Octopath Traveler 0 review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 2 days ago by Jeremy in Reviews, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2
Release date: December 4, 2025
Developer: Square Enix, DOKIDOKI GROOVE WORKS
Publisher: Square Enix
The original Octopath Traveler was a milestone game, not only as the first major exclusive JRPG for Nintendo Switch, but also for the genre as a whole. It simultaneously reinvigorated a love in turn-based combat for many lapsed RPG fans, while also creating a visual style that has not only been wildly successful for Square Enix, but for imitators across other major studios and indie publishers. Octopath Traveler spawned not only a sequel title, but other games using the HD-2D style, including – critically for today’s discussion – Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent.

Yacht Club at a breaking point and needs Mina the Hollower to be a hit, 3D Shovel Knight has been in the works
Posted on 3 days ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Bloomberg published a new report today delving into issues Yacht Club Games has faced in recent years, and also claims that the studio had been working on a 3D Shovel Knight which it still hopes to release at some point.
There’s a lot covered in the article, but Bloomberg says the company “is facing an existential struggle.” It notes that Yacht Club “has churned through most of its capital, forcing it to downsize and put a planned second project on hold so everyone can focus on Mina the Hollower.” Employees are burnt out and the game’s delay is further impacting finances.
Mega Lucario Z revealed for Pokemon Legends: Z-A DLC
Posted on 3 days ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Mega Lucario Z will be appearing in the brand new Mega Dimension DLC for Pokemon Legends: Z-A, it’s been revealed.
According to The Pokemon Company, “Mega Lucario Z was determined to be a Mega Evolution based on how its form changes through exposure to a Mega Stone and its increase in power far outshining that of an average Lucario.” It features long fur around the head and waist along with a fan-shaped tail. Since this makes it difficult to get a full view of Mega Lucario Z’s powerful movements, in close combat, it can visually disorient opponents. Additionally, places on its body such as the hands and shins have been hardened with steel energy.
