Thanks to Nicalis and Hafiz Mohd Rozlan, we have a release date for Cramped Room of Death. It’s heading to Switch on July 19, 2023.

Originally, Cramped Room of Death was announced for Switch back in August. Nicalis had given it a Q4 2022 release window, but something changed along the way.

Sony CEO Kenichiro Yoshida is apparently a big fan of Mario, to the point where he actually went to see The Super Mario Bros. Movie recently.

Yoshida has also said that Mario is a beautiful and wonderful IP. Back in the day – or specifically 30 years ago – he played the franchise intensely.

Humble Games and Supra Games are teaming up to bring Supraland: Six Inches Under to Switch, the two sides announced today. A release is scheduled for Summer 2023.

Supraland: Six Inches Under is a first-person Metroidvania title following the original game that is already available on Switch. Additional details can be found below.

Humble Games today unveiled Wizard of Legend 2, which is being developed by Dead Mage with guidance from original developer Contingent 99.

The upcoming title is a follow-up to the dungeon-delving original. Players can expect vibrant new 3D visuals and fast-paced four-player online co-op. Also planned are familiar and new Arcana and new spell combinations. Players will return again and again (and again) to master ever-changing rogue-lite challenges of the Chalice of Immortality.

The Switch version of Maquette now has a release date. It’s heading to Nintendo’s console on May 25, 2023, Annapurna Interactive and Graceful Decay revealed today.
