Drawn To Life: Two Realms

Drawn To Life: Two Realms was recently leaked for Switch through a rating from Taiwan. The leaks continue today, as the debut trailer has come online ahead of the official announcement.

Drawn To Life: Two Realms is an entirely new entry in the series. It’s also confirmed to be launching on December 7, meaning it’s just a month out.

Here’s the trailer:

Friday the 13th: The Game Ultimate Slasher Edition

Gun Media is moving on from Friday the 13th: The Game. It’s been announced that a final update will be released this month, which will tackle a ton of bugs and more importantly, end dedicated servers.

After servers are shut off, Friday the 13th will still have online functionality. The game is reverting back to peer to peer matchmaking for Quick Play lobbies.

Here’s the full notice posted on the official forums:

System: Switch
Release date: November 3, 2020
Developer: WayForward
Publisher: Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment


The last time Bakugan saw any sort of video game outside of mobile devices was back in 2011 with Rise of the Resistance on DS. Almost nine years later, to the dot, the series is back with Champions of Vestroia. I don’t think Bakugan ever had that sort of grip or longevity something like Yu-Gi-Oh! or even Beyblade has, but it’s gathered enough of a following to warrant continued support of the property so many years later, especially now with the new Switch game. The anime continues on with Bakugan: Armored Aliance following a sort of “reboot” with Battle Planet prior to that, so Champions of Vestroia just adds to a big push from SEGA Toys and Spin Master for the series to return to the forefront where it once sat as Property of the Year in 2009.

Pikmin 3 Deluxe

Pikmin 3 Deluxe debuted around the world towards the end of last week on Switch. While we don’t have concrete data, GamesIndustry does have an interesting tidbit about the game’s performance.

The site is reporting that physical launch sales for Pikmin 3 Deluxe on Switch were 18.5 percent lower than the Wii U original. Keep in mind that digital data isn’t included, and we do know that eShop sales are stronger these days.

Pikmin 3 Deluxe ended up at #7 in its first week on the UK charts. We have the full top 40 here.

NEP 103 podcast nintendo direct

This week on Nintendo Everything Podcast, we’ve got so much to say about the excellent Nintendo Direct, No More Heroes, Cloud gaming on the Switch, Bravely Default II, the Hyrule Warriors demo, and more. This Direct was basically made for Oni Dino. Galen has some theories on Nintendo’s new plans for mid-generation reform with Cloud gaming. Also, that Hyrule Warriors gameplay is surprisingly complex; come for our early impressions. Later on, we answer some listener mail where we talk about video games inspiring or impacting us as an art form.

There are only a couple of months remaining in 2020, but Nintendo still had one final Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase in store for the year. Another presentation aired on Wednesday.

The Nintendo Direct Mini had a few announcements, surprise releases, and more. In terms of what’s entirely new, No More Heroes 1 and 2 were finally announced – and immediately released – for Switch. Speaking of surprise launches, Part Time UFO dropped on the Switch eShop, as did Control Ultimate Edition – Cloud Version. Other new announcements included Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town, Hitman 3 – Cloud Version, Griftlands: Nintendo Switch Edition, and Surviving the Aftermath. There were a few game updates as well, including first proper gameplay of No More Heroes III, a final release date for Bravely Default II, and a new look at Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity – complete with a demo. We have a full recap announcement outlining everything that was shown here.
