QUByte Interactive has announced they will be releasing an HD remaster of Visco Corporation’s bullet hell shooters Vasara and Vasara 2. Previously arcade exclusives, the games will be released together as Vasara HD Collection on consoles in 2019.
While their announcement doesn’t explicitly mention the Switch at the time of writing, QUByte Interactive has retweeted tweets that seem to confirm Vasara HD Collection will be released on the Switch.
Footage is in showing off Bleed 2 on the Switch. Take a look at the gameplay below:
Update: With this update, the Switch eShop has also been updated to show how many gold points can be earned from a digital purchase.
Original: Nintendo recently announced that it would be possible to use My Nintendo Gold Points when purchasing digital games on Switch. This is going into effect starting today, which should be as soon as maintenance ends (roughly 90 minutes from now).
The way this works is that Switch owners can get 5% back on digital purchases and 1% back on games bought physically. You’ll be able to apply Gold Points to purchases during checkout on the eShop or on Nintendo’s website. 1 Gold Point amounts to 1 cent. Another way of putting this: if you pay $59.99 for a game on the eShop, you’ll earn 300 Gold Points, which can be $3.00 towards your next purchase.
Here’s the full rundown from Nintendo:
It goes without saying, but Detective Pikachu is a very different kind of Pokemon game. Pikachu has a voice, and the character acts in a completely different way than fans are used to.
USgamer spoke with Hiroyuki Jinnai about the new game. One of the aspects discussed is how the team wanted to offer “something totally different” with this version of Pikachu.
Pokemon GO recently wrapped up a week of legendary Raid Battles. Since Rayquaza was defeated more than Kyogre and Groudon combined, Pokemon that prefer windy weather will now hatch more often from Eggs. This promotion period will last until March 16.
Raid Battles at Gyms near you will also favor appearances by Pokemon that prefer windy weather. Double XP will be in effect until March 16 as well.
Curve Digital has released Human: Fall Flat and The Flame in the Flood on Switch, with more titles to follow. The company has previously announced that games such as Bomber Crew, Smoke and Sacrifice, and For the King are on the way.
