Let’s Play! Oink Games is still receiving support and just received a major version 7.0.0 update.
Today’s update includes functionality for the latest paid DLC, “Make the Difference”. Also available are new icons, new emotes, and more.
Here’s a full rundown of the update:
Aksys Games today provided a final release date for Mon-Yu: Defeat Monsters And Gain Strong Weapons And Armor in the west. Players will be able to pick it up for Switch on September 21, 2023.
Aksys Games confirmed plans for localization back in February 2022, following the Japanese launch in July 2021. It most recently had a Fall 2023 release window in North America and Europe.
Another distribution just went live in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, and this time around, Fighting Tera Shards are up for grabs. Players can quickly claim 50 of them.
Tera Shards are notable if you’re looking to change the Tera Type of a Pokemon. In this particular case, a bunch of these are available in the distribution and they can be applied to have a creature move over to the Fighting Tera Type.
Original (4/17): Today, publisher Microids and developer Magic Pockets announced Dolphin Spirit: Ocean Mission for Switch. The game launches on September 28, 2023.
Dolphin Spirit: Ocean Mission is an educational adventure set on the tropical island of Maupiroa, which is threatened by pollution and impending disaster. With their dolphin companion Keanu, players will explore Maupiroa’s seabed and meet its inhabitants, while helping a local environmental association to save the island and restore its abundant ecosystem. The title will feature a mix of folklore, traditions and fantasy.
Marvelous today shared the official opening movie for Silent Hope, its upcoming action RPG for Switch.
The video is backed with a title track by the band Kami wa Saikoro wo Furanai and showcases the seven heroes enjoying some downtime at Base Camp before venturing into the Abyss to take on the enemies that lurk within its depths. Marvelous says that the rock band featuring Shuusaku Yanagita on vocals, Kiichi Yoshida on guitar, Gaku Kiriki on bass, and Ryousuke Kurokawa on drums complements the game’s wordless world with an energetic original song, setting players up for the perilous journey that lies ahead.
