Another classic game has received the battle royale treatment. Pac-Man 99 was only just announced this week, but a day after it’s reveal, the title was released for Switch. Nintendo Switch Online members can try out the title at no extra cost.
Like Tetris 99 and Super Mario Bros. 35, Pac-Man 99 puts a twist on the classic arcade formula that we’ve come to love. Players are tasked with being the last one standing as they gather Power Pellets, eat ghosts, and send Jammer Pac-Mans to make things more difficult for their opponents. We have all of the relevant details here.
With Pac-Man 99 having been out there for a few days, what are your impressions thus far? How do you feel it stacks up to the other Switch Online offerings? Let us know in the comments below.

Ubisoft has a bunch of different franchises it tends to revisit, but it recently introduced a brand new IP in Immortals Feynx Rising. The game launched only a few months ago, but the team does have some high aspirations for its future.
Speaking with Nintendo Everything, Immortals Fenyx Rising associate director Julien Galloudec addressed the possibility of a sequel. Galloudec stated the following:

Thanks to GamesIndustry, we have new insight into the UK gaming market for March 2021.
Switch was actually in last place for consoles, selling less than the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. That being said, Switch sales are up 13.6 percent over the first three months of 2020.
Games on Nintendo’s console also performed very well. Animal Crossing: New Horizons was the best-selling boxed game of the month, with Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury, Monster Hunter Rise, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe also in the top five.
Here’s a look at the best sellers of March:
Update (4/10): Play-Asia is taking pre-orders for the Ring Fit Adventure mat here.
Original (4/7): HORI has made a bunch of Switch accessories over the past few years, most of which are controllers. But now the company has unveiled the first ever accessory for Ring Fit Adventure.
HORI is planning to release an officially-licensed mat for the Switch title which can be used in either a folded form or fully spread depending on the exercise the player is performing. Since it’s absorbing some of the impact of you hitting the floor, it’s easier on your joints. It measures 1,800 mm x 610 mm with a thickness of 4 mm.
The Ring Fit Adventure mat is slated for June in Japan with a price point of 6,300 yen. There’s no word on a western release just yet, though importing is always an option.
Super Seducer: How to Talk to Girls and Super Seducer 2: Advanced Seduction Tactics were both announced for Switch last year. However, neither title will end up on the console after all.
Super Seducer producer Richard La Ruina recently said on Twitter that Nintendo gave its initial approval of the series, assuming the games received the “appropriate ratings.” But despite the ports being finished and going through initial QA, the company has now denied their release on Switch due to “explicit content”.
