Release date: March 4, 2022
Developer: Square Enix / Artdink
Publisher: Square Enix
Square Enix’s Team Asano has been a force to be reckoned with on Switch. Their debut on the system, Octopath Traveler, was a showpiece at the first real Switch blowout in January 2017 and released the following year to great acclaim. Returning to the glory of their 3DS days, the highly requested Bravely Default 2 came out just last year. Now the third entry in the team’s Switch JRPG trifecta returns to Octopath’s HD-2D style, but delivers gameplay so different that it might as well be considered a different genre. That certainly doesn’t hold it back however: different as it is, Triangle Strategy is a tremendous overall package and possibly Team Asano’s finest work yet.
There’s a bit of news to report regarding Metroid Dread’s sales performance in the UK. This is based on data provided by GfK.
The Switch title has already overtaken past entries in the series to become the best-selling 2D entry. Additionally, it’s the third biggest Metroid game overall – it’s only behind Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 3. Since digital sales aren’t included, it’s expected that Metroid Dread will soon be the top Metroid game in the UK as a whole if it isn’t already.
Nintendo’s upcoming maintenance schedule has been updated with a new session. During the middle of next week, there’ll be a little bit of downtime involving Switch.
The full schedule as things currently stand is as follows:
For the first time, Dungeon Encounters has received a physical release on Switch.
When Square Enix originally put the game out back in October, it was only sold through the eShop. Now, however, a physical version is happening in Asia. Play-Asia indicates that English is supported alongside Japanese.
We have some information about Dungeon Encounters below.
Inti Creates has prepared a new 1.4.0 update for Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2. It contains support for new DLC, an Assist Mode option for Hard Mode, and a ton of fixes.
