[Review] Subsurface Circular
Posted on 6 years ago by Philip(@P_Trah) in Reviews, Switch eShop | 0 comments
System: Switch (eShop)
Release date: March 1, 2018
Developer: Bithell Games
Publisher: Bithell Games
With the growing popularity of Switch, developers all across the industry are seeing just how big of an impact Nintendo’s newest console is having on the market. As a result, the system has received an influx of not only third-party developed games, but also a barrage of creative and imaginative indie titles. One such title, Subsurface Circular, is now making the jump to the Switch after its initial release in August 2017. Developed by Mike Bithell Games, the same developer responsible for Thomas Was Alone, Subsurface Circular takes an interesting approach to one of the earliest video games genres ever created: the text-based adventure.

Peter Molyneux’s The Trail: Frontier Challenge sees stealth launch on Switch
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Update: Bumped to the top. The Trail: Frontier Challenge will launch in the Americas on March 8.
Original: Last year, The Trail: Frontier Challenge from Kongregate and 22cans released on Steam. Much like with Outlast yesterday, out of nowhere, the exploration-driven simulation game has now unexpectedly landed on Switch. This case is even stranger as we previously had no idea that The Trail would be making its way to Nintendo’s console.
The Trail: Frontier Challenge is a reworked version of 22cans’ mobile title that first appeared a couple of years ago. Peter Molyneux, the creator of Fable, Populous, Black & White, and other games, founded 22cans in 2012.

New wave of Super Mario Odyssey costumes datamined from the 1.2.0 update
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo isn’t done with updates for Super Mario Odyssey. It’s unclear if the game will be getting any additional free modes or paid DLC in the future, but there are at least new costumes on the way.
Thanks to last week’s update, which added Luigi’s Balloon World, we may have a pretty good idea as to what Nintendo has planned. Dataminers have plucked through the files from version 1.2.0 and have found many new hats and costumes – complete with their descriptions.
