No tricks here.
Publisher The Arcade Crew has revealed that The Last Spell will be leaving Early Access on 9th March, and that means it’s also coming to consoles the same day — Switch included.
Developed by Ishtar Games, The Last Spell blends tactical RPG elements with procedurally generated gear and foes and tops it all off with a beautiful pixel art style and a heavy metal soundtrack. Definitely not a game for a quiet evening, then.

Coming to Switch in 2023.
Publisher Microids has shared the first gameplay trailer for UFO Robot Grendizer: The Feast of the Wolves, the upcoming action game based on the anime adaptation of Go Nagai’s manga from 1975. The manga and anime are considered classics in the mech genre, and this marks the IPs glorious return.
First announced in 2021, the project (developed by Endroad which is made up of former Ubisoft and Amplitude Studios staff) has been pretty quiet since that initial reveal, but it’s looking pretty slick if the trailer is anything to go by.

The little green dinosaur has been on our screens for a long time now — over 30 years, in fact — but did you know that his first-ever spin-off game was an underwhelming block-falling puzzle à la Tetris? Honestly, it’s a miracle that Mr. Munchakoopas (to use his full name) ever made it back into our hearts after that, given that we’d only ever known him as an excuse to try to capitalise on Tetris’ success, and an expendable resource in Super Mario World that helps Mario get extra height on his jump.

Fresh by name, fresh by nature.
Kicking off on 1st March, Splatoon 3‘s Fresh Season looks like it has learned from everything that its predecessor, Chill Season 2022, did well and amped up the content even more. Chill Season introduced a whole host of new weapons and stages alongside the headline reveals of Big Run and X Battles, and there are new weapons, new stages, updated features and even a new game mode incoming.
All of this is being gradually sent our way via the @SplatoonNA Twitter account, but with so much information to get through, these reveals can be difficult to keep track of.
