Three games on a single cartridge.

TY the Tasmanian Tiger has made a comeback in recent years, and now to add to this, Krome Studios and U&I Entertainment have announced a new physical game bundle for the Nintendo Switch. There’s no release date or price just yet.

The TY the Tasmanian Tiger: Bush Rescue Bundle will come packaged with TY the Tasmanian Tiger HD, TY the Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue HD and TY the Tasmanian Tiger 4: Bush Rescue Returns. And don’t worry, in this collection, all three games will be included on a single cartridge with no download required.

Nothing to Raph about.

We are back, back, back for another edition Box Art Brawl!

Last time we matched up three regional covers for the DS’ Super Scribblenauts and it was North America’s character-focused design that walked away with the win, receiving 55% of the vote. Europe followed in second with 33% while the Japanese variant brought up the rear with 12%.

“Thank you for your interest”.

Get them ‘Eclipsed, pronto.

We’re big fans of Digital Eclipse’s work, especially the studio’s recent approach to documenting the stories of landmark games and their creators, exploring video game history in the medium’s native habitat. Atari 50 was its first ‘interactive documentary’ title to launch, with The Making of Karateka kicking off the ‘Gold Master Series’ in August 2023 followed by Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story just recently.

Speaking with Wade Rosen, CEO of Atari (who acquired Digital Eclipse late last year), it seems that rather than curtailing licensing opportunities with outside companies, the firm’s acquisition may open up doors that were previously closed and streamline negotiations for new projects.

Straight and narrow.

The surprising phenomenon of indies casting Hollywood talent continues with Open Roads, a three-hour narrative adventure. But then this is the latest release from Annapurna Interactive, a publisher of both films and games, which has a few similarly voice-acted examples in its back catalogue – the delectable The Artful Escape and less-well-received 12 Minutes to name a couple.

Open Roads is the product of Open Roads Team, a studio made up of former Fullbright (Gone Home, Tacoma) employees. It began as a Fullbright project until allegations of toxic workplace behaviour led to the departure of creative lead and company co-founder Steve Gaynor; following delays, development eventually continued with much of the original team under the new name.

Birdie!

The weekend is here, which means it’s time to dive into what we’ve all got planned with our Switches (and other consoles too, we guess).

Before that, however, let’s take a look at what’s been going on this week. First up, the Switch got its latest firmware update, and although it’s not the most exciting thing in the world, we always appreciate a bit more stability with our consoles. Nintendo also announced that F-Zero Maximum Velocity would be coming to NSO (and it’s out now!), while rumours started to gather pace about a potential Xbox handheld to give the Switch a bit of competition.

The team is already working on “Update II”.

After a troubled launch, Aspyr has now rolled out its first major update for the Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection on the Nintendo Switch.

This update features “ample changes” to the multiplayer and dedicated servers, which will apparently provide a “much better experience” across all platforms. Aspyr has also mentioned in this announcement how its work “continues” on the second major update, with more information to be shared when it’s ready.

Howdy, Knuckles.

The blue blur is back in the headlines this week with the Sonic 3 movie director Jeff Fowler yesterday confirming the latest movie has now wrapped. Apart from this, Paramount is also gearing up for the release of the Knuckles series, which will air on its streaming service next month.

With this mind it’s now released a new promotional poster seemingly drawing inspiration from Sonic’s original animated movie outing dating back to the ’90s. As highlighted by Nintendo Wire, Knuckles is wearing a cowboy hat in this new post, which is a direct throwback to the animation.
