With many games, the question often comes up regarding how long they take to beat. We now have information about that for Sonic Frontiers.
According to director Morio Kishimoto, Sonic Frontiers will be longer than previous entries in the series. Most players should expect between 20 and 30 hours to finish the game. For completionists, that amount can double.

Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Sonic Frontiers director Morio Kishimoto has revealed that the game has taken inspiration from the Sonic the Hedgehog movie.
Kishimoto spoke about this in a new interview with IGN. He admitted that combat was never really a focus in the series until now, “but the movie showed us an entirely new approach.” The film’s take on Sonic “became a huge inspiration for Sonic Frontiers’ development,” he said.

SEGA not surprised by initial reaction to Sonic Frontiers, no plans for a delay
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
SEGA finally unveiled the first gameplay from Sonic Frontiers this month. Unfortunately, the fan reaction wasn’t too positive. Fans weren’t impressed with what was shown, which even resulted in #DelaySonicFrontiers trending on Twitter for a bit.
VGC recently was able to speak with Sonic Team studio head Takashi Iizuka, and asked about the reaction. Iizuka said that it wasn’t “that surprising” given how the open zone format is such a different take for the series, but feels players will get a better understanding once they try it out for themselves.

Sonic Frontiers first hands-on impressions: a Sonic game with substance
Posted on 2 years ago by Nicholas Serpa in Features, Switch | 0 comments
Sonic Frontiers is ambitious – that much has always been clear. The game’s initial gameplay reveal may not have painted the fruits of that ambition in the most polished light – technically, it was all a bit rough around the edges – but even still, I’ve been excited and curious about the potential this new concept has to redefine what a modern, 3D Sonic game could look like. I was very fortunate to have an opportunity to go hands-on with the game recently at a Summer Game Fest press event, and after spending almost an hour with it, I feel like I have a much more complete picture as to the potential this title has. Sonic Frontiers plays much, much better than it looks at the moment, and I fully expect that players will have a lot of fun exploring its intricately designed world once the full game is released.

Humankind rated for Switch in multiple regions
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
SEGA and Amplitude Studios announced the strategy title Humankind for consoles during Summer Game Fest this week, but you may have noticed that Switch was left out of the mix. While there’s been nothing in the way of an official announcement, a version for Nintendo’s console could still be possible in the future.
Humankind has not only been rated for Switch once, but twice. Classifications have surfaced from the ESRB as well as in Taiwan. One would think that this could potentially be an error, though the fact that there are multiple ratings certainly makes things interesting. Perhaps a Switch version could be announced at a later date.

Posted on 2 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in Reviews, Switch, Switch eShop | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release Date: June 10, 2022
Developer: CyberConnect2
Publisher: SEGA
Demon Slayer is just the latest to tag alongside the likes of My Hero Academia to record numbers for its manga and animation distributions, and by this point in time, anyone who has even the smallest of interest in anime has probably heard about it. It’s no surprise then that its popularity has led it to getting a game. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaibi – The Hinokami Chronicles showcases most of what’s been presented in the anime and manga at this point, including its feature film, Mugen Train. With its cast of over thirty characters present and compiled in what is effectively the definitive version of the game with all DLC included, The Hinokami Chronicles gives a hearty round of content for both fans and newcomers alike a great way to play on Switch with an exceptional port.
