Solitary Fighter is the latest Arcade Archives games for Switch, with Hamster announcing it for worldwide release this week. It will be available on December 28, 2023.
Originally released by Taito in 1991, Solitary Fighter is a fighting game set in America in the 1950s, and sees players participating in a popular underworld fighting tournament, with the aim of becoming the number one fighter by any means necessary.
Arcade Archives Solitary Fighters will be available via the Switch eShop. Pricing is set at $7.99 / €6.99 / £6.29.
October 19: Just in time for the launch of Super Mario Bros. Wonder comes a new batch of icons on Nintendo Switch Online.
Over the next few weeks, members will be able to pick up the designs for their profile. Nintendo will be rotating out the selecting every Thursday (early Friday for those in Europe).
With our latest Pokemon Scarlet and Violet guide, we’ll get into the specific location as to where you can find Gouging Fire as part of The Indigo Disk DLC.
Gouging Fire is the new past Paradox form of Entei, and it’s available in Area Zero in the DLC. However, this one is actually a Scarlet exclusive. You can only catch one Gouging Fire per save file, unfortunately, and you’ll need to have caught at least 200 Pokemon for your Blueberry Academy Pokedex. From there, you can talk to Perrin in the Savanna biome of the Terarium to start a postgame quest that takes you back to Area Zero – and this is where you can catch both Gouging Fire and Raging Bolt.
Just under a year since its launch, Bill & Ted’s Excellent Retro Collection is about to be delisted on the Switch eShop.
Limited Run Games posted the news on social media. Switch and other platforms are being affected by the move since its license is expiring. The good news is that if you’ve already picked up the package previously, you’ll still be able to access it.
The historical preservation of video games has increasingly become a widespread concern in recent years, due in no small part to the closure of legacy digital storefronts, the frequent delisting of digital games and server shutdowns galore. But beyond that, there’s a real risk that decades of game history from the 20th century will eventually be lost or widely inaccessible – not every game is going to end up preserved via a retro-focused service like Nintendo Switch Online or Antstream Arcade. But developer Digital Eclipse – now a subsidiary of Atari – is experimenting with preservation in a unique way with its Gold Master Series. These interactive documentaries combine games, video clips, scans of game design documents and more into a package that’s not merely a compilation of old games, but also a historical archive of specific chunks of the industry’s history. Following this year’s The Making of Karateka, the studio’s next title focuses on game developer Jeff Minter and his studio Llamasoft, and it’s poised to be a fascinating memoir of a bygone era of game development.
