‘Super Meat Boy Forever’ will miss April release date

[ad_1] It’s not completely surprising that the game would take a little while longer. Super Meat Boy Forever is an endless runner, but it’s built with an element of procedural generation and plays more like the original than a typical mobile-style running title. It’s also slated to hit the PC, PS4, Switch and Xbox One […]

Switch Online adds ‘Punch-Out’ and ‘Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels’

[ad_1] Nintendo’s ever-growing library of NES classics that are playable on Switch will add two more entries on the 10th: Punch-Out!!!, Star Soldier and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels. Punch-Out!!! swaps in Mr. Dream for the game’s original boss Mike Tyson — hopefully without the Wii’s scaling-induced lag issues on HDTVs and with all […]

Now Amazon’s Twitch Prime comes with a year of Switch Online

[ad_1] Subscribers don’t get the full year free up front, however, so read the fine print. Those interested will need to head to Twitch’s website to claim 30 days free first, then come back after 60 days to claim another nine months of access. So while it’s a year total free, anyone wanting to enjoy […]

Nintendo could launch two new Switch consoles this year

[ad_1] The WSJ‘s sources are parts suppliers with access to a prototype. Those folks claim Nintendo will also eliminate the little-used HD Rumble controller vibration and other features in order to cut costs. Both Sony and Microsoft have released multiple versions of the PS4 and Xbox One, including higher-end and cheaper versions, in order to […]

Scream your head off to survive in ‘Supermarket Shriek’

[ad_1] Getting through the grocery store with your sanity intact can be tough — what with the legions of shelf stockers, geriatric Rascal riders and bawling basket babies blocking you at seemingly every aisle. But that’s a walk in the park compared to the challenges you’ll face in Supermarket Shriek by UK-based studio, BillyGoat Entertainment. […]

Nintendo’s Labo turns the Switch into a perfect VR gateway

[ad_1] With the Toy-Con Blaster, I fought off an alien invasion as I walked down a city street. It works like a shotgun: First you have to pull the barrel back, then you can hit a button to take out an alien. Again, I didn’t expect much, but the Switch still managed to let me […]

‘Hamsterdam’ is the rhythmic rodent brawler we’ve been waiting for

[ad_1] You play as Pimm, an unassuming denizen of the quiet town of Hamsterdam, who must defend his home and rescue his grandfather from the villainous Vermin Gang and its leader, Marlo the Chinchilla. That task involves beating the stuffing out of an army of rats, foxes, and a menagerie of other rodents using your […]

Four players fight for undersea supremacy in ‘Swimsanity’

[ad_1] I was afforded a quick demo of the game at the Nintendo Nindies event at GDC 2019 on Wednesday and it left me breathless. The visuals are bright with a slightly cartoony art style that lends to the lighthearted (albeit intense) action. The controls are equally crisp and responsive — players aim their fire […]

The Game’ arrives alongside the show on July 4th

[ad_1] When the Duffer Brothers said Stranger Things 3: The Game would tie in with the third season of the Netflix series, they weren’t kidding. Bonus XP’s suitably retro beat-em-up is due to launch on the Switch (and most likely other platforms) on July 4th, or the same day Stranger Things 3 is available to […]

This one goes on digital sale on April 18 for the reasonable price of $20. Next up, and arriving in “early summer,” is the Castlevania: Anniversary Collection. […]
