Coming in June.
Aksys Games is bringing Falcom’s action RPG Tokyo Xanadu eX+ to Switch in June 2024. The publisher announced this during today’s All Aksys event, which was streamed on Twitch.
Tokyo Xanadu eX+ is an enhanced version of the PS Vita RPG Tokyo Xanadu, which was released back in 2015. Taking place in an alternate reality of Tokyo, which was hit by an earthquake in 2005, the city has only just recovered from the devastation. However, things aren’t as calm as they seem, as high school student Kou Tokisaka soon discovers. Kou is sucked into another world called ‘Eclipse’ and he eventually teams up with classmate Asuka Hiiragi to seal the eclipse vortexes.

A game as massive as The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was always going to have a couple of bugs just waiting to be found by the glitch hunters out there. Since its launch, we have seen players discover ways of getting infinite items, fire immunity, even one-hit weapons, but none have felt quite as personal as this — skipping the game’s introductory area.
Let’s not forget, Breath of the Wild‘s Great Plateau was such a sticking point for the glitching community back in the day, with the possibility of skipping it becoming the holy grail of all discoveries. The answer is still yet to be found, so it’s natural that certain players would take to the TOTK equivalent, The Great Sky Islands, with the same level of skippable optimism.

Lookin’ sharp.
Poor Switch Lite. Although Nintendo’s smaller, budget-friendly handheld certainly has its audience, there’s no doubt in our mind that it pales in comparison to the Switch – OLED Model thanks to the latter’s far superior screen.
This could well be a thing of the past, though, as YouTuber and handheld specialist Taki Udon has created a prototype mod that replaces the standard LCD screen in the Switch Lite with an OLED screen. What’s more, Udon has stated that the mod shouldn’t cost too much to implement, with prices ranging from $25-$50 based on overall interest.
