[Review] Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland
Posted on 5 months ago by Dawn in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: September 9, 2024
Developer: Wallride
Publisher: The Mix Games Inc.
Rugrats is one of those cartoons that seems to get better with age. As a child I enjoyed watching the adventures of the babies as they transformed the everyday into something new and exciting, and as an adult I can appreciate the dry humor and now very relatable struggles of their adult parents. Although they have featured prominently in Nickelodeon titles, it has been some time since the Rugrats have had a game to themselves. Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland, their first solo outing for many years, feels like a platformer taken straight out of the era when they were at their most popular, for better and for worse.

Today, publisher Gameloft and developer HarperCollins Productions announced a new Switch game based on the Carmen Sandiego franchise. A release is planned for Q1 2025.
The new project is based on the animated series that ran from 2019-2021. Players will take on the role of Carmen Sandiego herself as they look to stop the criminal organization VILE. Player, who appeared on the Netflix show and references the unseen live-action figure from the 1994 animated series Where on Earth Is Carmen Sandiego?, acts as your sidekick and helps out with “navigating missions, solving puzzles, and outsmarting VILE operatives.”

[Review] Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club
Posted on 5 months ago by Nicholas Serpa in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: August 29, 2024
Developer: Mages / Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo
I like it when Nintendo gets weird. It’s usually at about this point in their consoles’ lifespans, well after they’ve sold roughly a bajillion Mario and Zelda titles, when we see them start to resurrect dormant franchises and experiment in genres that other platform holders are ignoring. So, here we are – it’s 2024, and Nintendo decided now is the perfect time to release a new entry in in the Famicom Detective Club series of visual novels, which hasn’t seen a new entry in 27 years. Emio – The Smiling Man has some compelling ideas driving its core mystery about a serial killer with an unsettling modus operandi, and initially, it had hooked. Unfortunately, this story’s lethargic pacing, tedious writing, and general lack of meaningful character development fails to live up to the high bar set by earlier entries in the series.
Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp dev explains how the parntership with Nintendo came to be

A new Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp developer interview gives us insight as to how the partnership between Nintendo and WayForward came to be.
This was a milestone release for a number of reasons. WayForward, best known for its Shantae series, was finally able to work with a Nintendo IP. Advance Wars was also dormant for about 15 years, as Days of Ruin was the last entry having hit the DS in 2008.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was almost called Zelda: Tears of the Dragon
Posted on 5 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo has spoken about the name for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and revealed that there was strong consideration for calling it Tears of the Dragon instead.
That tidbit comes from Eiji Aonuma, the game’s producer. Aonuma was speaking about Tears of the Kingdom in the newly-released art book, indicating that the Tears of the Dragon name could cause issues since it would “emphasize the Light Dragon”. Only after another member of the team suggested “Kingdom” that the final title materialized.

[Review] Ace Attorney Investigations Collection
Posted on 5 months ago by Dawn in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: September 6, 2024
Developer: Capcom
Publisher: Capcom
Although it has been several years since we’ve had a brand new instalment in the franchise, there’s no denying that fans of Ace Attorney have been fairly well catered-to over the last few years. With the arrival of Ace Attorney Investigations Collection, we now have every title in the series (except for the Professor Layton spinoff anyway, which will probably be the next thing we get before a new game) available to us on Switch, including the three that were never released in the West. This collection brings us two entries that take a refreshing approach to the gameplay formula that is definitely worth investigating for fans and newcomers alike.
