Everything we played at Summer Game Fest (Sonic, Disney Illusion Island, and more) | Nintendo Everything Refresh Ep. 056
Posted on 1 year ago by Nicholas Serpa in Podcast, Switch | 0 comments
There may not have been an E3 this summer, but it sure as heck felt like it! Between Summer Games Fest, the Xbox and PlayStation showcases, the Wholesome Direct, Future Games Show, and even more presentations than we can list here, there have been hundreds of games announced or shown off in the past few weeks. Fortunately, we were able to visit LA last week to get hand-on with a wide range of exciting Switch-bound games, including Sonic Superstars, Oxenfree II, Mortal Kombat 1 and much, much more! In this week’s episode of Nintendo Everything Refresh, join your hosts Nick Serpa and Tom Chaplin as they talk about all the games big and small that Nick got to demo at Summer Games Fest. Then, stick around for some other freshly announced Indies you should keep on your radar, several irrelevant tangential conversations (our favorite), and more!

Ghost Trick creator says sequel “would be difficult”, but not ruling out the possibility
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Could Capcom make a sequel to Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective one day? Shu Takumi, the game’s creator (who’s also behind the Ace Attorney series), isn’t committed to the idea, but isn’t ruling out the possibility either.
Game Informer recently asked Takumi straight up about sequel chances. He responded by saying “it would be difficult” given how the story is told in one complete game, but “the powers of the dead that this game introduces may hold some possibility.”

[Preview] Mortal Kombat 1: A silky-smooth, hyper-violent reboot that’s (somehow) coming to Switch
Posted on 1 year ago by Nicholas Serpa in Previews, Switch | 0 comments
Mortal Kombat 1 is perhaps the most jaw-dropping fighting game I’ve ever had the privilege of playing. And not just in a figurative sense, because there’s literally an X-Ray attack in which Sub-Zero skewers his opponent’s brain through their mouth with a shard of ice, rendered in a shocking amount of detail. Between the new Kameo mechanic, an increased focus on aerial play, and some of the most stunning visuals I’ve ever seen in a fighting game, this is a game that feels next-gen from edge to edge. That’s a polite way of saying: I have no idea how they are going to get this running on Switch.
[Preview] Hands-on with Oxenfree II: Lost Signals
Posted on 1 year ago by Nicholas Serpa in Previews, Switch | 0 comments
It’s easy to forget, looking back, just how innovative Oxenfree felt when it launched in 2016. Plenty of games up to that point had experimented with branching narratives and dialogue, but few had managed to weave conversations together in such an organic, convincing way. What started as a slow-burn teen drama quickly evolved into a tense supernatural thriller, and the choices the player makes for protagonist Alex could have a dramatic impact on the ending of the game. After getting hands-on with Oxenfree II: Lost Signals at Summer Game Fest, I’m confident that Night School Studio knows exactly what the fans are looking for from this sequel, and I can’t wait to play more of it.
