Vampire Survivors review

System: Switch
Release date: August 17, 2023
Developer: Poncle
Publisher: Poncle


Every now and then a game will be released that breaks away from the labels that we use to define titles and will become a thing entirely unto itself. Vampire Survivors is one such game, having been met with massive success when it first launched last year. Part rogue-like, part bullet-hell, and entirely self-contained, it has already inspired several other titles that have tried to capture its unique magic. It is magic, I am very pleased to say, that is a perfect fit for the Switch, and a game that is more than worth your time.

Pokemon younger generation fans

The Pokemon Company chief operations officer Takato Utsunomiya has weighed in on the pressure of keeping the younger generation interested in the franchise.

Part of the reason why Pokemon has been so successful is that kids that originally grew up with the games, anime, trading cards and more are now adults and remain fans today. Getting new fans on board helps maintain that popularity.

Sonic Superstars Digital Deluxe Edition

SEGA has announced that Sonic Superstars is set to receive a Digital Deluxe Edition with some special goodies, including a Rabbit Skin.

For those that are unaware, this is going back to the earliest days of the character’s history. SEGA was originally toying around with the idea of using a rabbit – the character was only settled on a hedgehog later on. Naoto Ohshima, who is working on Sonic Superstars, came up with the initial rabbit design. But due to different factors such as wanting to focus on speed, featuring a hedgehog made more sense.

Sonic Superstars release date

A new trailer for Sonic Superstars just aired at Gamescom: Opening Night Live 2023, and it comes with the reveal of a final release date and more news about support for multiplayer. The title is due out for Switch on October 17, 2023.

Sonic Superstars was first announced this past June. Originally, SEGA shared a more vague fall launch window.
