Review: Mineko’s Night Market – Cosy Fun With A Few Knots In The Fur

This little kitty went to market.

Editor’s Note: As described in the text below, a glitch towards the end of Mineko’s Night Market prevented us from 100% completing the Switch review build. We’re told that the development team is working on fixes, and patches applied pre-launch resolved other issues we initially encountered.

While irritating, the bug didn’t affect our enjoyment up to that point, so we’re publishing this review based on our time with it prior to that late-game issue (approximately 16 hours). We’ll update the review should this problem not be resolved.

Feature: “We Wouldn’t Give The Silent Hill IP To A Team Like Yours” – Dementium: The Ward’s Origins And Switch Return

Atooi boss talks Hatch Tales’ delays and reviving a cult classic.

Over 15 years since its initial release on the Nintendo DS, horror FPS Dementium: The Ward is getting a re-release on the Nintendo Switch eShop, utilising the 2015 3DS remaster as its foundation.

While its creepy low-fi visuals and disturbing creature design have attracted a cult following over the years, Dementium remains a fairly niche title that, until now at least, has been fairly difficult to get hold of since the closure of the 3DS eShop earlier this year.
