New development information has come to light about Pokemon Pokopia, revealing that it was originally envisioned as a Nintendo Switch 1 game. Just like we’ve seen from other Pokemon leaks over the past few days, the details are coming from the Game Freak “Teraleak”.
The project first began in 2021 with the codename Oasis. At this point, Pokemon Pokopia was slated for Nintendo Switch 1. However, this isn’t the only piece of interesting information about the game’s history.
Tying in with the launch of Nintendo Switch 2, we’ve put together a complete list of games that support GameShare. We’ll be updating this post over time as well.
GameShare is brand new for Nintendo Switch 2. With the feature, select titles allow you to play with others even if they don’t own a copy of the game. Even more interesting, you can share games locally with those that have the original Nintendo Switch. It’s possible to link up with up to three other systems at a time. We’ll also mention that GameShare supports online play with other Nintendo Switch 2 systems.
It’s been over a year since we heard about the new Nintendo Switch physical release for Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus, but Limited Run Games has finally followed up with details. Remember that this has all of the data on a 32GB cartridge.
The company is planning a standard version, Steelbook Edition, and Collector’s Edition. With the Steelbook Edition, you’ll get the game, a steelbook, and slipcase. The collector’s edition has these same items plus the original soundtrack, USB floppy drive, BJ Blaskowicz and Supersoldat action figures, star card set, and replica album covers.
A handy graphics comparison has come in for the Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch 1 versions of Pokemon Legends: Z-A.
It was previously mentioned that on Nintendo Switch 2, the game features improved performance, enhanced resolution, and a smoother frame rate. However, there’s a bit more to things than that.
As more information comes online through a previous Game Freak hack, we now have insight into some behind-the-scenes happenings at the studio, including why Junichi Masuda is no longer directing Pokemon games.
You may recall that in 2018, Masuda indicated he was pretty much done with the role following Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu and Eevee. That has largely been the case – with Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl as exceptions.
As the embargo lifts for Pokemon Legends: Z-A, some interesting details have started to surface, including where the game fits in the Pokemon timeline.
Indie studio Midhard Games and publisher Games Harbor have just announced that their newest title, Adrenaline Rampage, a roguelike platformer set in a dark sci-fi city overrun by techno-zombies, is coming to Nintendo Switch on October 18.
Players can choose from three unique characters, upgrade their arsenal, and enhance their abilities to survive the onslaught. Play as a battle-hardened soldier equipped with up to five weapons, and unleash chaos across procedurally generated levels.
Nintendo is just a couple of days away from publishing Pokemon Legends: Z-A on Switch 2 and Switch, but before that happens, first reviews are starting to arrive. We have a roundup of some early verdicts.
Pokemon Legends: Z-A is the second “Legends” game following Arceus in 2022. Rather than going back in time in the Hisui region, we’re instead revisiting the modern day era of Lumiose City, which was previously featured in Pokemon X and Y. Various features are included such as Trainers and their Pokemon both moving around in real-time battles, new Mega Evolutions, Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokemon, the he Z-A Royale competition, and multiplayer battles.
Square Enix is back with another round of details for Octopath Traveler 0, this time covering Pardis III – the tyrannical monarch plotting to seize control of Orsterra – plus companions who will stand against his ambitions alongside you, and a few of the unique and unusual facilities you can construct through Town Building.
Here’s the full rundown:
Today, MicroProse and Terrible Toybox confirmed that Death By Scrolling will be released on Nintendo Switch. Launch timing will be shared later.
Death By Scrolling is a vertically scrolling roguelike RPG. Ron Gilbert, who was behind Monkey Island and more, is leading development.
