Slave Zero X Switch launch trailer

A launch trailer has come in specifically for the Switch version of Slave Zero X. Following a delay, it arrived on Nintendo’s console this week.

Lots of information about the title can be found in the following overview:

Slave Zero X Switch release date

Slave Zero X, which was delayed for Switch on launch day, now has a new release date on the console. It will be ready to go on April 11, 2024.

Remember that Slave Zero X will be sold physically and digitally. For the boxed copy, it will be available in standard and deluxe editions. The physical release launches on April 11 in Asia and Japan, but those in North America and Europe will need to wait until May 17. For those that need a refresher, the deluxe version includes a custom Switch skin, soundtracks, and three comic books created by Marvel and DC Comics veterans Ant Williams and Andy Lanning (Ideas and Inks) that dive deep into the gnarly Slave Zero universe.

Also announced today is a final bonus for Slave Zero X. After completing the Crimson Citadel game mode, players can face SovKhan in his true ultimate form, as originally intended by the game’s designers. SovKhan 300 will be added as free post-game content on April 11.

Devil Engine Complete Edition physical

Limited Run Games is working on a physical release of Devil Engine: Complete Edition for Switch, the company announced today.

You may remember that Devil Engine technically already launched on Switch in 2019. However, it then reshipped as a new “Complete Edition” last month. A physical edition also came to Japan, though this is the first time it’ll have a boxed copy elsewhere.

Slave Zero X physical

Ziggurat Interactive announced today that Slave Zero X is receiving a physical release on Switch.

You’ll be able to choose between a standard copy and a Deluxe Edition. Every copy includes the cartridge, Nintendo-themed Shou skin, the guidebook (manual with art), and controls reference card. The Deluxe Edition adds a comics and art book, dual soundtrack of Slave Zero and Slave Zero X, Nintendo-themed Shou skin, and postcards.

Slave Zero X release date

Today, publisher Ziggurat Interactive and developer Poppy Works shared a final release date for Slave Zero X. The game is slated to hit Switch on February 21, 2024.

Slave Zero X, a 2.5D action game set in the world of 1999’s Slave Zero, was announced just over a year ago. We were not initially given any sort of release window.

Devil Engine Complete Edition

Original (7/5): Beep Japan, Poppy Works, and Protoculture Games have revealed that Devil Engine: Complete Edition is on the way to Switch. The game is slated for release on October 12, 2023.

If the name Devil Engine sounds familiar, that’s because it was announced for Switch way back in 2019. Dangen Entertainment was originally set to publish. We had even heard about Ignition DLC that was teased in the main game. Devil Engine: Complete Edition will finally bring us the Switch version as well as that DLC and 1993 Shenandoah as an extra bonus.

Slave Zero originally came out in 1999. This new title is confirmed to be a prequel and is based on the concept drawings of the previous title. According to Ziggurat, “the original vision for Slave Zero couldn’t come to fruition due to budget and development time”, but the original vision is being brought to life.

We have the following overview and trailer for Ruin of the Reckless:

Halloween Forever could be coming to Switch. Recently, it was rated for Nintendo’s console in Brazil. Classifications aren’t always indicative of what a developer is planning, but often suggests that they’re thinking about the idea.

In the platformer Halloween Forever, you’ll play as the the “humanoid pumpkin thing” Pumpkin Man, explore the woods, and vomit candy corn to attack enemies. We have some additional details and a trailer below.
