It’s always refreshing when developers make an effort to shake up a genre by injecting something new into it. It often yields unexpected surprises, or at the very least a different experience, which is equally as valuable in an overcrowded genre. Moonstone Island is another game that has taken the bold and ambitious move of throwing half a dozen different gameplay mechanics from assorted genres into a blender to see what comes out. The result is nowhere near as messy as that implies, but more care could have been taken with what was included nonetheless.
Nintendo won’t say who’s developing Mario & Luigi: Brothership, but the company has offered up a sliver of information.
As relayed by Game File, the Big N says that “some of the original developers who worked on the franchise are involved in the development”. Nintendo noted that further information will be included in the credits at release.
Following its arrival on Switch this week, gameplay has come in for Everafter Falls. The farm/life story-driven adventure RPG launched nearly four years after it was announced for the system.
Here’s an official overview of the title:
A whole bunch of gameplay is now in for the just-released Switch version of Moonstone Island. The creature-collecting life-sim has received an hour of footage.

The Money Money Badge is one of the most useful Badges Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door has to offer. It drastically increases the number of Coins you earn after a battle, and there are two instances of these Badges that you can collect. You can get the first one by grinding Piantas at the Pianta Parlor, which is fairly self-explanatory. The second one, however, is given as a prize via a Boo in the Creepy Steeple. If you can pass his quiz, you’ll eventually receive a second Money Money Badge.
One of the more surprising announcements out of the Summer Game Fest showcase was the reveal of the new Switch game LEGO Horizon Adventures. Although it was leaked previously, no one expected it to appear on Nintendo’s console. Yet PlayStation’s big franchise is now crossing over with LEGO, and it will indeed be available on Switch before the year is over.
Guerrilla Games narrative director James Windeler was recently asked to weigh in on the announcement. Ultimately, it sounds like the decision to support Switch was to reach more potential players, including families and younger gamers. Windeler also said the team “received very helpful support from Nintendo.”
Smile Fest 2024 is currently in progress where a ton of figures are on display. Some are brand new announcements, others are now shown in prototype form for the first time, and others are gearing up for production.
As is always the case, many different gaming figures are being showcased at the event. Some are for Nintendo titles plus many from third-parties.
Akupara Games and SquareHusky readied a new launch trailer for Everafter Falls. The title, a card-eating adventure, has now released on Switch.
