Hit play in May.

Bytten Studios and Raw Fury have announced that the Pokémon-inspired monster-fusing RPG Cassette Beasts is coming to consoles, including Switch, on 25th May. You’ve only got a month to wait until you can get funky with some unusual, adorable pixel art creatures.

The game is out today on PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store, and the reviews have been pretty darn glowing for this new take on the monster-taming genre. Our friends over at Rock Paper Shotgun call it “a smart, evolutionary offshoot” (but go read their review right now if you want to know why), and we can’t wait to dive in next month.

A closer look at Fuji and Pirilika.

We still don’t know much more about the Western release date of Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless besides that it is coming our way at some point in ‘Autumn 2023’, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t get clued up on the game’s protagonists, Fuji and Pirilika, in the meantime.

Fortunately, a new character trailer (found above) released today gives us a taste of what we can expect from our heroic pairing.

This just in: Bokoblins hate apples.

To say there’s been hype surrounding The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom would not just be an understatement, but a fairly poor opening line to any sort of hands-on feature.

On an unrelated note, Nintendo recently invited us to go and have a go at The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom at their European headquarters in Frankfurt. We got a whopping 70 minutes with the game, which felt like no more than ten with all the stuff we wanted to proverbially bathe ourselves in, so how did it hold up? Has this so-called hype been justified?

You have my sword.

The countdown to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is very much on, and in the run-up to the game’s release Nintendo is taking a look back at Link’s journey with the Master Sword throughout the series.

From what we have seen of Tears of the Kingdom so far, it’s fair to say that the legendary blade has seen better days and, fortunately, all of those ‘days’ are showcased in a recent video published by @NintendoUK on Twitter.

The final wave of the Expansion Pass has arrived.

Nintendo surprised Xenoblade Chronicles 3 fans last week when it announced the “final DLC” for the Expansion Pass would be arriving this week on April 25th. In an update, it’s now officially gone live!

Ahead of the game’s release next month.

If you’re looking to ruin some friendships, then boy, do we have a game for you. Dokapon Kingdom Connect launches on Switch on 8th May 2023, and this hybrid board game RPG has a bit of a reputation for being a brutal time with friends.

Originally released on the PS2 before jumping over to the Wii in 2008, Dokapon Kingdom was developed by cult studio Sting which created Treasure Hunter G, Baroque, and the Dept. Heaven series which includes Riviera: The Promised Land, Yggdra Union, and Knights in the Nightmare. Sting is known for its eclectic collection of RPGs, and Dokapon Kingdom is no different with the strongest heroes in the land attempting to battle it out to collect the most tax money for the king to win the princess’s hand in marriage.
