Nintendo has scheduled some maintenance in the coming days, though there isn’t too much on the docket at present. Right now there’s only one session planned for the Switch eShop during the middle part of the week.
Here’s the full maintenance schedule as things stand now:
According to an eShop listing, Raw Fury, Brainwash Gang, and TLR Games are planning on bringing The Longest Road on Earth to Switch. The game’s store page shows that it’s slated for January 25.
The Longest Road on Earth is described as “a deeply personal and meditative narrative title.” More information can be found below.
Thanks to the latest Famitsu live stream, we have gameplay from Arcade Archives Gunnail. The same archive also has footage of last week’s release, Super Pac-Man, though we shared footage of that one a few days ago.
Shadow Man Remastered has received its launch trailer ahead of tomorrow’s release.
Here’s some information about the game:
Listings on the eShops provide file sizes for a bunch of Switch games. These include Kirby and the Forgotten Land, COGEN: Sword of Rewind, Ocean’s Heart, and more.
Here’s the full roundup:
Dragon Ball: The Breakers producer Ryosuke Hara has shared more information about the game, including what to expect from the story and single-player. This comes as part of a recently-published interview from Bandai Namco.
As for the story in Dragon Ball: The Breakers, Hara had this to say:
Direct sequels to mainline Final Fantasy games isn’t something that we see very often. But with Final Fantasy X, that’s a path Square Enix decided to pursue. The RPG ended up seeing a sequel with Final Fantasy X-2 that brought back familiar faces from the original.
Producer Yoshinori Kitase spoke about Final Fantasy X-2 in a recent blog post, and revealed some interesting information about its name. It turns out that deciding on a title for the project was “one of the biggest challenges” the team encountered. Kitase actually revealed that with X-2, Square Enix “was initially worried that it would be mistaken for Final Fantasy XII and turned it down.” But “they’ve grown fond of it” since that point.
2022 is no doubt a big year for Kirby. The series is turning 30 years old, and Nintendo and HAL Laboratory will be celebrating the milestone. One thing that we know is happening this year is Kirby and the Forgotten Land, which launches for Switch on March 25.
For this week’s Let’s Talk topic, we want to hear about your favorite Kirby game. The character has been around since the Game Boy days back back in 1992 and there have been a truckload of releases since then across Nintendo’s various systems.
