Rebellion’s updated shooter Rogue Trooper Redux made it to Switch today. Take a look at 20 minutes of footage from Nintendo’s console below.
The NES and Famicom are very different. Even from a design perspective, the two are dissimilar in many ways.
One interesting aspect about the Famicom is that the cartridges have two holes at the top. On the NES, these don’t exist at all. NES cartridges have indentations at the top, which we know are used to snap the cart in place.
Etrian Odyssey V has arrived in North America and Europe. Get a look at the official launch trailer from Atlus below.
A listing from PEGI shows that the card game Uno is coming to Switch, with Ubisoft handling publishing. The rating was just added to the official database today.
Ubisoft hasn’t actually announced Uno for Switch officially yet, though we expect to hear something soon. Today’s classification also suggests that the game will be out sooner rather than later.
Ubisoft has previously released Uno on other platforms. We’ve included a trailer below.
Bethesda published a new video for Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. It’s technically the launch trailer, but the Switch version is scheduled for 2018. In any case, we have the video below.
Nintendo just put out a new Mario Party: The Top 100 trailer highlighting the different game modes and amiibo support. See the video below.
SEGA has gone live with two brand new videos for Sonic Forces.
The first video offers a look at Infinite boss battle footage, showcasing the Bird Hero Character battling with the Lightning Wispon, and the Cat Hero Character attacking with the Cube Wispon. In Sonic Forces, players will be able to take advantage of two different Hero Characters’ abilities and Wispons with the “Rental Avatar” Hero Swapping feature.
A story trailer for Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon recently came online, but it was only in Japanese. Nintendo now has an English version available. Watch it below.
At the Tokyo Game Show last month, it was announced that Fire Emblem Warriors will have DLC. Players can purchase a season pass (or individually) when the game comes out for three different waves of content.
Today’s North American launch trailer for Fire Emblem Warriors gives us a better idea as to what we can expect from the DLC. Koei Tecmo is planning three new playable characters, three new History scenarios, new weapons and costumes, and new support conversations for each pack.
The first Fire Emblem Warriors DLC pack, featuring Fire Emblem Fates, drops in December. The Shadow Dragon pack will be up next in February, followed by Fire Emblem Awakening in March.
