If you’ve already had the pleasure of experiencing Wolfenstein: The New Colossus on Switch then you’re familiar with how the series has managed to distill the FPS formula down to perfection. In an era dominated by damp fetch quests and morally ambiguous “makes you think” villains, both MachineGames’ Wolfenstein and id Software’s Doom reboot have felt like a breath of fresh air for those of us who get misty-eyed over 90’s shooters. For the uninitiated, here’s a brief rundown: Entrench your mind in a Tetris-like zen state, and skittishly zip around maps that are designed less like real places and more like skateparks. You have two goals: Use gun and give death. Despite the immense praise both Wolfenstein and Doom have garnered over the course of this console generation, there may be a feeling over at Bethesda that change is now needed to differentiate these two franchises going forward, and this is exactly the impression I get from playing Wolfenstein: Youngblood.
Starting tomorrow, Hamsterdam will be available on the Switch eShop. Have a look at some early footage below.
IGN has shared new footage of Pillars of Eternity: Complete Edition running on Switch. Have a look at the gameplay below.
Last week, Nintendo announced a unique Disney Tsum Tsum Festival Switch hardware bundle for Japan. The dock, Joy-Con, and system itself have all been specially designed. Of course, a copy of Disney Tsum Tsum Festival is included.
Play-Asia has now opened pre-orders for the bundle here. This appears to be Japanese-exclusive given the lack of western announcements. However, the system can be imported and played in any country thanks to Switch being region-free.
