Guns up.
If you’re a fan of Hotline Miami and have been itching for something similar on Switch, then the upcoming top-down shooter Otxo (pronounced ‘oh-cho’, by the way) could be one to keep an eye on.
Launching on 28th March, 2024, Otxo features a pixel art visual approach with a black and white colour palette; apart from the incredibly bright, gruesome blood, of course. Utilising a roguelike structure in which you can gain upgrades by purchasing various beverages, you’ll be gunning down foes left and right with gameplay that isn’t too dissimilar from Hotline Miami itself.

History in the making (of).
With Switch now into its eighth year and Nintendo’s head chefs deep into software prep for the next console, remakes and remasters are the order of the day, with a platter of old favourites being served up in this twilight period for the current system.
We got the excellent Super Mario RPG late last year and the Mario vs. Donkey Kong remake in February, which was preceded by the Nintendo-published Another Code: Recollection. In May GameCube classic Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is incoming, with Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD arriving the following month. And that’s only first-party stuff.

RPGee.
We’re back with the latest look at the UK charts and after seeing things get mixed up a little last time, normality has returned this week.
There are no newbies in the top 40 this time around. Last week’s surprise Switch hit Unicorn Overlord has seen a pretty substantial fall from 7th to 25th, while the previous gold medallist, WWE 2K24, has dropped to third.
