Level-5 has issued a new trailer for Megaton Musashi: Wired, the updated version of its mech action RPG. The title originally released in late 2021, but only in Japan. Now it’s getting a worldwide launch and with extras to boot.
For those that need a refresher, check out the following overview:
While Mortal Kombat 1 has been seeing an overall positive impression on most consoles, the same can’t be said of the Switch version. Fans aren’t pleased with some of the game’s visuals and performance on Nintendo’s platform. However, it sounds like there are at least plans to improve the experience on Switch.
In an interview with BBC Newsbeat, series creator Ed Boon said the Switch version of Mortal Kombat 1 “absolutely be getting an update”. He went on to say:
Original (9/1): IzanagiGames today announced that it is developing Dark Auction: Hitler’s Estate, with a release planned on Switch. The project is targeting a 2024 launch.
Dark Auction: Hitler’s Estate is a mystery adventure game. Riza Suzuki, the writer behind Hotel Dusk: Room 215 and Trace Memories, will be working on the game’s story. Gangsta author Kohske is in charge of character designs.
We finally look at Mortal Kombat 1 on Switch with gameplay, which ties in with the game’s release. The port has come under fire over the past few days, but you can see how it turned out regardless.
Here’s a brief overview of Mortal Kombat 11:
System: Switch
Release date: August 24, 2023
Developer: Colorgrave
Publisher: Colorgrave
It would be fair to say that while Capcom hasn’t entirely abandoned the Mega Man franchise, it has been somewhat lax with support for it within recent times, favoring collective releases of past series rather than making entirely new games. It has fallen to smaller studios to carry the torch and deliver new experiences, and Battery Staple Games has risen to the occasion magnificently with 30XX, a follow-up to their previous take on the formula.
Evil Dead: The Game will no longer be released on Switch as this version of the title has been cancelled. That’s according to the official Twitter (or X) account, which updated fans on the situation today.
Unfortunately, we don’t have much insight into the decision. The message merely states that Saber Interactive and Boss Team Games “will not be releasing a Nintendo Switch version of the game.”
Original: The September 2023 Nintendo Direct may be over, but retailers are now getting in on the action with pre-orders. Like we usually do, we’ve set up this dedicated post to highlight games from the presentation that you can now reserve at retailers, including the brand new ones (as they go live).
iam8bit is working on a physical release of TOEM in partnership with Something We Made, the company announced today. Copies should ship in Q1 2024.
Also planned in a vinyl soundtrack with 32 tracks pressed on two classic black LPs, “giving listeners a perfect opportunity to enjoy its wonderful score from composers Launchable Socks and Jamal Green, and with magical interludes by Viktor Eidhagen.” The jacket “recreates TOEM’s in-game photo album, a charming artifact rendered in a well-loved leather look with gold highlights.”
