CounterAttack Uprising Launches Today On Switch

CounterAttack Uprising Launches Today On Switch

, , , , 8

Developer Relative Games’ customizable shmup, CounterAttack Uprising, was originally a PC exclusive when it launched in 2019. Since then console versions of the game have sprouted up gradually, first on XBox and now, today, on Switch. New additions to the Switch version include two new levels (Anomaly and Gate), a redesigned player selector, 25 new attachments and a lot of bug fixes. CounterAttack Uprising is your typical bullet-hell shooter, but with a “customizable” twist that means you have the ability to choose from eight different characters, each with their own unique ship: , Ayumi (Tactical Nuke), Biff (Big Biff Beam), Marcus (Meson Shockwave), Joe (Overcharge), Sarah (Quantium Shield), Sloane (Fighter Squadron), Carl (Plasma Strike) and Jinx (Hack Wave). But it doesn’t stop there. As you play the game, you’ll unlock new weapons, powers and upgrades, and can modify your ship any way you like. There are over 600 attachments to find, meaning no two games will be the same. “Being on a Nintendo console is a dream come true,” says

Developer Relative Games has announced its customizable shmup, CounterAttack Uprising, will be arriving on Nintendo Switch one week from now, September 28. Originally a PC exclusive when it launched in 2019, the game has gradually migrated to consoles, first to XBox and now to Switch. CounterAttack Uprising is your typical bullet-hell shooter, but with a “customizable” twist that means you have the ability to choose from eight different characters, each with their own unique ship: , Ayumi (Tactical Nuke), Biff (Big Biff Beam), Marcus (Meson Shockwave), Joe (Overcharge), Sarah (Quantium Shield), Sloane (Fighter Squadron), Carl (Plasma Strike) and Jinx (Hack Wave).

Hyper Sentinel Goes Physical On Switch…And On Cassette

Hyper Sentinel Goes Physical On Switch…And On Cassette

The space shooter Hyper Sentinel will be released in physical form on Switch soon, thanks to the efforts of VGNYsoft. Just like their previous release, the game will come in both standard and limited collectors’ editions. There’s something extra this time, however. The standard version of Hyper Sentinel is just the game card in its case for $34.99. What they call the Elite Edition will come with a 24-page booklet, a metallic-sheened cover and a certificate of authenticity…and it’s actually just five bucks more, so if you’re going to get this game, you might as well splurge. Note that VGNYsoft has no limit on the standard version, but has pledged to just make 3500 copies of the Elite Edition. ELITE EDITION INCLUDES: Physical Cartridge 24 Page Chronicles Booklet  Certificate of Authenticity Premium Metallic Effect Cover Individually Numbered ONLY 3500 UNITS PRODUCED IT WILL NEVER BE REPRINTED  But that’s not all. Hyper Sentinel is also coming to cassette. Cassette? Remember these things? Pepperidge Farm remembers and so does VGNYsoft. They’re releasing

The Demo Is Out For Star Ocean: The Second Story R

The Demo Is Out For Star Ocean: The Second Story R

, , , 7

Curiously absent from yesterday’s Nintendo Direct was the announcement of a free demo for Star Ocean: The Second Story R. The demo was released a short time after the Direct, clearly timed to ride hype from it, yet….no mention. You had to follow the official Star Ocean Twitter account (or Wario64’s) to be notified this was a thing. One thing’s for sure — no one expected this demo so soon, almost two months ahead from the date of release. Square’s other demos have counted any progress you make in the sampler to those in the finished game, and it’s the same here…you can start legitimately playing Star Ocean 2 R with this demo. You just can’t get very far. For not only does the Star Ocean: The Second Story R demo automatically end once you clear a certain area (there was a screen that told me exactly where, but I can’t get it to appear twice), it’s double-restricted by a time limit of three hours. You might think they did

Publisher VGNYSoft has announced their latest physical release for the Switch: a collectible edition of the shooter shmup Overdriven Evolution. The game is standard for this genre: you must fly your spaceship through waves of enemy craft, shooting them down while dodging a ton of projectiles. You’re trying to take down the Kruuthian empire, a task that requires you to “destroy huge bosses, dodge thousands of bullets, and resolve quick puzzles with your powerful spaceship!” The game features seven game modes to test your pilot skills, four selectable difficulties, over fifty artifacts to collect, 75 in-game achievements and a local leaderboard. No online play, but a local co-op mode supports up to four players at once. The “Elite Edition” of Overdriven Evolution is a limited collectors package containing a bonus booklet, an alternate cover and a certificate of authenticity. Less than 4000 will be made and VGNYSoft promises they will never print another batch of it.

This Week’s Nintendo Switch Online Update Is A Weird One

This Week’s Nintendo Switch Online Update Is A Weird One

, , , , , , 9

We’ve got some new 8 and 16-bit games coming to Nintendo Switch Online today, but I doubt anyone expected any of them. The first, Kirby’s Star Stacker, was only released in America as a Game Boy title. There was a Super NES version, but it came out in Japan in 1998, and Nintendo’s last batch of first-party SNES titles for the West was released at the end of 1997. What we’re getting is the SNES version, released in the US for the first time. The downside is it’s the unaltered original with Japanese text, so you may find navigation a bit difficult. But it’s not alone. Four games were added to NSO today and THREE OF THEM are in Japanese. Both titles added to the NES library are Famicom originals. Downtown Nekketsu March Super-Awesome Field Day! is the mouthful title for what’s actually a Kunio-Kun game. You know Kunio-Kun from all those “River City” beat-em-ups. Joy Mech Fight is an interesting experience; the fighting game craze of the 90s mostly

Mario returns to the world of 2D once more this fall in Super Mario Bros Wonder, but the experience won’t be quite as flat as you think. Due to the “wondrous” properties of certain flowers native to the area he’s exploring, the world of the Flower Kingdom will be quite unpredictable. So what’s Bowser up to this time? He hasn’t just taken control of a castle, he’s turned himself INTO the castle! And with his newfound power he’s wrecking everything. We’re gonna need more than just Mario to clean up this mess. Super Mario Bros Wonder contains a record number of playable characters including Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, two Toads, Yoshi and Nabbit. Fist off let’s address the ELEPHANT in the room. Yes, all characters can morph into pachyderms by finding a specific flower, at which point they will have the ability to smash hard blocks, drink water and spray it, attack enemies from a distance, and more. But you can also find a Drill power-up that lets your character

GuliKit Announces The Ultimate Game Handheld Dock

GuliKit Announces The Ultimate Game Handheld Dock

Video game console / handheld hybrids are a growing business. Nintendo’s Switch started it all, but competitors chose to adapt PC games to a handheld format, like the Steam Deck, the ROG Ally, and others. A lot of gamers own more than one now. The one problem is you need a separate dock to charge each of them, or play them on the TV. GuilKit, a third-party accessory company that mostly makes controllers, announced a new type of product at Gamescom today, designed to solve this problem: a yet to be named all-in-one dock. Any modern gaming handheld will fit in it, they all will charge and they all will display on the TV. The prototype is currently being shown off at GuilKit’s Gamescom booth. For reasons that are yet to be explained, they made it look exactly like an American Super NES. The back has a lot of ports: USB-C Out, four USB 3.0 ports, HDMI 4K 60HZ, Ethernet, and the AC adapter that powers it all. But all

CounterAttack Uprising Announced For Switch

, , , , , 7

Developer Relative Games has announced its customizable shmup, CounterAttack Uprising, will be arriving on Nintendo Switch in the third quarter of 2023. The game was originally released in 2019 for PC, and later made its way to XBox. The pictures and video suggest CounterAttack Uprising is your typical bullet-hell shooter, so what does the “customizable” part mean? It first means you have the ability to choose from eight different characters, each with their own unique ship, but it gets more in-depth from there. As you play the game, you’ll unlock new weapons, powers and upgrades, and can modify your ship any way you like. There are over 600 attachments to find, meaning no two games will be the same. “Being on a Nintendo console is a dream come true,” says Tyler Boyes, founder of Relative Games. “To mark the occasion, the Switch port of CounterAttack is introducing a new subtitle – Uprising – which puts the spotlight on the game’s sprawling narrative. Once we launch on Switch, all other versions

All The Announcements From A Wondrous Nintendo Direct

All The Announcements From A Wondrous Nintendo Direct

, , , , , 4

Today’s Nintendo Direct, released while most of you were asleep, was a WONDER in many ways. We’ll get to why we emphasized that word in a bit, but it has something to do with the Elephant Mario in the splash image. Perhaps the biggest surprise was that most of the rumors were true. Usually when social media starts hoping for a remake of Beloved Game X to appear, it doesn’t. But this time Super Mario RPG, after years of curious absence from Nintendo Switch Online, made an appearance as a fully HD remake, with talking clouds, rude purple alligators, Boshi, and everything else people love. In the same video Nintendo also confirmed two solo games for Peach and Luigi are also in development for 2024. But there’s more…the Star Ocean 2 remake was ALSO real! And it’s not a rehash of the PSP version….it’s rebuilt from the ground-up in a gorgeous 2D-HD style that preserves the PS1 sprite characters while bringing the rendered backgrounds to life. More importantly, the English

Nintendo Switch Online Gets Kirby, Harvest Moon And More

, , , , , , , 5

It’s been months since the NES and SNES categories of Nintendo Switch Online were updated. They were the libraries that started this whole service, but as time has gone on the number of available titles you can add that aren’t already there has dwindled. Yeah, there are some popular third-party games that are still absent, but that’s because their respective holders consider them too valuable to give away here. As for Super Mario RPG….no, we still don’t know what the case is with Super Mario RPG. Nintendo managed to find two games that weren’t there yet, though, and they added them today in a surprise update that also updates the Game Boy library with two more titles, for four altogether. The biggest surprise of the bunch is the original Harvest Moon, released for the SNES in 1997 when no one bought games for the SNES anymore. Because of its scarcity, its value has skyrocketed, and the only available copy beyond the SNES cart was the Wii U version, which you
