2022 is almost here, so let’s take a moment to reflect on the coming year – especially concerning Nintendo.
We’re actually in a much different place this time around compared to the start of 2021. We really didn’t have a good idea as to what Nintendo was planning for the year in terms of Switch releases. A few games were known entities, but a lot hadn’t been revealed until the year started moving along.
Gameplay has come in for Lacuna, the noir adventure game from publisher Assemble Entertainment and developer DigiTales Interactive. 35 minutes of footage is available.
For more on Lacuna, check out the following overview:
Reverie Knights Tactics, which was first announced for Switch earlier this year, now has a release date. Publisher 1C Entertainment and developer 40 Giants Entertainment recently confirmed that the tactical RPG will be available starting on January 25, 2022.
Reverie Knights Tactics has players going on a quest to save their loved ones from Lennórien, the lost elven city, while fighting the goblin menace that spreads its terror across the continent. The game features a party of heroes with their own special abilities and skills. Along the journey, players can craft new items and accessories from the treasures they collect, make multiple decisions that impact how things out, and explore a huge map with secret quests, puzzles, and dungeons.
Publisher TLM Partners and developer Madlife Divertissement have issued a new story trailer for their upcoming two-player cooperative puzzle game Zorya: The Celestial Sisters that gives a closer look at the game’s story. It showcases the two separated sisters – the night goddess Aysu and the sun goddess Solveig – and how players must use both characters’ abilities together to navigate the terrain and peril in this quest to reunite them.
In case you missed our previous coverage, here’s some information about Zorya: The Celestial Sisters:
Forgotten Hill Disillusion, a first-person point-and-click title, has received new gameplay. The release comes from publisher Ratalaika Games and developer FM Studio.
Here’s some additional information about Forgotten Hill Disillusion as shared by the eShop listing:
It’s been quite a long time since we last heard about the Switch version of Unforeseen Incidents. We first shared the news about Backwoods Entertainment’s plans for the game way back in March 2019. Originally, it was targeted for a summer release. Unforeseen Incidents dropped off the radar after that, but it looks like it’s finally approaching its Switch launch as an eShop listing shows it’ll be ready to go next month.
It’s Christmas day, so you know what that means: an outage for the Switch, 3DS, and Wii U eShops with all of these digital stores currently down for some.
December 25 tends to be one of the busiest days of the year for the eShop. With so much gift giving taking place, new systems are booting up and connecting online for the first time. Others are merely browsing the eShop to purchase and redeem digital games.
Asobism is putting its roguelike adventure game Vivid Knight on Switch, according to an eShop listing. A release is scheduled for January 17, 2022.
Vivid Knight has players joining forces with knights who have been changed into jewels at the hand of a Black Witch. The game features a dungeon that changes with every playthrough. The ultimate goal is to defeat the Black Witch and free the knights from their jewels.
Young Souls has been delayed, with the game missing out on its original Fall 2021 release window. The title is now planned for a Q1 2022 release.
On Twitter, publisher The Arcade Crew explained that it would have been unable to meet the original launch target “without compromising our human work ethics and game quality.” You can read the full statement regarding the delay for Young Souls below.
Publisher CFK and developer Dotoris have released a launch trailer for Lynn: The Girl Drawn on Puzzles, their new artistic puzzle game for Switch.
