Original: A release date has just been announced for Rear Sekai, an upcoming action RPG by Story of Seasons producer Yoshifumi Hashimoto – plus we have the opening movie below. Publisher Bushiroad and developer Hakama have confirmed that the game will release in Japan on October 12, 2023.
This news comes via the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu magazine, which also revealed some additional details on the game. Players will experience both a fantasy world and more realistic one, the two of which will be linked. They’ll also be able to roam through dungeons, battle huge bosses, explore with various actions, and find treasure chests to obtain better gear. The game will also feature a “Build System”, which allows them to build interactions and battle styles with partner characters called Alliances.
Original: Today, Bushiroad announced that it will be publishing Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation – Quest of Memories on Switch. Other than confirming Lancarse as the developer, a release window and further details were not shared.
Mushoku Tensei started out as a light visual novel series in 2012. It has also seen official manga and anime adaptations.
Ys X: Nordics is back with a new wave of details, this time covering Momina, Romes, Joel, Ashley, Urval, Rune Stones, fishing, and Sandras upgrades. New screenshots are available as well.
Here’s the full rundown:
Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet continue to roll out distributions, and now players can get their hands on a Shiny Grimmsnarl for a limited time. This was used by Chaiyawat Traiwichcha, who used that creature to win the Thailand National Championships last year.
Grimmsnarl comes with the moves Thunder Wave, Spirit Break, Reflect and Light Screen. It will also be the ability Prankster and has the Light Clay item. Additionally, it will be at level 50.
Publisher Nacon and developer Sanuk Games have announced and released Nova Strike for Switch digitally via the eShop today. The game is a retro shoot ’em up with a roguelite-style progression system, with pilots acquiring skills to combat the game’s increasing challenge.
Here’s an overview of the game and a launch trailer, courtesy of Nacon:
Freyr: Dream-King is the latest Mythic Hero to be announced for Fire Emblem Heroes.
The character is voiced by Jason Marnocha and features art from Yoshiku. His lineup of learnable skills at five stars include Dream Horn, Ignis, Atk/Def Clash 4, Lull Atk/Def 4, and Dream Deliverer.
Nintendo Switch Online just added a pair of Zelda classics to its service, as Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons have dropped. Both are immediately available now via the official Game Boy app.
Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons were previously announced for Nintendo Switch Online back in February. However, a release date wasn’t provided at the time.
With the success of the original game, some were surprised by the fact that we never ended up seeing Sonic Mania 2. It turns out there was actually some initial interest on SEGA’s part, but things ultimately weren’t meant to be.
Classic Sonic is now going in a new direction with the previously-revealed Sonic Superstars. Arzest is taking the lead with Naoto Ohshima (who worked on the series’ original games) on board for the project, but the Sonic Mania team isn’t involved.
