PowerWash Simulator

Square Enix announced a slew of new Switch games this week, and the pattern continues with PowerWash Simulator.

The soothing sim title, developed by FuturLab, launched this past summer on Xbox platforms and PC. The power of relaxation is placed into the hands of players, and they can unlock new tools and upgrades to help clean more efficiently.

Yakuza Switch

Despite some fans hoping it would happen, the Yakuza series has stayed off Switch. That doesn’t seem to be changing anytime soon, with executive producer and Ryu Ga Gotoku studio head Masayoshi Yokoyama now weighing in.

Yokoyama spoke with GameSpot about the situation, explaining that the two are a mismatch. He feels Switch is considered to be more family-friendly in contrast to the underground attitude of the Yakuza series.

Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai

Square Enix is developing Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai for Switch, the company has confirmed.

The game is an action RPG that was first announced in 2020. It’ll let players live through the story of the anime series, The Adventure of Dai. Visuals combine art from the anime and manga.

SEGA has readied a new trailer for Sonic Frontiers to celebrate the game’s appearance at the 2022 Tokyo Game Show. It provides more gameplay, a first look at Super Sonic, and more.
