idea to try out some older titles while you wait for the next new one. Their lineup of retro games is about to get a whole lot better, too: not only are GameCube games starting to release on the system, but it’s also got a built-in microphone, which theoretically makes Nintendo DS games possible as well. So today, we’re going over some of the best offerings on Nintendo Switch Online plus some new games Nintendo could realistically add over the Switch 2’s (hopefully) long lifespan.

Tales of Xillia Remastered reveals Nintendo Switch frame rate, resolution
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Following up on this week’s announcement of Tales of Xillia Remastered, Bandai Namco has confirmed the game’s frame rate and resolution on Nintendo Switch.
Frame rate is where fans might be disappointed with the final result. It turns out that the RPG will run at 30 FPS on Nintendo’s platform (and that could fluctuate depending on what’s happening on screen). As it turns out, this is actually a downgrade from the original PlayStation 3 release. Much of the game did run at 30 FPS back in the day, but battles were 60 FPS – and it would have been great to see something similar on Nintendo Switch.
