Listings on the eShops provide file sizes for a bunch of Switch games. These include The Plucky Squire, MySims: Cozy Bundle, Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics, and more.
Here’s the full roundup:
By all (or at least most) accounts, the Xenoblade series sort of peaked with the release of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and its DLC, Future Redeemed. The base game told a completely new story that could technically be understood without playing the prior games (but was enhanced by doing so) while also tying together the futures of the worlds from Xenoblade Chronicles and its sequel. Without going into too much detail right off the bat, Xenoblade 3’s ending is said to have wrapped up the series – or at least the Klaus trilogy. That being said, there are a few loose ends introduced in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 that weren’t fully tied up – and today, we’re going over which of these plot points we can expect to see in future games, if any at all. Do keep in mind that there are spoilers ahead.
Nintendo hasn’t done much with Star Fox since Star Fox Zero on Wii U – which came out years ago – but Takaya Imamura believes it will return someday.
For those that are unaware, Imamura was the character designer for Star Fox. He naturally has ties to Shigeru Miyamoto, who took the lead on the franchise. Imamura was speaking with The Gamer in a recent interview and mentioned how Miyamoto has “strong feelings” for Star Fox. While no one can say what exactly will happen in the future, Imamura thinks it will return at some point, but in what form and when he wouldn’t make any predictions.
Nintendo fans tend to go by the company’s patterns, but every now and then, the company throws a curveball. That’s exactly what happened this week. We’re generally used to getting a Nintendo Direct before the Tokyo Game Show in September, but we instead saw a new presentation to end August. On top of that, it was shown right after an Indie World Showcase. We’re not used to seeing back to back presentations from Nintendo, but again, you can’t always predict what the Big N will do.
There were so many games between the two presentations – over forty in fact – that we can’t possibly mention them all here. For the Indie World Showcase through, a big highlight was the announcement and release of Pizza Tower. Meanwhile, the Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase featured Capcom Fighting Collection 2, Castlevania Dominus Collection, The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 1st, Atelier Yumia, Tales of Graces f Remastered, Tetris Forever, MySims: Cozy Bundle, Star Overdrive, and more.
For those interested in seeing how Crypt Custodian turned out, we’ve got new gameplay. A half hour of footage is available for the action adventure/Metroidvania title.
The eShop description provides us with the following details:
SEGA announced Yakuza Kiwami for Switch this week, but since then, shared the news that it’s a digital-only release and there won’t be a physical version of any sort.
Yakuza is finally heading to Switch for the first time. However, digital will be your only option – even in Japan. The good news is that SEGA seems to be pricing the game appropriately, and it will only cost $20.
Devolver Digital just kicked off one of its biggest Switch eShop sales ever to close out August 2024 with many games at their lowest prices ever, including Death’s Door, Gris, The Messenger, and more. Discounts are available for up to 85 percent off.
The full lineup of deals is as follows:
The August 2024 Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase aired earlier today, and new pre-orders are starting up. In addition to some new reveals, updates were given on some previously anticipated titles.
As usual, we’ll keep this post updated over the next few days. Then we’ll have everything in our regular pre-order roundup on Sunday.
Here’s what’s on tap thus far:
Wired Productions and Angry Demon Studio shared a new launch trailer for Gori: Cuddly Carnage. The title, a hack-and-slash action adventure experience, made it to Switch this week.
