Shantae and the Seven Sirens

System: Switch
Release date: May 28, 2020
Developer: WayForward
Publisher: WayForward


It’s crazy to think that it’s been almost twenty years now since the half-genie hero, Shantae, was introduced to the gaming world way back on the Game Boy Color. The debut entry not only laid the foundation of what would become a long-running and incredible platforming franchise, but at the time pushed pixel art to the absolute limits of its associated hardware. The series laid dormant for quite some time before Risky’s Revenge popped back up in 2010, and since then has seen a ton of success with a healthy schedule of releases. Now Shantae is back on an all new adventure that fine-tunes the HD art from Half-Genie Hero, and brings another incredible Metroidvania that sees new and old faces alike joining in to save the day.

After it was announced over a year ago, Samurai Shodown NeoGeo Collection has finally been given a release date. The game will launch via the eShop on July 28 followed by a physical edition sometime this summer, SNK has announced.

Here’s a bunch of information about Samurai Shodown NeoGeo Collection as well as a trailer:

The creation of LEGO Super Mario has been a long process for both LEGO and Nintendo. Since 2015, the two sides have been working together to see how they could bring a unique product to life.

Nintendo Switch

Nintendo has prepared the latest system update for Switch. Starting today, all users can access version 10.0.3.

Those looking for major features or additions will unfortunately be disappointed. Nintendo says that the update includes “general system stability improvements to enhance the user’s experience.”

Switch version 10.0.0 dropped in mid-April, which included new features like button remapping and an option to transfer data between the system memory and an SD card. It was then followed up with version 10.0.1’s stability improvements about a week later. Version 10.0.2 launched at the end of April and fixed an issue where a Switch console with version 10.0.0 or 10.0.1 wouldn’t set up a new Switch Pro Controller, sometimes causing incorrect joystick control.
