Here’s the full roundup:

SaGa Emerald Beyond generals, party characters, combat system

Square Enxi is returning with another round of details for SaGa Emerald Beyond covering the game’s generals, party characters, combat system, and more. The latest screenshots have been released as well.

Here’s the full rundown:

SaGa Emerald Beyond Siugnas

Square Enix is back with a new “Siugnas” trailer forSaGa Emerald Beyond. This introduces one of the protagonists, The Dismal King, who was forced from his throne.

Here’s some additional information about the character:

Theatrhythm Final Bar Line leap day bug

If you’ve been trying to play Theatrhythm Final Bar Line today but haven’t been able to do so, it seems that this is because leap day is causing issues.

When starting up the rhythm game, it’ll attempt to connect to Square Enix’s servers. However, it gets stuck in an endless loop and won’t progress to the main menu. Square Enix seems to not have accounted for leap day and that’s impacting the code in some manner.

The Warhammer 40,000 collaboration DLC for PowerWash Simulator now has a release date. Switch players will be able to pick it up on February 27, 2024.

The DLC was first teased all the way back last May. Very little was shared at the time outside of the initial announcement. However, with the launch just on the horizon, we now have a proper look with a new trailer.

Square Enix Switch sale Dragon Quest Monsters Theatrhythm

Square Enix started up a new Switch eShop sale this week for February 2024, and it includes the lowest prices ever for games such as Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince and Theatrhythm Final Bar Line. The publisher currently has over fifty titles discounted.

Here’s the full lineup:

Final Fantasy VIII Remake

Square Enix previously launched a remaster for Final Fantasy VIII, but not a remake. Director Yoshinori Kitase has now weighed on what he’d do if a remake were to ever happen.

Speaking with IGN, Kitase said he’d “really rework the battle system”. The Junction system was introduced here but “it was a very difficult system for some people to get into.”

Square Enix have shared a new trailer for SaGa Emerald Beyond, focusing on two of the game’s protagonists, Bonnier Blair and Formina Franklyn. Announced last year during September’s Nintendo Direct, the game is due out on Switch later this year on April 25.

For some more information on these characters, as well as the trailer, check out the overview below:

Final Fantasy VI Remake

A remake of Final Fantasy VI doesn’t appear to be happening anytime soon, with Square Enix indicating that it would take a significantly long time to develop.

Yoshinori Kitase, a longtime director and producer of the series, recently participated in an interview with French YouTuber Julien Chièze. During that discussion, Kitase revealed that if Square Enix were to remake Final Fantasy VI, he believes it would take double the amount of time than the Final Fantasy VII Remake project. This is because he anticipates it being bigger and it already has so many characters in it.

Dragon Quest Monsters The Dark Prince review

System: Switch
Release date: December 1, 2023
Developer: Square Enix / Tose
Publisher: Square Enix


There has been a resurgence of great turn-based RPGs over the last decade – the Switch itself becoming somewhat of a bastion for fans of long stories and level grinding, with no shortage of adventures to unwind with as the system moves ever onward in its lifespan. Monster taming games have been around for quite some time, emerging in 1987 with Megami Tensei, a mature-themed romp through a world of demons and pacts, but soon joined by more lighthearted franchises like Dragon Quest V’s monster recruiting mechanic, Pokemon’s Game Boy games launching to huge success, and the lesser known series Monster Rancher’s disc-related gimmick spurring many monster-taming fans to action placing every CD they could get their hands on into their PlayStation in order to spawn a new and potentially powerful creature. Dragon Quest Monsters’ titles play more like your classic castles and dragons adventure, just with a team you raise and strengthen a little differently than you might if you were playing something like Final Fantasy. The series now returns with Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince, and players will get to see another side to a mainline game’s most evil villain character while simultaneously becoming a very powerful monster wrangler.
