Way back in 1989, Toki (otherwise known as Juju Densetsu) was released in arcades. Today, Microids has announced a collaboration with Philippe Dessoly and Pierre Adane to remake the game for Switch.

On Switch, Toki will feature completely reworked graphics. It’s not immediately clear if other changes or additions will be present.

The Toki remake arrives on Switch later this year. We have the full announcement below.

Amazon France is now listing Yesterday Origins for Switch as well. Assuming the retailer hasn’t pulled the information out of thin air, we can safely say this is happening. We also have the boxart attached above.

Flashback 25th Anniversary launches June 7 for Switch, collector’s edition in Europe and Australia

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

A couple of days ago, we came across a listing for Flashback 25th Anniversary on Amazon Germany. It was the first time we had heard about the Switch release since Microids’ announcement last year.

Microids has now officially confirmed that Flashback 25th Anniversary is heading to Switch in June. A collector’s edition will be sold in Europe and Australia (folks in the US can import from Amazon Germany here), which certainly makes the €39.99 price tag from Amazon Germany more justifiable. Included inside is a physical copy of Flashback 25th Anniversary, a retro cartridge style metal case, an exclusive numbered metal card, a 24-page retro-style instruction booklet, and the digital soundtrack (remastered version).

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

This week, a Switch rating for Yesterday Origins appeared on the German classification board USK. This should mean that the game will be appearing on the console in the future. Anuman Interactive (Microids) is listed as the publisher, as was the case with the original release.

Yesterday Origins is a point-and-click adventure game from Pendulo Studios, a company that has been working with this genre for over twenty years. It’s a follow-up to 2012’s Yesterday in which John Yesterday and his partner Pauline – two immortals – are sent across the globe through multiple periods.

We have more information about Yesterday Origins below, along with a trailer.
