​After the successful release of Banner of the Maid on Switch and PS4 last August 12th, developer Azure Flame Studio is proud to announce that Banner of the Maid's first DLC, The Oriental Pirate, will be released on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch on September 15th. Meet Mu Zhiyun, an oriental pirate serving under Ching Shih who just arrived in Europe with a secret agenda. The Oriental Pirate is Banner of the Maid's first DLC and it will be available on the PS Store and the eShop for $4.99 / €4,99 / HK$35 (check the stores for your regional equivalence). You can watch The Oriental Pirate trailer below these lines.

Banner of the Maid is a mix of turn-based strategy and JRPG, set in an alternate French Revolution (late 18th to early 19th century) with fantasy elements and a unique anime art style. You play as the young officer Pauline Bonaparte, leading your troops to victory in turn-based dynamic battles – but also taking part in the complex political landscape of Paris, full of intrigues and conspiracies. But Pauline is more than just a brilliant officer – she is also a Maid, one of the fabled women with mysterious powers capable of turning the tide of a battle… A deep epic story full of twists, glory, and fantasy where the destiny of the Revolution lays in your hands.

PS4 keys for The Oriental Pirate are available, as well as review keys for Banner of the Maid (both PS4 and Switch versions)

In Banner of the Maid you will command the most iconic troops from the Revolution era in deep-turn based strategy combats with dynamic environments -- more than 30 different terrains, including cities, plains, snowy mountains, etc. with environmental changes like snow or fog which will force you to be constantly on your toes, adapting your strategy to every situation. Your generals, over 30 fascinating characters including historical figures like Desaix, Murat and Lannes among others, will all have different backgrounds and skills that can be trained and improved with experience– but you will have to talk to them to discover their stories, gain their trust and understand their hearts if you want them to reach their true potential. You will also take part in challenges and quests to gain political favor, funds to improve your weaponry and supplies – but be careful, for your actions may tip the balance of power in Paris…

After a successful release in China in May 2019, with a user approval rate of 89% on Steam, Banner of the Maid was released on Western markets fully localized to English last January on Steam and this summer on consoles.

REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A century before the events of the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild game, the Great Calamity occurred. Hyrule was plunged into darkness, devastated by an evil force which transformed the kingdom forever. While the Great Calamity is touched on in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for the Nintendo Switch system, fans have never experienced what happened before that catastrophic event … until now.

In the Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity game, which launches exclusively for Nintendo Switch on Nov. 20, players will be transported to the time before the Great Calamity happened, participating in epic battles against a backdrop of familiar locations in Hyrule before they were destroyed. The game stars recognizable characters from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild like Link and Zelda, as well as other characters like the four Champions, who will be playable for the very first time in the Hyrule Warriors series.

“Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is a must-play for fans of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild,” said Nick Chavez, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Roll up your blue tunic sleeves and get ready for a dramatic and surprising adventure through Hyrulean history this holiday season.”

Hyrule Warriors: The Age of Calamity features gameplay that will be familiar to fans of the Hyrule Warriors and Fire Emblem Warriors games. Focused on performing combos and over-the-top special abilities, the action-heavy gameplay is fast-paced and strategic, perfect for players looking for an intense, non-stop action game with direct ties to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. In addition to all the action, the game is loaded with a robust story that depicts the events, relationships and dramatic moments of the Great Calamity in captivating detail.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity finds plenty of inspiration from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – not just in its visual style. Many of the most popular and fan-favorite characters from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild are playable, including Link and Zelda. In addition to hacking and slashing their way through swarms of enemies to defend Hyrule, players will also solve environmental puzzles, unlock weapons and skills, craft materials, visit shops to obtain items and use the power of the Sheikah Slate, which fans will recognize from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

FRANKFURT, 07/09/2020 — We are proud to announce that the critically acclaimed WARTILE will come to Nintendo Switch by the end of this month. After months of hard work, the indie strategy adventure is now ready to unleash a horde of wild vikings to raid the Nintendo console on September 24th.

The Unreal Engine 4 powered tabletop homage comes with a bonus on Nintendo Switch as well: The previously released DLC, Hel's Nightmare, is right away included in this version of WARTILE.

​​You had them on your PC already. And yes, even on the PS4 and the Xbox. But now our Vikings from WARTILE will also raid the Nintendo Switch. Later this month, the complete edition with all previous DLCs included will hit the Nintendo console!

ABOUT WARTILE
Experience a living, breathing tabletop video game that invites the player into a miniature universe full of small adventures set in beautifully handcrafted diorama battle boards inspired by Norse mythology to honor the Vikings!

Wartile is a cool-down based game that keeps the action flowing, with ample opportunities to plan your moves. Although it contains the strategic elements from turn-based games, a mixture of slow down features and cool-down based gameplay maintains the tension of battle while allowing for breathing room to make tactical decisions. At its heart, Wartile is a game about positioning and tactical decision making.

About the included DLC:
Evil powers have been awoken and a horde of Draugr Warriors is pouring into the norse regions, leaving trails of death and chaos in its wake. The King of the North watches silently as villages are pillaged and its civilians captured and brought to Hel’s Pillar.

Once again your fellowship must raise arms against the undead threat. Enjoy five brand new handcrafted battle boards, continuing the story after Niflheim. Each battle board is offering variated tactical challenges, set in a unique mood and style. Lead your Viking fellowship into the Hel's Nightmare accompanied by the new hero Ogier the Dane.

The title featured new and returning fighters, stylish hand-drawn artwork, brand new combat abilities and mechanics, retro pixel character unlocks, and a soundtrack crafted in homage to the sound and style that made the original games so popular. 

After Donut Plains the Bowser castle track series is my least favourite across every Mario Kart Game
needless to say this time trial was incredibly bad!

Donut plains track series is and probably always will be my least favourite track series across the whole mario kart series and not just because Doughnut is spelt wrong either!
so you can expect a whole host of terrible very easy to beat times in this one!

I'm good at Ghost Valley tracks, and Koopa Beach and of course Rainbow road!
That's what I told myself before I began recording this series.
​I might have been good at all of them in the early 90's in 2020 it turns out I'm not!

Fastest time - 1.04.77

Another of my not so favourite track types choco I didn't have high hopes for this time trial at all and expect Kevin Williams and anyone else who wants to enter the hall of fame beat it by at least 5 seconds quite easily.

Choco Island 1
Laps - 5
Corners - 4
Chicanes (2)
Piranha Plants - 8
Mud Patches - 3

(Editor Notes) Their chocolate patches it's called choco island  clue is in the title! (Editor Notes) 

This is my second favourite track in the whole game after rainbow road.
So obviously this time will be incredibly hard to beat!
(Editor Notes) Keep dreaming (Editor Notes)

Oslo, Norway - July 30th, 2020 - Inconspicuous Creations is proud to reveal that its jive puzzler about a boogie-woogie worm wriggling its way through a series of mazes, Worm Jazz, is coming to the eShop for Nintendo Switch and Steam this summer. Can you dig it?

Worm Jazz is a unique, wriggly puzzle game that combines the elongating body mechanic of  Snake with the explosion-heavy demolition of Bomberman. You take control of Mr. Mark, an earthworm with a particular fondness for smooth jazz and dapper headwear. Writhe your way through the many intricate, mind-bending mazes filled with mines, wormholes, and powerups! Shrink when you blow yourself up and expand when you scarf down some chow. Are you able to gobble up all the food on each stage and reach the highly coveted golden apple?

The game might appear simple at first glance, but you are quickly presented with some painfully perplexing puzzles. Fear not, as Worm Jazz aims to offer a challenge for every type of player.  While puzzle aficionados and completionists will want to gobble up 100% of the food on each stage, casual players can easily unlock and progress through each of the game’s 50+ hand-crafted stages without much difficulty. The open-ended overworld offers branching routes, so you can choose which challenges to tackle first. As you venture through the world, new game elements such as wormholes and boulders are introduced along with new environments. Worm Jazz can be played at your own pace. There are no timers and every move can be undone. 

This laid back atmosphere is complemented by a swank soundtrack composed by jazz maestro Oliver Getz, who painstakingly put together loops of calming, upbeat tunes to chill out to. Worm Jazz can at times be a devious head scratcher for completionists, so the snazzy soundtrack offers a welcoming vibe in this labyrinth of brain busters. 

The initial prototype for Worm Jazz was created for the NM i Gameplay 2020 game jam, where it took home the grand prize. "It's certainly not a coincidence that the game was conceived at a game jam. In many ways, Worm Jazz feels a lot like a jam session," said Inconspicuous Creations founder and sole developer Yu He. "I think it's important that the game is instantly familiar, but at the same time be open to new elements that mix things up." He is hopeful that this is just the beginning and that the game will have a long tail ahead of it.


Launching on the eShop for Nintendo Switch this summer Worm Jazz will be available in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Polish, Arabic, Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

​SEATTLE, WA - July 29, 2020 - The Quantum Astrophysicists Guild and tinyDino Games are releasing The Ambassador: Fractured Timelines on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Steam August 13th, 2020 for $14.99 USD. There will be a 20% discount for the launch on all platforms. The game is rated ESRB T/PEGI 16. Review codes are available upon request and there is a review embargo in place until August 10th 2020.

The Ambassador is a twin-stick fantasy shooter centered around the ability to stop time. You'll play as Gregor, a newly recruited member of the Eternal Fellowship, and an Ambassador of Time. Just as you are learning to use your newfound powers, the Fellowship's capital city is mysteriously destroyed! As one of the only remaining fellows, you must find those responsible and return Tamaris to its former glory. Watch the newest trailer to get a feel for an interdimensional epic for the ages.

As tinyDino Games describes it: "We like to think of it as a mashup of all the indie games we enjoyed while learning how to make games ourselves.

REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A dazzling array of colors are ready to burst in the night sky above your island abode while the calming waves of the sea lap at the shore. Ring out the end of summer with weekly fireworks shows during the month of August when Summer Update – Wave 2* arrives to the Animal Crossing: New Horizons game for the Nintendo Switch system!
For those with a Nintendo Switch Online membership, the update adds the ability to sleep and enter dreams in the game and visit other people’s islands. It also adds a new island backup service that lets Nintendo Switch Online members back up the game’s save file. These features can all be enjoyed regardless of which hemisphere your island is located in.
Available starting on July 30, the free Summer Update – Wave 2 will add the following features to the game:

• Fireworks Shows – Enjoy atmospheric fireworks lighting up the sky above your island every Sunday in August at 7 p.m. Get in the spirit by redeeming Bells for raffle tickets in the plaza to get various festive items that you can use. Put your personal spin on the fireworks display by using your own custom design pattern to see it shot in the air as a firework in the sky!
• Dreaming – You can now choose to take a nap in any bed placed in your home.** While dozing off, you may find yourself in a strange realm where you’ll be greeted by Luna. Luna offers visits to other islands as a dream, and with her help, you can share your island as a dream with others too.*** She will grant those who share their island a “Dream Address” which players can exchange and use to visit each other’s island in a dream. In dreams, nothing is permanent because nothing you do is saved, so explore to your heart’s content.
• Island Backup & Restoration Service – Nintendo Switch Online members can enable the new island backup service, which automatically uploads island and user save data to the internet at certain times. If your Nintendo Switch system is lost or damaged, you may be able to recover your island paradise as long as you’ve enabled island backup. In the event of loss or damage, contact Nintendo Consumer Support about restoring the island and user save data on your new or repaired Nintendo Switch system. After your island data and individual player data is restored, you can get back to building your island community!**** Additional details can be found on the Nintendo Consumer Support page when the update goes live. The island backup feature is separate from the Save Data Cloud functionality offered for select Nintendo Switch games through Nintendo Switch Online. A function specific to Animal Crossing: New Horizons to move users and save data to another system is planned for later this year. Details will be announced in the future.

Take some time to relax this summer and remember to have a blast at the fireworks shows on your island getaway in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Coming up next is the free Autumn Update. We hope you look forward to it!

Tuesday, 28th July 2020 – Team17 and One More Dream Studios have today launched Ageless for PC and Nintendo Switch™. Set in a world of magic, Ageless is a puzzle platformer that follows the story of Kiara as she sets off on a journey of self-discovery. Armed with a magical bow that ages and de-ages flora and fauna to help her navigate the world around her, players join Kiara as she tries to uncover her truth in an emotive storyline

Key Features:

• Harness magic and manipulate life cycles: Use the power of Kiara’s magical bow to age and de-age flora and fauna and solve puzzles standing in her way
• Overcome the intricate world: Puzzle solving and precision platforming gameplay combine to create a compelling world to explore
• Uncover Kiara’s truth: Unpick and explore Ageless’ emotive storyline, and interact with various important characters with their own stories to tell.

 
Bala Vicknesh, Lead Developer, One More Dream Studios, said:
“One More Dream Studios has been hard at work making sure Kiara’s story is as wonderful and impactful as it can be, and as much as it’s daunting showing her to the world, we’re ready for players to join her in her journey. We had a lot of fun making this game and toying around with the ageing mechanics that lie at the heart of the gameplay experience, so we hope players have just as much fun with it!”

Chris Chester, Producer, Team17, said:
“Working on Ageless has been a wonderful experience for us at Team17, the game’s ageing and de-aging mechanic really helps distinguishes it from other puzzle platformers. Kiara’s emotional story of personal discovery is just the icing on the cake, and we’re happy to have teamed up with Bala and the team to make it all possible!”
 
A demo for Ageless can be downloaded from Steam, and to keep up to date with all the information on Ageless please like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, and join us on Discord.
