Digimon World: Next Order review

System: Switch
Release date: February 22, 2023
Developer: Hyde
Publisher: Bandai Namco


Six years into the Switch’s lifecycle, it’s still the go-to destination for ports and bringing older, potentially forgotten games into a more modern setting and for a wider audience. Digimon World: Next Order adds itself to that list, giving it another chance to shine following the positive reception to Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth and Digimon Survive. With the Digimon World brand having been around since 1999 in Japan, Next Order brings the 2017 title from PlayStation 4 and PS Vita to a Nintendo system. Though Digimon has always been a flexible property and taken on almost every genre under the sun, Digimon World stood by as a fond memory for decades for fans, but Next Order in 2017 didn’t necessarily point the series or the property in the right direction. Now in 2022, we’re meant to revisit a game that, while fun, is just too subpar at best to really warrant paying full price all over again.

Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections

Original (2/23): Today, publisher Bandai Namco and developer CyberConnect2 revealed Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connection. It will be available on Switch later in 2023.

The game builds off of the previously-released Ultimate Ninja Storm titles. Bandai Namco says the upcoming title features the story of Naruto and Sasuke, which “has been re-cut and combined with an all new original story”. This particular entry will have the largest roster ever for the series.

Here’s an official overview:

Bandai Namco has shared even more details about Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster, revealing that the game will let players increase the game speed and battle speed, and it’ll even have both New Game + and New Game – options.

Additional information started to come in following the reveal in the latest Nintendo Direct. We previously heard about features like being able to turn off enemy encounters, auto battle, skip cutscenes, and auto-save.

Digimon World: Next Order made it to Switch this week, and if you’re interested in seeing how this version has turned out, you may want to check out new gameplay that’s come in. Around a half hour of footage is available.

Tales of Symphonia Remastered issues

Bandai Namco has issued a statement about the Switch version of Tales of Symphonia Remastered, apologizing for issues players have encountered and confirmed that a patch is being explored.

From a technical standpoint, there are a few important problems at present. One such issue concerns long loading times between battles and exploring the world map, which are even longer than they were for the original game. The frame rate isn’t always steady either and can see a fair amount of drops. There are some other technical issues as well.

In its statement about the Switch version of Tales of Symphonia Remastered, Bandai Namco said the following (via Abyssal Chronicles):
