GameOverDog has announced that Jetboy, a 2D retro pixel shooter, will be making its way to Switch next week. A release is set for July 1, 2022.
Here’s some additional information about the game:
Another update went out this week for Chocobo GP, with players now having access to version 1.1.1.
According to the patch notes, it’s now possible to delete your best Time Attack Mode records and upload your newly created time data. There have also been improvements, fixes, and adjustments.
Famitsu’s bi-weekly Arcade Archives live stream took place this week, providing gameplay from the series’ last two additions: Space Seeker and Soldier Girl Amazon. The full recording can now be viewed with footage from both titles.
Here’s some information about each:
Shadowrun Trilogy, which appeared on Switch this week, has received a new round of gameplay. Footage shows off Shadowrun Returns, Shadowrun Dragonfall – Director’s Cut, and Shadowrun Hong Kong – Extended Edition.
Here’s some information about Shadowrun Trilogy, including the three specific titles:
Capcom is hosting another sale on the Switch eShop, and while a bunch of different titles are included, it’s notable for the deals on Mega Man games. Right now they’re available at their lowest prices ever. That includes Mega Man 11 as well as the various collections.
Here’s the full lineup of deals:
It’s summertime again (at least in the US), and around the time that Nintendo partakes in their sporadic tradition of creating renders of their characters in summer scenes. These are most commonly used for promotional images and can vary from individual renders of characters in a void space (such as this image of Peach with ice cream) or detailed scenes of characters in a natural environment (such as Mario lounging on the beach with sailboats in the background).
However, regardless of the content and the intended use of these images, they almost always cause speculation on upcoming game releases. An example of this comes from 2019 when this artwork of Mario eating a watermelon had people swearing that Super Mario Sunshine was coming to Switch. Since these theories never seem to bear any fruit (Super Mario Sunshine did eventually come to Switch, but there was no relation to the watermelon render), we figured instead of analyzing past renders that Nintendo has released, it might be fun to make our own.
AI: The Somnium Files – nirvanA Initiative has officially launched on Switch, though it’s also out elsewhere as well – and we’ve readied a new graphical comparison video. PC is the other platform we’ve decided to use here.
Thankfully, as you’ll see in the video, Spike Chunsoft seems to have done an admirable job with the Switch version. All of the assets are here without much in the way of changes. You’ll get a higher resolution and frame rate on PC, but those are the main differences.
System: Switch
Release date: June 10, 2022
Developer: Next Level Games

With its previous outings on GameCube and Wii, Mario had his own take on soccer (or football) that felt exciting and fresh at the time. A cast of characters from the franchise made up a roster for players to choose from and jump into a field with the basic rules of the sport in place, but with a few more mechanics that would further excite the gameplay – elements like specials, tackles, and specialized stadiums that certainly made the entire experience feel very, well, Mario. With little to no fouls to worry about, Mario Strikers was always a frenetic perspective on the traditional sport. Mario Strikers: Battle League has increased that chaos tenfold mechanically but does little elsewhere to warrant any sort of prolonged investment that prior entries to the series had before. While the game has a lot going for it, there feels like untapped potential has been left on the table.
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R is back with its latest character trailer focusing on Will A. Zeppelli. He’s Jonathan Joestar’s mentor and known for the Ripple technique.
