Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest Adventures of Dai review

System: Switch
Release date: September 28, 2023
Developer: Square Enix / GameStudio / Kai Graphics
Publisher: Square Enix


Although it isn’t quite as influential in the west as it is in Japan, there’s no denying the impact that the Dragon Quest series has had upon RPGs over the years. With eleven mainline entries and several spinoffs, it is one of Square Enix’s more enduring series, and has branched out into other media during its lifetime. Dragon Quest: The Adventures of Dai started life as a manga based upon the franchise, and has received two anime adaptations, with the most recent one wrapping up last year. Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest the Adventure of Dai comes full circle, being a video game adaptation of that anime. Although it loses a little in the transition, it serves as an excellent gateway into the series, but is unfortunately incomplete and rough around the edges, and is difficult to recommend solely on its own merits.

Hitman Blood Money Reprisal

IO Interactive and Feral Interactive will release Hitman: Blood Money Reprisal on Switch, the two companies revealed today. Players on Nintendo’s console can expect the game this winter.

Hitman: Blood Money, a stealth game, first debuted in 2006. This marks the first time it will be made available on a Nintendo platform.

First details can be found in the following overview:

Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island

Original (9/22): Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island will be seeing an English release in the west, a retailer listing from VGP reveals. The game is listed with a February 27, 2024 release date.

Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island was recently announced for Switch in Japan as Shinen the Wanderer 6. No news was shared at the time about a western launch, however. It now appears that Spike Chunsoft will have the title ready to go for early 2024.

Batman: Arkham Trilogy delayed

Batman: Arkham Trilogy is seeing a bit of a last-minute delay on Switch. Just announced a few minutes ago, the collection will now launch on December 1, 2023.

Batman: Arkham Trilogy was first announced for Switch in June and was planned for the fall. Then in August, it was given an October 13 release date.

Disgaea 7 review

System: Switch
Release date: October 3, 2023
Developer: Nippon Ichi Software
Publisher: NIS America


Disgaea games have always been a bit overwhelming. Their nonsensical plots, zany casts, and seemingly impenetrable walls of systems upon systems that have stats going into the millions and damage into the quadrillions can make them seem unapproachable to newcomers at the best of times. Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless, the latest in the long-running series, shares the same foibles as its predecessors to varying degrees, but is by far the most accessible game in the series to date, and is an easy recommendation to make for anyone looking to sink their teeth into an experience that never takes itself too seriously but offers strategic depth easily on par with the best the genre has to offer.

Pikmin 4 development release

The team behind Pikmin 4 has commented on the game’s development and discussed why it took so long for it to release.

For years, fans were holding onto the now-infamous words from Shigeru Miyamoto who said in 2015 that the project was “very close to completion.” Yet it wasn’t until this past summer that the game finally released on Switch. So what happened?
