Haven

Earlier this year, Furi developer The Game Bakers announced its next project Haven. The studio has now revealed that it will indeed be coming to Switch.

Here’s an introduction to the RPG:

It’s been announced that the critically acclaimed game Cuphead is getting a brand new animated show. Netflix will be producing the series.

Hollywood Reporter states that the show “will expand upon the characters and world of the game, which centers on titular hero Cuphead and his brother Mugman who make a deal with the devil in a high-stakes gambling match.”

Aside from Netflix itself, King Features Syndicate is also involved. Chad and Jared Moldenhauer from Studio MDHR are executive producers. C.J. Kettler (Carmen Sandiego) will serve as an executive producer for King Features. Netflix Animation is handling its creation and is executive produced by Dave Wasson (Mickey Mouse Shorts). Cosmo Segurson (Rocko’s Modern Life: Static Cling) will also be a co-executive producer.

Daemon X Machina

Daemon X Machina producer Kenichiro Tsukuda has spoken about how long the game will take to complete.

Tsukuda believes the story mode could last between 20 and 30 hours. However, those who are looking to collect as much equipment as they can may find themselves going through the experience for 100 hours. Aside from collecting equipment, players can have characters join them to help fight in battle.

Below are Tsukuda’s full words on Daemon X Machina’s length:

Bethesda’s Pete Hines has again commented on the company’s support of Switch, and has shared some interesting information in the process.

According to Hines, a segment of Nintendo’s audience “plays other kinds of things on their platform that also likes our stuff.” On top of that, Switch’s userbase involves a good amount of players “whose entry point into the platform is our title.” Hines ultimately concludes that Bethesda is actually bringing new players to the console.

Have you ever wanted Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, and SEGA to be personified as anime girls? If for some bizarre reason you answer “yes,” then the Neptunia franchise should be right up your alley. Since the release of the first Neptunia game in 2010, this Japanese RPG series has presented fanciful takes on the age-old console wars. With Super Neptunia RPG, the franchise finally makes its debut on a Nintendo system, as well as its first foray into 2D game design. While this latest entry features all the charm and fast-paced gameplay that make the series so endearing, the larger package feels so rough around the edges that it can be hard to recommend.

Hello my beautiful weapon triangles! Fire Emblem: Three Houses is coming out in three weeks, so we’re celebrating by discussing all about some new details we’ve got on how the game plays and how Koei Tecmo was involved with Nintendo to make this game happen.

We also talk about some interesting comments from Nintendo on 5G, Cloud Gaming, VR, and a new control style they want to create for next-gen that will become the new industry standard. Peculiar stuff! Oni also gushes about Daemon X Machina and laments Bloodstained stumble onto the Switch.

If you’d like to support our show, you can help out by sharing the show with someone who hasn’t heard us before, and by rating us 5 stars on iTunes! We really appreciate all your support an thank you so much for listening!

Castlevania has been an incredibly important series for the entire medium of gaming. It has also had a long, illustrious life and popularity due in part to longtime series producer Koji Igarashi. The terms Metroidvania and “Igavania” had since been coined thanks to Castlevania’s unique direction of gameplay that usually requires the players to uncover large sections of a map by simply exploring. A huge portion of the fun comes from uncovering the area and seeing how seamlessly it all connects with each other as you run into locked doors and keys in various rooms and levels that intertwine before progressing even further. Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, the newest creation from Igarashi, would be a return to form to a more nostalgic time in video game history, with very little hand-holding and a freedom of exploration only interrupted by a player’s lack of curiosity. It’s without a doubt one of my favorite games to come out this year, but unfortunately, the Switch version of the game should not be the platform of choice when deciding to tackle an otherwise truly fantastic experience that’s been long overdue for fans of the genre.
