Here’s the full rundown on the update:

Grounded gameplay

Grounded has now been made available on Switch, and gameplay has come in. This marks the second release from Xbox and Obsidian following Pentiment. 

Catch up on everything you need to know in the following overview:

Indie World April 2024

One Piece Odyssey

Bandai Namco is bringing One Piece Odyssey to Switch, the company just announced. It’s set to launch on July 26, 2024.

One Piece Odyssey is a turn-based RPG that first came out last year. Ilca, perhaps best known for Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, worked on the game. 

Wii U games not ported to Switch

Given the seemingly never-ending stream of leaks for Nintendo’s next console, it would appear that Switch is nearing the end of its life cycle – maybe. In its early years, however, many of its major releases were ports of games originally released on Wii U. Some of these were straightforward with a tiny bit of extra content like Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, while others placed a higher focus on new content – like Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury. There are still a number of major Wii U games that haven’t been ported to Switch, however. Today, we’re looking at these Wii U games, why they haven’t been ported to the Switch just yet, and how likely a potential port could be.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Moebius Z

Tetsuya Takahashi, the executive director and writer for Xenoblade Chronicles 3, explained how he approached Moebius and Z in the game. This comes as part of the recently-released art book (you can import a copy of the rerun here).

Players battle different members of the Consuls, or Moebius, throughout the adventure. It all ultimately concludes with a face-off against Z with Noah and the rest of the gang looking to change the harsh reality of their world, which sees never-ending war and soldiers with ten-year lifespans.

Paper Mario Thousand Year Door features

In around a month and a half, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door will be released on Switch. The RPG, a redone version of the GameCube original, arrives on May 23.

In the very first trailer, it was clear that Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door will have updated graphics on Switch. Aside from that though, Nintendo recently clarified that there will be “a suite of additional changes that make the game easier than ever to enjoy.” Currently we’re waiting for more details on what that means.

As we wait for more answers from Nintendo, what are you hoping to see when it comes to new / updated features? Let us know in the comments.

Switch demos

Thousands of games are currently available on Switch, and there are a ton of demos out there for many of them. Not just Nintendo, but also third-parties are offering demos. We’ve now put together a comprehensive list of what’s out there.

Since our reader base is English-speaking, that’s what we’re focusing on here. In other words, we’re highlighting Switch demos that you can find in North America and Europe. Japan has a few extra demos on its end, but a majority of them are for titles that are not currently being sold in the west and are only playable in Japanese.
