[Review] Katana Zero

Posted 5 years ago by in Reviews | 0 comments

System: Switch (eShop)
Release date: April 18, 2019
Developer: Askiisoft
Publisher: Devolver Digital


Maybe Katana Zero didn’t immediately stand out to you on the eShop. Perhaps it’s because it’s seemingly just one more pixelated indie game, or because you’ve already preloaded a certain other stylish indie action game releasing on April 18. Or maybe it’s because you’re like me, and expected Katana Zero to be yet another pretty, but ultimately forgettable indie experience. And you know what, these are all reasonable expectations to have.

Hamster has determined its next Arcade Archives title for Switch. Psycho Soldier will be out worldwide on April 25, the company announced during a live stream today.

Psycho Soldier is an action game that first debuted in 1986. It was developed by SNK, and acts as a spiritual sequel to spiritual sequel – another arcade title.

The current lineup for Arcade Archives also includes Image Fight, Butasan, Karate Champ, Ninja Gaiden, and Victory Road – almost all of these were confirmed previously. As for the ACA NeoGeo series, it has gone on hiatus for the time being, meaning there are no imminent releases. The company seems to be in the planning stage, and there is suggestion that development may resume at some point.

The arcade sports game Super Blood Hockey launches for Switch next Friday. Get a look at some early footage in the video below.

The neo-noir, action-platformer Katana Zero is appearing on Switch via the eShop as of today. Watch the game’s launch trailer below.

At this point, it’s practically a certainty that Realm Royale will end up on Switch in the future. The game has been datamined over the past few months that has led to the discovery of references to Nintendo’s console.

Datamining has taken place once again, and even more Switch-related evidence has been discovered. This time around, fans have found an exclusive Switch Founder’s Pack. It will include a new mount skin, a chicken skin, and more.

With just a few more days until release, Warner Bros. Interactive has published the official launch trailer for Mortal Kombat 11. Watch it below.

This week’s North American Nintendo Downloads are as follows:

Switch Retail

Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen – $29.99 (available April 23)
Mortal Kombat 11 – $59.99 (available April 22)

The Padre makes its debut on the Switch eShop today. A new launch trailer for the game has come in, which we have below.
