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.
For those that missed our previous coverage, check out the following overview with additional details:
One of the more unique entries in the Monkey Ball franchise was Super Monkey Ball Adventure. Rather than the arcade puzzle platforming the series is largely known for, the GameCube title focused on story and navigating the 3D world. It was also made by Traveller’s Tales rather than SEGA / Amusement Vision.
15 years after its release, director Paul Gardner has now reflected on Super Monkey Ball Adventure in an interview with Retro Gamer. Speaking with the magazine about the game’s reception, he said:
A short while ago, publisher Justdan International along with developers Pupuya Games and SimonCreative uploaded a second trailer for Little Witch Nobeta that offers up another look at the project’s development.
In case you missed our previous coverage, here’s some information about the title:
A little while back, Moonana opened a Kickstarter campaign for Keylocker, a cyberpunk turn-based action game. It turned out to be a huge success as the team smashed its funding goal with close to $60,000 raised. Additionally, a Switch version was secured after hitting a stretch goal.
Keylocker has players exploring the story of a BOBO, a singer and songwriter who “will serenade her rebellion against the vicious authorities by banding together with the Jukebot drummer, Rocket, to shatter the strings of fate and sing the melody of freedom.” Expect to “battle the authorities, unlock the secrets of the planet, play on your own bands’ concerts and hack into the network to bring an end to this corrupt system, for better or worse.” The project is said to take inspiration from the Mario & Luigi series and Chrono Trigger.
