Super Chariot

Super Chariot was previously given a May release window by publisher Microids. According to a listing on the eShop, we now have a final date of May 10 in both North America and Europe.

The pre-load option for Super Chariot is live alongside the new listing. If you plan on downloading the game, 469MB of free space is required.

Super Chariot will also be receiving a physical release, though only in Europe and Australia.

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).

Nearly a year ago, Microids announced a slew of games for Switch. Some of these games have come out, but a few are still in development.

One upcoming title that should be released soon is Flashback 25th Anniversary. A listing for the game has now appeared on Amazon Germany, featuring a boxart and screenshots (this also confirms a physical version by the way).

Microids and Frima shared new information about the Switch title Super Chariot today. The news is highlighted by a launch month: May 2018.

Super Chariot will be sold physically, though only in Europe and Australia. It’ll include the game, the Royal Gadget Pack DLC, and the original downloadable soundtrack.

Yesterday Origins

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.

It was just a couple of months ago that Gear.Club Unlimited made its way to Switch. Recently, we spoke with developer Eden Games to learn more about the process of bringing the racer to Nintendo’s console.

As for why Gear.Club Unlimited made sense on Switch in the first place, Eden Games explained:

Super Chariot

The 2D platformer Chariot has made it to several platforms over the years, including Wii U. Now it’s planned for Switch as well.

Microids will be publishing Chariot on Switch as “Super Chariot” later this year. It’s the same game as before, but with the Royal Gadget Pack DLC included.

We have more details about Super Chariot below in addition to a trailer for the original game.

Microids published another making of video for Gear.Club Unlimited this week. In the latest entry, Eden Games talks about the tracks and environments in the game. View the video below.

When Gear.Club Unlimited first made it to Switch, Microids was originally selling it as a GameStop exclusive. Just a few weeks later though, it will become more available at more retailers.

Amazon is one outlet that plans to sell Gear.Club Unlimited very soon, for example. If you’d like to order it, you can do so here. It should be available at the end of the month.
