My Friend Pedro

Deadtoast and Devolver Digital have announced that My Friend Pedro will be released on June 20th worldwide. The game is already available for pre-purchase in Europe and North America, where it costs 19.99€ / $19.99 (but with a pre-purchase and launch discount: 15% off).

Here’s the latest trailer for the game, along with some more details:

My Friend Pedro is a violent ballet about friendship, imagination, and one man’s struggle to obliterate anyone in his path at the behest of a sentient banana. The strategic use of split aiming, slow motion, and the ol’ stylish window breach create one sensational action sequence after another in an explosive battle through the violent underworld.

Boxing Champs

Raz Games have announced Boxing Champs for the Nintendo Switch. It’s a boxing game (bet you didn’t see that one coming!), releasing on June 20th in Europe and North America for $14.50. It will be available for pre-purchase on the Nintendo eShop from June 12th in Europe and June 13th in North America, with a 25% off discount.

Here’s a trailer, some details, the list of key features, and some screenshots for the game:

Mixing top-down arcade gameplay with more traditional boxing mechanics that use both analog sticks, Boxing Champs delivers a solid arcade-style experience akin to ‘80s and ‘90s beat ‘em ups … with a touch of Punch-Out!!
Boxing Champs features full player control over punch selection, combinations, and knockouts. The game also allows players to challenge friends in local multiplayer (online is in the works) or in a full-blown Career mode with 30 preset characters and short three-round bouts. Custom boxers are supported as well – thanks to a robust customization system packed with 70+ hairstyles, hair color, body color, body type, gloves, shorts, and boxer stats. Finally, Boxing Champs features multiple arenas (including Las Vegas, New York, and Los Angeles) and four different champions that stand between players and the unified title.

To win, boxers need to snap the jab from the outside and throw combinations – or get inside with hooks and uppercuts to deliver the winning blow. At the end of the road, the goal is to unify the titles and become the undisputed World Champion.

Boxer customization: Choose from 30 preset boxers – or create your own, with 70+ hairstyles, hair color, body color, body type, gloves, shorts, and boxer stats.
Defeat four champions: You’ll need to win all four belts to unify the title!
Full punch control: Use a traditional button-driven control scheme or feel every punch as you move the analog stick in the direction you want to hit!
Multiple arenas: Fight in Las Vegas, New York, Los Angeles, the Downtown Gym – or the Boxing Champs Arena.
Career mode: Create your boxer, train, and move up in the world rankings.
Single-player and multiplayer: Take on the AI or challenge friends for all the title belts. (Online multiplayer coming soon!)
Cartoon-like graphics and sound: Nostalgic without having to resort to pixel art
