Shakedown Hawaii update Pen vs. Sword

Shakedown: Hawaii just got a surprise “Pen vs. Sword” update, which brings along new content. This was unexpected given how the last notable patch released four years ago.

Players can get their hands on new weapons, challenges, styles, and a multiplier assistant feature. Also included are extra hints and a wave of bug fixes.

The official rundown is as follows:

Iron Meat update Mirror Mode

Retroware recently started distribution of a major update for Iron Meat. Players are now able to access a new wave of content.

One of the primary additions is Mirror Mode, which lets players experience every level with the x-axis flipped – meaning they’ll be running to the left. There’s also the Supercharge rapid fire power-up after obtaining a third copy of a weapon upgrade, visual changes to the background on certain levels, and more.

Here’s the full rundown:

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection update 2.0.0

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection just released its latest update, which is version 2.0.0. The patch can be downloaded for Sons of Liberty and Snake Eater.

The main thing here is that there are new controller settings that allow for more freedom. Unfortunately though, Nintendo Switch is missing out on much of what other platforms are getting. Konami implemented various settings for other platforms including resolution and upscaling. However, these options are not available on Nintendo Switch.

GTA Trilogy Grove Street credits removal response

Grove Street Games, the original developer behind Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, has responded to being removed from the credits.

Rockstar issued a significant update for each of the titles this week. But aside from the improvements, it was discovered that Grove Street Games is no longer credited on the initial boot screen. While the company wasn’t involved more recently, Grove Street did work on the original console release.

The Jackbox Survey Scramble Dash and Dares modes

More content is coming soon to The Jackbox Survey Scramble with the Dash and Dares modes. Both will be added as part of a free update in the future.

The Jackbox Survey Scramble already has Hilo, Bounce, Squares, and Speed modes. But soon players will be able to access another couple of survey-based experiences.

Here’s some information about Dash and Dares in The Jackbox Survey Scramble:

GTA Trilogy update 1.112

After the patch started to make its way out yesterday, the new 1.112 update for GTA Trilogy (technically called Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition) is live on Nintendo Switch. We can confirm that all three games in the collection have been spruced up on the console.

Rockstar has shared its official patch notes, which note various fixes and improvements. Also, probably the biggest thing here is the lighting. Players can now select Classic Lighting mode to more closely emulate the look of the original games.

Sea of Stars Dawn of Equinox update

September 30: Sabotage Studios today unveiled a major “Dawn of Equinox” update for Sea of Stars, which is bringing local co-op, Mystery Locks for combat, revamped prologue, a new cutscene, difficulty presets, and more. The patch goes live on November 12, 2024.

Overall, the new update includes some of the most requested features and improvements informed by player feedback. Sabotage actually says that the patch makes the RPG the studio’s “fully realized vision” for the game. 

Here’s a rull overview of the update:

TMNT Splintered Fate online matchmaking, Challenge Mode, DLC, more

August 26: The team behind Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate shared a roadmap for the game today, which outlines future plans – including online matchmaking, Challenge Mode, DLC, and more.

The game’s next update will be available “very soon”. Once the patch is installed, cross-play between Switch and Apple Arcade will be supported. Various bug fixes and stability improvements will be included as well.

Sail Forth update 1.6 Before the Wind

A significant “Before the Wind” update came to Sail Forth this week, which is also version 1.6.

The update “contains a wide variety of features and improvements that are focused around both responding to community feedback and better integrating the recently added open world design with the rest of the game.” Highlights include a combined and improved map screen, a new spyglass item, persistent NPC ships which inhabit the world, and an expanded world map and new bosses for the Maelstrom DLC.

The full rundown is as follows:

Drova Forsaken Kin updates

Following the launch of Drova: Forsaken Kin, Deck13 Spotlight and Just2D have announced that free updates are planned for the dark pixel RPG. We don’t have specific release dates, we know that patches are slated for this month, December, and March.

A few different things are planned. Players can look forward to new features and content like a new difficulty mode and a mysterious new challenge.
