Mario Kart for Nintendo Switch 2 needs these new characters
Posted on 2 months ago by Ethan in Features, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Mario Kart 9 has been officially teased for Nintendo Switch 2, and we presumably won’t hear much about it until the full Nintendo Direct presentation on April 2. In the initial footage, a whopping 24 racer slots were shown on the track. That’s double the amount of racers per match in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. And with more drivers than ever present on the field all at once, Mario Kart 9 (which isn’t the game’s official name yet – it could wind up being Mario Kart 10 if we count Mario Kart Tour) needs more characters than ever to match. A while back, we talked about all sorts of crucial features Mario Kart 9 needs to succeed – but this time, we’re honing in on all the characters we want to see, no matter how obscure.

Earthblade, which was being created by Celeste developer Extremely OK Games, has now been cancelled. The studio provided an update on its official website today.
The decision to cancel Earthblade was made in December. A few things factored in here, including a split with Pedro Medeiros over “the IP rights of Celeste,” according to Extremely OK Games’ Maddy Thorson. While a resolution was met, Medeiros has moved on from the team and is hard at work on his game Neverway.

Tales of Graces f Remastered review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 2 months ago by Dawn in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: January 17, 2025
Developer: Bandai Namco
Publisher: Bandai Namco
As a long-time fan of the Tales series I was excited when Bandai Namco announced the Tales of Series 30th Anniversary Remastered Project, which promised to bring the older titles to modern systems and, hopefully, finally make it a more accessible series. As the games have hopped between platforms over the years, and either haven’t been released outside of North America or in some cases been localized at all, there are still several I haven’t had the opportunity to play. Tales of Graces was originally released on the Wii, but didn’t make its way to western audiences until the PS3 re-release, Tales of Graces f, which added a new epilogue chapter to the story and various quality-of-life improvements. Tales of Graces f Remastered brings this version to the Nintendo Switch and, barring a single glaring flaw, does so with (dare I say it) style and grace.
