The physical version of Axiom Verge launches on Switch and other platforms today. Creator Tom Happ teamed up with BadLand Games to make that possible.
We didn’t know about this previously, but BadLand Games will be donating 75% of its share to a special fund that will help cover the healthcare costs for Happ’s son, Alastair. It’s with a heavy heart that we say doctors failed to treat Alastair with a routine case of jaundice when he was just days old. This sadly left him with Kernicterus that severely impacts his motor control and hearing.
Happ says BadLand “didn’t want to publicize it, since none of us wanted to be seen as trying to use my son’s suffering as a marketing tool for the game.” Still, this is an admirable move on BadLand’s part.
Happ wrote the following on the Axiom Verge website today:
The latest maintenance for Switch will be taking place later this week. On November 24, services will be impacted for roughly 2.5 hours.
Here’s the full schedule:
– 11:50 PM PT (November 23) – 2:30 AM PT (November 24)
– 2:50 AM ET (November 24) – 5:30 AM ET (November 24)
– 7:50 AM in the UK (November 24) – 10:30 AM in the UK (November 24)
– 8:50 AM in Europe (November 24) – 11:30 AM in Europe (November 24)
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney is out now on 3DS as an eShop download. Have a look at the official launch trailer below.
Bandai Namco has passed along more news about the Extra Pack 1 and free update planned for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2.
First, Extra Pack 1 will feature the new fighters Tapion, Android 13, Dabura and Buu (Gohan absorbed) as playable characters. Zamasu as an instructor, four new costumes, five parallel quests, 13 new skills, and more will also be included.
Super Mario Odyssey features a few different mini-games. Each one comes with its own leaderboards. Unfortunately, a glitch in the game is allowing some players to achieve astronomical scores that wouldn’t be possible otherwise.
The “talkatoo glitch” has been making the rounds as of late. By hitting and speaking to the hint-giving bird at the same time, the camera locks in place and can interrupt animations. Players are taking advantage of the glitch to max out the highest possible score of 99,999 in New Donk City’s jump-rope mini-game.
We have a feeling that Nintendo will patch out the glitch at some point. Something may have to be done with the leaderboards as well. Will Nintendo reset them, or will they remove every entry of 99,999?
Caveman Warriors was only just confirmed for Switch in September. Today, JanduSoft announced that the game is scheduled for December 5. That date applies to both North America and Europe.
Here’s an overview of the game:
This week’s Famitsu scans are now available. Highlights include Valkyrie Chronicles 4, Attack on Titan 2 (both games for Switch and 3DS), Atelier Lydie & Suelle, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and Shinobi Refle: Senran Kagura. Scans of all titles can be found below.
Don’t Knock Twice has received a much-needed update. In both North America and Europe, the first patch is live.
Today’s update makes technical improvements across the board. Wales Interactive has addressed the frame rate, easier interaction with objects, bigger read-me texts, minor change to control scheme to avoid dropping items, and minor collision/bug fixes. New languages have also been added, and visual enhancements have been implemented.
