Thanks to Digital Foundry, we have a closer look at Mortal Shell: Complete Edition from a technical perspective, including frame rate and resolution. While the port is impressive in some ways, it’s clear that the hardware struggles when it comes to performance.
Here’s a roundup of notable tidbits:
Bandai Namco published an official FAQ on its Japanese website for Tales of Symphonia Remastered, which includes topics such as why the RPG was chosen to be remastered as well as the possibility of other remasters in the series. It also goes over some of the improvements and more.
Our translation of the notable Q&A excerpts can be found below.
The Kemco RPG Selection Vol. 2 has been announced as a new Switch physical release. All copies contain Asdivine Hearts II, Revenant Dogma, Fernz Gate, and Alvastia Chronicles.
Kemco RPG Selection Vol. 2 has thus far only been announced for Japan. However, English will be included, and it can be played on any Switch system regardless of region.
Publisher Incube8 Games, along with developer Mike Yamato, has announced that the open-world adventure 2021: Moon Escape will be released digitally on Switch. It recently had a physical cartridge run on the Game Boy as well – which makes sense given the aesthetic.
2021: Moon Escape takes place in a galaxy devastated by an unprecedented war. The game has you playing as Tars Nunien, “a paladin of the Marked Brotherhood, whose only mission is to return the enemy war plans to the capital planet Astra Nova in the hope of organizing the last desperate defense against the terrible Kisur Barbarians.”
Chaosmonger Studio has announced a final release date for Clunky Hero. It will be out on January 23, 2023, it’s been confirmed.
Clunky Hero was confirmed for Switch back in 2020 after being funded on Kickstarter. It was tentatively planned for Spring 2021, but it didn’t hit PC until last November. Chaosmonger Studio is now finishing up the Switch port.
More information about the game can be found in the following overview:
Pixel Edge Games is working on The Karters 2: Turbo Charged and intends to bring it to Switch, the studio has announced. A release window hasn’t been shared for the time being.
As the name implies, The Karters 2: Turbo Charged is a racer. A bunch of features are planned including a single-player campaign, split-screen and online split-screen, tournaments, and much more.
Here’s some additional information:
Fire Emblem Engage, the next mainline entry in the Fire Emblem series, is starting to reveal pre-order bonuses. We’ll be using this guide to keep you updated about reservations as well as goodies as they are announced.
This time around, a major mechanic allows players to team up with heroes from past Fire Emblem games including Marth and Celica. They can be summoned with the power of Emblem Rings, and their power will be added to yours. With the Engaging mechanic, appearances are merged plus you can inherit weapons, skills, and more from the legendary characters. Of course, the turn-based, tactical battle system Fire Emblem is known for is back.
Original (12/23): Sabotage Studio has provided a slightly more specific release window for Sea of Stars, confirming that the RPG is on track for Summer 2023.
The game was already confirmed for next year as of a few months ago. However, this is the first time we’re hearing about it coming out during the summer.
