Yoku’s Island Express

Here’s the latest trailer for Yoku’s Island Express:

Yoku’s Island Express (Switch – eShop) comes out next year in Europe and North America.

Wargroove

This month, the developers of Wargroove are introducing the various types of units found in the game. After the Soldier, last week, it’s time for the Archer unit to get some juicy details. As mentioned previously, they’re the only ground units that can move and attack at a distance in the same turn, while still being able to capture structures.

They can also counter-attack, which is something neither Ballistae and Trebuchets can do. They don’t deal much damage, but thanks to their passive boost, they can deal more damage if they don’t move in the same turn.

Wargroove (Switch – eShop) does not have a release date yet.

Max: The Curse of Brotherhood

Max: The Curse of Brotherhood will be released on Nintendo Switch on December 21st in Europe and North America. If you’re interested in trying out this game (either because you played it on other platforms and would like to see what’s different on Nintendo Switch, or because you’re just curious about it), you will be able to download a demo for it later this week. Keep an eye out on this page to find out when it’s live!

forma.8

Speaking of demos, there’s another game getting one soon… forma.8! If everything goes well, it should be released before Christmas, but nothing is confirmed just yet. Just like the one for Max: The Curse of Brotherhood, this page will be updated when the demo is live.

Simple Mahjong Online

Today, Arc System Works announced another downloadable game for the Nintendo Switch: Simple Mahjong Online. Despite the name, it can be played in Single Player, though obviously, its main selling point is the multiplayer (from to 2 4 players). There’s also tutorials for beginners.

Here’s the trailer:

Simple Mahjong Online (Switch – eShop) will be released on November 21st in Japan, where it will cost 800 Yen. It’s been added to the Upcoming Games page!

Pinball FX3

Here’s the Accolades Trailer for Mutant Mudds Collection on Nintendo Switch, releasing tomorrow in Europe and North America:

Mutant Mudds Collection (Switch – eShop) comes out on November 14th in Europe and North America. Today is the last day to get the special pre-purchase discount!

The End is Nigh

Here’s the launch trailer for The End is Nigh on Nintendo Switch, now available in Europe and North America:

Inversus Deluxe

Another success story for the Nintendo Switch! Yesterday, the developers announced via Twitter than in just 10 weeks, the Nintendo Switch version of Inversus has already outsold the one on Steam (which was released more than a year a go). It’s not yet the most popular platform for the game (that’s still the PlayStation 4), but it’s “on trajectory” to be.
