Hello! I have a quick site update to share with you all.
I’m not sure how many of you use RSS feeds these days, but ours was recently updated to include photos. If you use something like Feedly (or any other RSS reader), the featured image for each post should finally appear. A few of you requested this in the past, and since I figured it’d be easy enough to implement, I’ve been slightly reworking our RSS feed over the past few days. Nothing ever comes easy and we had to clear a few unforeseen backend issues, but I believe everything should be running properly now. If this isn’t working for you for whatever reason, shoot us an email and we’ll try to troubleshoot.
I also wanted to provide a quick update regarding the call for open positions back in August. We’ve been making good progress, but I’ll ask everyone for their patience in knocking things out there. There’s been a lot happening as of late between Gamescom, various indie live streams, showcases, and more. That’s been taking up a lot of time, along with my many other daily/weekly responsibilities. I think you all know that it’s extremely rare for me to talk about myself in any way since I always put the focus on Nintendo news, but I’ll just say outright that I’m feeling very exhausted. In any case, I’m hoping to have a final resolution with the open positions within the next couple of weeks or so – we’ll follow up with those that we’ll be moving forward with. Thank you for your patience!

According to 2K Games and Firaxis, Marvel’s Midnight Suns won’t have any pay-to-win microtransactions.

Apple Knight is making its way to Switch next week, an eShop listing reveals. Limitless, the game’s developer, will have the new port ready to go on September 9.
Apple Knight first debuted on mobile where it has had a pretty popular run. The game is an action platformer with with 40 stages including four boss fights. Players will explore vast levels filled with secrets, quests, and loot while fighting through hordes of evil wizards, knights, and creatures (if that wasn’t enough, traps can be used as another tactic to take out enemies). It’s also possible to customize character skins, weapons and abilities. The mobile version contains “Endless Adventure” in which players can go through endless random levels and get their high score on a leaderboard, though it’s unclear if this will be in the Switch version. We do at least know that now you can use proper button controls.
