Finally, Switch owners will get to do something we’ve all always dreamed of – play PSP games! Seriously, though – we’re all very excited about to talk about the recently revealed Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII remaster, which looks shockingly good as an upgrade of a 2007 handheld game. We’ll also discuss the rumors that have been going around that Nintendo has a new mainline Fire Emblem game ready to go, as well as the leaked details and images that are adding some fuel to the fire. After that, stick around for discussion about Overwatch 2, the recent Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak demo, and so much more!

Tony Hawk says Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 almost happened, ended after Vicarious Visions merged with Blizzard
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Following the launch of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2, many hoped that 3 and 4 would receive the same treatment. It turns out this was once the plan, but things didn’t work out in the end.
Tony Hawk actually revealed this information himself during a live stream with Twitch user andyTHPS. Hawk said that 3 and 4 were next in line for the remaster treatment, but the situation changed once Vicarious Visions became a part of Blizzard. When the two sides merged, Activision apparently looked for a different developer to take it on, but ultimately didn’t trust anyone else to take on the job.

[Review] Lost Ruins
Posted on 2 years ago by Nicholas Serpa in Reviews, Switch eShop | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release Date: June 6, 2022
Developer: Altari Games
Publisher: Dangen Entertainment
As I navigated the dark, sprawling catacombs and trap-filled dungeons of Lost Ruins, I was always deftly aware of the stakes at play. My protagonist – a plucky, somewhat oblivious schoolgirl who had somehow gotten herself transported to this strange land – was almost always a few missteps away from a grisly demise, be that via a hidden environmental trap or by the claws of a fast-moving zombie-like beast. Inevitably, I would falter and reload at my last checkpoint, often frustrated at myself for getting cornered or something similar – but every time, I was eager to jump back into the challenging world of Lost Ruins to explore more of the map and uncover its many secrets.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords players have come across a game-breaking bug in the newly-released Switch version. Because of it, there’s no way to progress all the way to the finish line.
Aspyr, the company that brought Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords to Switch, confirmed the issue on Twitter. When one fan asked if there is no way to complete the title currently, Aspyr acknowledged that this is the case. However, a patch is planned and will be distributed “as soon as possible.”

Sonic Frontiers’ marketing has been a rollercoaster
Posted on 2 years ago by Luiz in Features, Switch, Videos | 0 comments
Sonic as a franchise is in a curious situation right now. When we look at the hedgehog’s popularity, it is definitely at a high-point thanks to the successful movie sequel that was recently in cinemas. However, when we talk about the actual games, some would argue it’s been a while since we saw a solid release from Sonic Team.
Sonic Frontiers is the next mainline game coming out and expectations are all over the place. Thanks to a weird first impression, people are already worried about it. Right now, however, things are getting progressively better, with new footage and information about the game constantly being revealed and giving some hope for us fans.
I discuss this rollercoaster of events in today’s video, sharing my opinions on the matter. Feel free to check it down below.

[Preview] Desta: The Memories Between is dreamlike strategy dodgeball game where words can (literally) hurt
Posted on 2 years ago by Nicholas Serpa in Previews, Switch eShop | 0 comments
I’ve played games about dodgeball, and I’ve played games set in the subconscious dreams of their protagonists, but I would bet money that Desta: The Memories Between is probably the first game to combine those two concepts. It seems like a strange marriage at first glance, but after sitting down with one of the game’s producers to see the title in action at a Summer Games Fest media event, I’m at the very least intrigued to see how it will all play out.

Cuphead Switch physical release still happening, Delicious Last Course briefly considered as standalone game
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Back in 2019, Studio MDHR confirmed Cuphead for physical release. At the time though, the developer said it was waiting for The Delicious Last Course to wrap up development so that everything could be included on the cartridge.
We’re obviously well past 2019 at this point and the new DLC is almost here. Thankfully, Studio MDHR’s original plans haven’t changed. Executive producer and studio director Maja Moldenhauer reconfirmed to Nintendo Everything recently that the physical release is still in the cards for Switch, and more information will be shared “in the coming months”.
