May is looking to be another full month for Switch, with a lot of awesome releases coming soon. To help sort through them all, we’ve put together a video of the most anticipated Switch games coming in the month.
Check out the full video below and keep an eye out for more videos like this in the future!
The World Ends with You has been relatively dormant for over a decade, but Square Enix is now starting to make a bigger push with the IP. An anime based on the original game just recently started airing and a long-awaited sequel will finally launch this summer after more than a decade.
Fans will be happy to hear that the series has a bright future ahead. IGN recently asked NEO: The World Ends with You producer Tomohiko Hirano if the team hopes it can become its own series, similar to Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts. In response, Hirano said:
System: Switch
Release date: April 15, 2021
Developer: Chibig
Publisher: Chibig
Summer in Mara was one of the more recent games that took me by surprise in terms of how much I enjoyed it, as I really love the sense of serenity it offers with a small but playful map that gives just enough to keep things consistently fun – especially for the explorative types. Though Chibig is no stranger to game development, it was the first of their portfolio to hit consoles, and while the Switch version had a few quirks, it still retained what was most important without having to sacrifice much outside of some visual quality. Deiland may be new to some, but the game has technically been out since Chibig brought it to mobile in 2016. Deiland: Pocket Planet Edition on Switch now marks the third time it has been released, but as someone who’s played it briefly on mobile and then on PC just before the Switch version for the purposes of this review, this would also mark the third time Deiland has simply been… Deiland, with little between releases to feel like a sizeable update or enhancement from prior SKUs.
While we don’t have specific sales data at this time, an early report has surfaced regarding New Pokemon Snap’s debut in the UK.
It turns out that the game was #1 in the region this past week – beating Returnal on PlayStation 5 for the top spot, which was another new release. GamesIndustry’s Christopher Dring reports that New Pokemon Snap’s physical launch sales are more than four times higher than the original game for the N64. Note that digital units are not accounted for.
We should have the latest UK sales chart soon.
X.D. Network and Sunborn Games Technology debuted a pair of new videos today for Reverse Collapse: Code Name Bakery. Along with a second preview trailer, we also have pure gameplay of the tactical turn-based RPG.
