Original (6/28): Three years after it was originally announced, the Switch version of Xtreme Sports has secured a release date. WayForward just announced that it’s scheduled for August 10, 2023.
Xtreme Sports originally debuted on the Game Boy Color. The action-sports-RPG features five events including surfing, skyboarding, and street luge.
Take-Two Interactive has now commented directly on the price of the just-announced Switch version of Red Dead Redemption.
The game will cost $50 physically and digitally, which some people aren’t happy about. While it received a good amount of acclaim back in the day, when the title comes to Switch (and PS4), it’ll be more straightforward compared to the usual remasters and remakes we’ve been seeing these days. On top of that, multiplayer won’t be included.
A new buy 1, get 1 free sale for August 2023 is now live at GameStop, and a number of first-party and third-party Switch games are included.
From titles Nintendo has published, highlights include Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition, Metroid Dread, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, and Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Third-party offerings include Hades, Persona 5 Strikers, and No More Heroes 3.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 has been around for over a year, but a new physical reward has just been added to My Nintendo in North America in the form of camping coasters.
The set includes four in total. They come with artwork of characters Noah, Mio, Eunie, Taion, Lanz, Sena, Riku and Manana from the game. Additionally, two sheets of character stickers are included.
