Monolith Soft is officially 25 years old, and to celebrate, the company has come out with a special video.
The video reminds fans with what the studio has worked on since its inception, with the Xenoblade series getting a focus in particular. But other series and games such as Baten Kaitos and Xenosaga are featured as well.
Starting today, if you’re a Nintendo Switch Online member, you can claim new icons based on Kirby Super Star. This is one of the monthly classic games that we’ve been seeing on the service as of late.
In order to claim the icons, you’ll first need to boot up Kirby Super Star on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Switch Online app. You can then get each design for 10 Platinum Points each on My Nintendo. There are a total of ten icons up for grabs at the moment.
Bura: The Way the Wind Blows, a new game that takes inspiration from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Studio Ghibli, is bound for Switch.
Tiny Meow Studio recently opened a Kickstarter campaign where it’s seen success. After reaching $20,000 through crowdfunding, the game was fully funded – and a Switch version was confirmed as well.
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is available now, and as with most recent Zelda games, it’s got compatibility with specific amiibo figures with rewards to unlock. This comes in the form of random cooking items and exclusive outfits, but the latter aren’t obtained until later in the game. This post contains very minor spoilers on what exactly you have to clear to unlock that functionality, but if you’re all good with that, then we’ve compiled all amiibo-exclusive gear and which specific figurines will yield what items.
Publisher Kalypso Media and developer Realmforge Studios finally set a relaese date for Dungeons 4: Nintendo Switch Edition. The game will be ready to go on October 17, 2024.
We didn’t hear anything about Dungeons 4: Nintendo Switch Edition since its announcement in 2022. It was originally on track for last year, but ended up going through a lengthy delay.
Here’s some information about the game:
The latest UK software sales chart for the week ending September 28, 2024 is now available, and it includes the debut for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.
The Switch exclusive came in at #2 for its first appearance – and remember, Nintendo does not report digital sales. Compared to the Zelda: Link’s Awakening remake, sales were 14 percent lower. Again, this is strictly based on physical sales.
Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom wasn’t the only new game on the UK sales char this week. Unsurprisingly, EA Sports FC 25 comes in at #2. Epic Mickey: Rebrushed also seemingly did well, appearing at #4 (platform breakdown was Switch at 48 percent, PS5 at 43 percent, Xbox at 8 percent, and PC at 1 percent).
Here’s the full UK software sales chart for the week ending September 28, 2024:
System: Switch
Release date: September 24, 2024
Developer: Lazy Bear Games
Publisher: Twin Sails
The feeling of déjà vu is not an uncommon one to experience when playing a game, particularly with indies, which have often drawn their inspiration from more successful and well-established franchises to create their own take on the formula. It’s not inherently a bad thing, but it was a feeling that I often had whilst I was playing Bloomtown: A Different Story. Despite a few questionable deviations here and there, it delivers an experience that at least matches its inspirations for enthusiasm and spirit, if not entirely in terms of satisfaction and enjoyment.
Vampire Hunters has been announced for Switch, and the game is only a month away. Gamecraft Studios is bringing the title to Switch on October 30, 2024.
Vampire Hunters is a roguelike first-person shooter with a retro style. Inspired by Vampire Survivors, the game involves stacking weapons to make crazy builds and taking down enemies.
We’ve got further details in the following overview:
Neon Blood not only received its release date today, but we also have news about a physical version.
Neon Blood arrives for Switch on November 26, 2024. On the same day, fans will be able to pick up the game at retail (at least in Europe, those in other regions can import). The physical limited edition includes a copy of the game, a metallic textured sleeve, art book, city guide, and downloadable soundtrack.
September 20: Microids is readying a demo for The Smurfs: Dreams, the company has announced. Those on Switch can download it starting on September 30, 2024.
The demo includes two levels from different worlds, each featuring a different Smurf (and therefore different gameplay styles). Co-op will be supported.
