Shantae developer WayForward created Mighty Switch Force! for 3DS back in 2011, with a sequel that followed roughly two years later. Both eventually found their way to Wii U. All of these years later, WayForward looks to be revisiting the Mighty Switch Force! titles once again.
Mighty Switch Force! Collection was rated in Europe for Switch and other platforms today. The classification mentions four titles. This suggests that along with Mighty Switch Force! and Mighty Switch Force! 2, it’ll also include the Steam games Mighty Switch Force! Hose It Down and Mighty Switch Force! Academy.

Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Snack World: The Dungeon Crawl Gold was classified in Australia today. That should be the English name for The Snack World: Trejarers Gold, which launched for Switch in Japan last April. Level-5 is naturally attached to the rating.
There was first talk about Snack World heading west as early as October 2017. However, Level-5 has yet to make any official announcements. The new rating in Australia suggests that we’re coming closer to news being shared soon. If we hear anything from Level-5, we’ll be sure to let you know.

What’s good, spider balls and morph balls! It’s bonus time! We had so much to talk about in NEP 026 that we made it double the length! We’ll also be doing an EXTRA episode during the week: a spoilercast for Chocobo’s Mystery Dungeon: Every Buddy!
In this episode of NEP, we discuss Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Thieves, the controversy of Persona 5 not being announced for Switch and the community’s negative reaction. This leads us to talk about reality vs expectation, vocal gaming culture and how some gamers handle disappointment. We then lighten things up by talking about Super Mario Maker 2’s upcoming release, Nintendo’s financial briefing (including Pokemon and E3 details), and some more information about Nintendo and Tencent Holdings partnership to break into the Chinese market with the release of Nintendo Switch. And even more!
We hope you enjoy the extra effort this week! As ever, we would appreciate your help in growing the show by sharing the podcast with a friend!

It’s just another ordinary day: Hell has frozen over, pigs are soaring across the skies, and you’re playing Final Fantasy X on a Nintendo console. What was once thought impossible has become a delightful role playing reality. The series infamous for its break with Nintendo has come back home with plenty of classic games in tow, and this remarkable trend continues with the release of Final Fantasy X and its direct sequel on Switch.

[Review] Cytus Alpha
Posted on 5 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: April 25, 2019
Developer: Rayark
Publisher: Flyhigh Works
Music has always been essential in games since the beginning of time, spanning from chiptune to various forms of electronic based music with MIDIs, synths, and beyond, to the more contemporary live orchestrations. It’s no shock then that rhythm games – where the core focus is music itself – would gain popularity and only continue to grow thanks to the likes of Dance Dance Revolution and Guitar Hero. Recent hits help remind us about what makes the rhythm genre so great, not only giving us tons of great songs to play through, but introducing clever and inventive ways to play. That trend continues on Switch with Cytus Alpha – a re-imagining of one of mobile’s most enjoyable and highest grossing games.

Earlier in the week, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was updated to version 1.6.0. As we know, the main highlight was the addition of Nintendo Labo VR Kit support. However, that apparently wasn’t all, as we’re hearing that performance was improved.
Entering Shrines appears to have received a noticeable improvement. Comparisons indicate that loading was reduced by as much as five seconds.
Below are a couple of comparisons:
