Who will survive, and what will be left of them?
Being able to elicit fear with simply a sprinkling of pixels and a well-timed soundtrack is an art form.
Horror games come in all shapes and sizes, with varying levels of gore, ghouls, and grisly details. While the Switch is home to some incredibly realistic horror, the most influential scary games on the console are arguably those made in RPG Maker.

But rollback netcode has been confirmed.
After a sign was spotted earlier this week at PAX West, Arc System Works has now confirmed the fighting game Guilty Gear Strive is on its way to the Nintendo Switch.
While it’s set to offer up the entire package (including the 28 currently available fighters), one thing it seems it will be missing is crossplay. The game’s producer Ken Miyauchi has confirmed on social media platform ‘X’ that it won’t be in this particular release, but hey – it’s still got rollback netcode:

It’s still dark in there.
Nintendo has dropped a brand new trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, and we finally know a little bit more about those rifts that cover Hyrule.
The Still World is a brand new location that probably reminds you of the Dark World by its name alone, but it’s a little bit more than that. In these rifts, Hyrule is literally torn apart, with people and objects floating in mid-air, frozen in time forever.

Re-roll.
Many of us were so blinded by the announcement that Pauline would be joining Super Mario Party Jamboree that we failed to look closer at the new website’s contents. And yet, coming back to it with a clear head, it seems that a bunch of returning minigames were also teased.
The website highlights a boatload of the 110+ minigames that we can expect to find in Jamboree, the majority of which appear to be new, but there were a couple hidden in the roster that looked strangely familiar. ‘Platform Peril’ from Mario Party 1? ‘Granite Getaway’ and ‘Snow Brawl’ from Mario Party 6? Mario Party 4‘s ‘Three Throw’?! All the following snaps are from the new website, so it looks like we have a couple of returning guests to look forward to.
