[Review] Ys IX: Monstrum Nox
Posted on 3 years ago by Amit Dhindsa(@Agnezenn) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: July 6, 2021
Developer: Falcom
Publisher: NIS America
While the Ys series has had a small but fiercely dedicated following for many years, Ys VIII was something of a turning point. With a shift to a more open world structure and a greater focus on story, as well as porting efforts that saw the game come to numerous platforms including Switch, the game was a success both in terms of sales and increased mindshare for the series. Ys IX: Monstrum Nox is finally here to follow up on its predecessor’s breakout performance, and outside of some technical hiccups, it does so admirably.

Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News | 0 comments
Nintendo decided to drop some pretty big news earlier this week. A new Switch OLED model will be launching on October 8, just in time for Metroid Dread.
This new unit isn’t the 4K-compatible device that had been rumored, but there are still some notable upgrades. As the name implies, you’ll be getting a nicer, 7-inch OLED screen. That’s on top of a wide adjustable stand for tabletop mode, a new dock with a wired LAN port, 64GB of internal storage, and enhanced audio for handheld and tabletop play. You can catch up on the full announcement here.
How are you feeling about the Switch OLED at the moment? Will you be picking one up come October? Let us know in the comments below.

Below is out our full translation of the column, which also touches on Sakurai’s thoughts on fighting games compared to Smash Bros., where combos fit in the series, and more.
