System: Switch
Release Date: June 16, 2022
Developer: Angel Matrix
Publisher: Annapurna Interactive


A couple of months ago, we had the absolute pleasure of being invited by Annapurna Interactive to a private showing of Neon White with creator Ben Esposito to showcase everything the game had to offer and pick his brain about all of the creative inspirations. It was a telling and exciting preview event that increased excitement tenfold about what to expect. The game was immediately striking thanks to its flashy art direction and fast-paced nature of platforming and speedrunning that saw a group of people referred to as Neons that were formally alive be introduced into heaven and having to compete to prove their worth by ridding of all the demons that have been plaguing heaven. The most impressive part about it all is that Neon White feels like a divine adrenaline rush that is proud of its finesse and panache without ever feeling like it’s being cocky or overbearing, creating a seamless speedrunning experience that surprisingly lends itself to the Switch beautifully.

A new video has come in for Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion that serves as a graphics comparison. With it, we’re able to see just how much this version of the title compares to the original.

The video goes to show just how much effort Square Enix is putting into Reunion. The company did say that everything is now in HD – as you’d expect – and the models have been upgraded. It seems to go even beyond that, though.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate saw partnerships with a bunch of different games and franchises, including Cuphead. Although the character wasn’t a DLC fighter, he did appear in the form of a Mii Fighter costume. Additionally, a spirit based on the run and gun action title was offered to players. Having any sort of representation is a dream come true for many developers, and Studio MDHR is no different.

While speaking with Nintendo Everything about the upcoming Delicious Last Course DLC for Cuphead, Studio MDHR executive producer and studio director Maja Moldenhauer also talked a bit about the Smash Bros. Ultimate representation. When asked how the partnership with Nintendo came about, Moldenhauer explained:

Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield have kicked off a special distribution for a Shiny Clefairy. This comes in celebration of the Pokemon Championships Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Phillipines.

The Clefairy being provided is based on the one used by Jirawiwat Thitasiri, who won the 2021 Pokemon Asia Players Cup. It knows the moves Protect, Helping Hand, Follow Me, and Icy Wind. Additionally, it comes in at level 50 and is holding the Eviolite item.
