Rumor: Persona 3 Reload, Metaphor: ReFantazio planned for Switch successor
Posted on 11 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors | 0 comments
Two Atlus games could end up on the Switch successor as it’s claimed that both Persona 3 Reload and Metaphor: ReFantazio are coming to the system.
Persona 3 Reload has been a particularly curious case as Atlus has been supporting Switch more than ever before with the series. It took some time, but Persona 5 Royal, Persona 4 Golden, and even Persona 3 Portable are all available. You can also throw in Persona 5 Strikers and Persona 5 Tactica.

[Review] Turnip Boy Robs a Bank
Posted on 11 months ago by Dawn in Reviews, Switch eShop | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: January 18, 2024
Developer: Snoozy Kazoo
Publisher: Graffiti Games
It’s not very often that you find a game that will actively encourage you to commit crimes, with most that even give you the option of doing so attaching a suitable punishment: placing a bounty on your head so that authorities will attack you on site, changing your name to “THIEF” so that everyone knows your true nature, or even outright killing you if you return to the scene of the crime in future. Turnip Boy Robs a Bank sees the titular hero returning to commit further crimes after his successful tax evasion, this time in the form of a roguelite experience that, despite its flaws, is as delightfully charming and nonsensical as its predecessor.

New images have been shared that give us a look at some early Switch menu mockups. X user PaulFelixKelly posted the shots earlier today.
The screenshots were discovered on a prototype Switch NAND. However, when exactly they were taken is a bit unclear. Although the pictures are marked as being created in 2015, they were included in an “Album” Test folder, meaning the date ranges can be wrong and only be given for in app display purposes.

August 29: Atari today announced qomp2, a creative sequel to Pong that explores the scenario if the ball escaped the paddles. It’ll be available on Switch in 2024.
qomp2 adopts the indie game qomp from 2021, with Graphite Lab handling development. Things pick up where the story left off, telling a tale of the pursuit of freedom and personal identity. There’ll be classic two-button controls and a playfully simplistic setting that rings true to the classic Pong.
Here’s an official overview:

Atlus: Persona 3 Reload not planned for Switch, would need to be discussed
Posted on 11 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Persona 3 Reload isn’t in the works for Switch, but Atlus isn’t ruling out the idea entirely.
Director Takuya Yamaguchi and producer Ryota Niitsuma were asked about the possibility of the RPG on Nintendo’s console in an interview with Atomix. The two explained that Persona 3 Reload was never planned for the platform. It’s a possibility for the future, “but it’s a matter of discussing it with the team and seeing what they think about it and we’ll see what happens.”
Their full words are as follows:
