“Explore a vast Yōkai world with friends”.

If you’re looking for another fantasy farming adventure with RPG elements, the Kickstarter project Tales of Seikyu (not to be confused with Bandai Namco’s Tales Of series) is one to watch. At the end of last month, this new game reached its $200K stretch goal – locking in a release on all systems including “Switch platforms”.

While the game is currently coinfirmed for the Switch, developer ACE Entertainment is also open to a release on Nintendo’s rumoured follow up system.

As ranked by you.

Some people might understandably associate the Tomb Raider series, like WipeOut and Crash Bandicoot, with PlayStation. Lara Croft shot to prominence as the poster girl of gaming in the lad-mag era of the late-’90s and feels forever tied to the cultural gaming cornerstone that is Sony’s debut console.

However, Core Design’s original game launched for Sega Saturn and PC, too, and while Sony negotiated console exclusivity for the sequel, the series has appeared on practically every game platform made since the turn of the millennium, including Nintendo platforms. And with the release of Tomb Raider I-III Remastered on Switch, we’re finally able to enjoy Lara’s original adventures in their original form (almost).

We would never steer you wrong.

In the magazine business, the Back Page is where you’d find all the weird goofs that we couldn’t fit in anywhere else. Some may call it “filler”; we prefer “a whole page to make terrible jokes that are tangentially related to the content of the mag”.

The GBA title is back.

Apart from the arrival of the Smash Bros. Sora amiibo this week, Nintendo has also revived Mario vs. Donkey Kong for Switch.

This one is a bit different to the average new release because it’s a remake of the 2004 Game Boy Advance title with a few new worlds, co-op mode and a new casual difficulty setting. We rather enjoyed the Switch version, but we’re now curious to know if our community will be picking it up.

Get ’em while you can.

Everyone is (finally) here.

With today’s release of the Sora amiibo for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the collection is complete. Every fighter now has a corresponding figure (excluding alternate costumes), Sakurai has announced that development is over, and Nintendo has put together a neat image to mark the occasion.

Shared in a post on Twitter, Nintendo highlighted all 94 Smash Ultimate amiibo in one beefy graphic. We wouldn’t have thought that a collection of plastic figures could look quite so epic, but we’d be lying if we said that we didn’t want to see this released as a poster.
