Death Squared

Yesterday, SMG Studio sent a press release to confirm that Death Squared was indeed coming to the Nintendo Switch on July 13th, in Eurppe and North America.

For those who never heard of Death Squared before: it has you control a colourful crew of cubic robots through a science facility filled with traps and dangerous things. Players must communicate to solve puzzles through trial and error, with new rules and mechanics being frequently introduced, all tailored around teamwork. Each robot must make it to their respective color-coded waypoint.

The game features a campaign with 80 levels (playable with one or two players), 40 party stages (for 1 to 4 players), and unlockable vault content. What’s more, the Nintendo Switch version features brand-new and exclusive puzzles.

Here’s a trailer:

Nyoki Nyoki Tabidachi Hen

Nyoki Nyoki Tabidachi Hen is the latest puzzle game from Masamitsu Niitani, the creator of the Puyo Puyo series. When it was announced for the Nintendo 3DS, Compile-O specified that it was just the first platform to get it. And the second one will be… the Nintendo Switch! This version of the game will be released in October 2018, if everything goes well.

And by everything, we mean the crowdfunding campaign that was launched today. Compile-O is looking for 10 million Yen (80 000€ / $90 000 / £71 000). As of writing, 19 people have pledged 525 000 Yen, with 77 days to go. If you’re interested, you can check out the crowdfunding campaign on this page (NB: only available in Japanese).
