During DC Kids FanDome today, publisher Outright Games announced DC League of Superpets: The Adventures of Krypto and Ace. PHL Collective is handling development.
Little about the project is known at this time. It’s inspired by the Warner Bros. film planned for next summer, and has been licensed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment on behalf of DC. The 3D on-rails action game has players taking on the role of Super-Pets Krypto the Super-Dog and Ace as they take to the skies to protect the animal population of Metropolis from a new and looming threat. In DC League of Superpets, they’ll fly over the city and use their unique and powerful ability upgrades.

[Review] The Caligula Effect 2
Posted on 3 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: October 19, 2021
Developer: FuRyu
Publisher: NIS America
When The Caligula Effect first released in 2017 before receiving an enhanced port in the form of The Caligula Effect: Overdose in 2019 for Switch, one of the most exciting aspects about it was the fact that not only did it have this stunning art style, but also how it was being helmed by Persona writer Tadoshi Satomi. The game initially had a lot of appeal thanks to its vibrant color usage and idol-inspired dystopia that gave it a unique look by giving darkness and corruption bright colors – a palette that is typically used as an indicator for things that are heroic, harmless, or good. However, despite a respectable foundation, it suffered from repetitiveness, performance issues, and a lot of quality of life mechanics that simply were not there. Thankfully, The Caligula Effect 2 improves upon the original game’s problems and adds a lot of enhancements with a beautiful UI that’s intuitive. It also focuses more on putting actual gameplay in reasonably sized dungeons disguised as various Japanese districts and virtual landscapes without the egregiously poor pacing and constant stop-go nature of its predecessor.

Metroid Dread producer on why Samus doesn’t speak much in the game
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Those that have played Metroid Dread are aware that Samus doesn’t speak much in the game. This is actually fairly in line with the series as a whole, though we did get to hear more from her in Other M and through her inner thoughts in Fusion.
Yoshio Sakamoto, the producer of Metroid Dread, spoke about the decision to keep Samus relatively mute in a recent interview with GameSpot. He explained that limiting Samus’ words ties back to the game’s primary theme – that being dread of course. The team decided to focus on “acting or visuals” rather than words and voice.
Sakamoto’s full words on having Samus not speak much in Metroid Dread are below:

Square Enix now says native Kingdom Hearts Switch ports are “undecided”
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
There may still be a glimmer of hope for native Kingdom Hearts ports on Switch.
During the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate presentation unveiling Sora for the game last week, it was revealed that all of the major titles will be appearing on the console. But rather than going the native route, Square Enix is putting all of the games on the cloud. That means you’re required to have an internet connection to play, which many fans aren’t happy about.
It sounds like nothing is in the works at present, but speaking with Nintendo Life, Kingdom Hearts series producer Ichiro Hazama left the door slightly open to the possibility of native ports on Switch in the future. Although the team previously ran into issues such as “the storage capacity of the hardware”, true ports are “undecided” and Square Enix is “excited to hear feedback from our fans”.
Hazama’s full words:
