American Arcadia review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 2 months ago by Jeremy in Reviews, Switch eShop | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: May 15, 2025
Developer: Out of the Blue Games
Publisher: Raw Fury
What if Walt Disney created the Truman Show? And what if instead of following the life of one man, it chronicled the lives of an entire city? What if the audience could pick and choose which citizens to watch, vote for their favorite “characters,” and create entire social media followings for unassuming victims just living their lives? What if the company running this insulated city could track which of its citizens were the most popular? How far would the company go to maximize their profits, and what might they do to cut costs when certain residents fail to garner any audience attention at all? These questions lay the groundwork for Out of the Blue Games’ American Arcadia.

Nintendo on physical games, says they’re “still a key part of our business”
Posted on 2 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
What does the future of physical games look like for Nintendo? At least for the “immediate future”, it’s still important to the company.
Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser recently broached the topic as part of an interview with IGN. In some ways, physical games feel like they’re on their way out. Digital games are only becoming more popular. On top of that, Nintendo is introducing game-key cards with Switch 2. Although consumers do receive a physical cartridge, all of the data needs to be downloaded via the internet before it can function. Nintendo itself is thus far offering full physical games for all of its Switch 2 releases.

Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 2 months ago by Richard in Reviews, Switch eShop | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: May 16, 2025
Developer: Galla
Publisher: Fellow Traveller
What makes a ‘good samaritan’? What brings someone to want to help others around them when they already have their own problems that they are dealing with? Galla Games’ brand new title poses the question of: why is kindness so rare? Why are there so few willing to open up and talk about their problems? Despite its characters being largely deceased, Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo is a game full of life with emotional depth that isn’t as paper thin as the inhabitants that roam it’s worlds. Originally a Kickstarter venture that raised an impressive sum of over $24,000, Galla Games had been working on the project for over four years up to that point in 2022, and now, after a lot of passion and hard-work, how has the game turned out?
