Wizards unite, and this time they can ALL be named.

In honor of its 10th anniversary, there will be a single package for all your Trine needs.

Modus Games and Frozenbyte have confirmed that the Trine Ultimate Collection will receive a Switch retail release this fall. In addition to having the whole series to date, the Ultimate Collection will include... Read more...

Farming takes to the high seas.

This October will offer a chance to try aquatic farming on Switch.

Stranded Sails: Explorers of the Cursed Islands, a popular PC overhead farming sim set on an archipelago, will be available in October. A physical version, including a special "signature edition" will also be available from Merge Games.

Aside from the cloud saves.

There are some hoops to jump through to have games on multiple Switch consoles, but Nintendo is aiming for a more elegant solution.

In an interview with CNET, Doug Bowser was asked about the portability of games for the system, specifically about taking a game on the road.

"I could see myself... Read more...

Including the return of an old friend.

The Switch is going on a diet in September.

Nintendo have announced the Switch Lite for release on September 20. The smaller form factor is a single unit, with no detachable controls, and trades the directional button for a d-pad. The system will not be dockable or connectable to a TV, and the IR camera and HD rumble were removed from the controls.

That should give you an idea of where they're headed with this.

After running and spies, 13AM Games is turning their attention to giant monsters.

The Canadian developers of Runbow and Double Cross have announced their next game, Dawn of the Monsters, for a 2020 release. Dawn of the Monsters is a four player brawler that focuses on defeating an evil race of monsters called the Nephilim.

It's on like... Stanley the Bugman, I guess.

The July update for NES Online has a cople of games and a much-requested new feature.

Launching July 17, the July additions to the service will be Wrecking Crew and Donkey Kong 3. The same lineup will be in place for Japan and the rest of the world.

Additionally, a rewind function will be included with the update. Holding down ZL+ZR will allow for the ability to move back on a timeline of the gameplay.

But before that, we go even FURTHER beyond.

New details have been released for Pokémon Sword and Shield in a trailer released today, which include a returning feature and an increase to a newly announced one.

New Pokémon:

A cute looking survival crafting game inspired by Zelda and Stardew Valley.

Nighthawk Interactive will soon be publishing a physical version of 2D openworld adventure game "Forager" for the Nintendo Switch. This release will have a few extra goodies, touting some stickers and an exclusive poster.

You will be able to pickup this release in North America on September 10th for $29.99, and will also be available in Europe a few days later on September 13th (with equivalent pricing).

The Super Mario 3D World theme has a problem.

Last night while playing Super Mario Maker 2 I discovered a software bug that I was able to replicate myself with the Maker. The bug will get Mario, or whomever you play as, stuck in a Warp Pipe and not able to do anything at the software level. System level features such as the Home and Capture button will still work. If time runs out during this glitch the game will still be stuck as Mario seems to have vanished and is unable to die.

I would call one of these releases a "Zach-ass game", but that's not why they appeal to him.

Now that we no longer have the powers of God and anime on our side, what can we play this week?

There's three downloadable card games this week for the West: Dragon Quest Builders 2 for those who can dig it sucka, God Eater 3 for the hunters in the room, and Zach Pinball. The other big release is actually more up David Lloyd's alley, as Dr. Mario World hits mobile. Please be excited.

Last year was a heat wave, this year had a magnitude 7.1 earthquake. What's next, frogs swarm the LACC?

Smiles should still be free, right?

WayForward has revealed more details about their upcoming Arc System Works collaboration, including a surprisingly close release date.

The RPG/brawler hybrid River City Girls will hit Switch on September 5, for a MSRP of US$29.99. The new twist on the River City franchise sees the girls have to rescue their boyfriends, Kunio and Riki, by working their way through six different parts of River City.

Anna's so busy trying to get an alternate version in Heroes she forgot to go crazy with the pricing.

As with previous Switch RPGs, Fire Emblem: Three Houses has recruited an expansion pass.

The US$24.99 pass will reward buyers with an appropriate costume for Byleth (the teacher) beginning on launch day. The eShop has three other items listed in the pass:

In addition to plumbers, Italy also produces horror games.

Publisher Darril Arts has called the game a spiritual successor to the Clock Tower franchise from Capcom. A sequel (Remothered: Going Porcelain) has already been announced for a 2020 Switch release.

That reminds me of a puzzle...

The bonus copy will be claimable until June 29, 2020.

Someone set up us the bomb.

So how do we celebrate this week of national birthdays?

With not a lot, as it turns out. The biggest ones are the much-hyped Stranger Things season 3 isometric action game, with maybe, hopefully, the app from the publisher of Stranger Things along for the ride. There's also a few takes on personal relationships between Clannad, Dream Daddy, and the now-confirmed What Remains of Edith Finch.
