There's at least one Kickstarter backer looking to be credited as Jay Obber.

The Eric Moussambani of Switch crowdfunding continues to struggle with launching the game.

Backers were notified today - one week ahead of the latest scheduled release date of August 23 - that the game was delayed due to an unspecified date. The email notification confirmed that although the original code for the game was done, the game had not yet gone through Nintendo's approval process, so no new date was provided.

One of the more unique prelaunch promos we've seen.

The early cases of the new Famicom Detective Club will be available starting on Monday night (ET).

Nintendo have announced an expanding demo for August's Emio: The Smiling Man - Famicom Detective Club. The first episode will be available on August 19 (Monday) at 9 p.m. ET, with additional episodes released on the 22nd (Thursday) and 27th (Tuesday) ahead of the full launch on the 29th.

Luckily there shouldn't be anything around it.

A busy September has added just a bit more whimsy.

Devolver Digital have announced the side scrolling platformer The Plucky Squire will release on September 17 for Switch and other platforms.

The Plucky Squire was announced in 2022 as a collaboration between former Game Freak employee James Turner and Curve Digital founder/Fluidity lead Jonathan Biddle.

No listing in NA as of yet, but there's a chance of Greg being a harbinger.

A game many never expected to be localized looks like it's coming to the West after all, if an Australian eShop listing is any indication.

Arceus save me from this sea of AI generated crap for my birthday, please.

Things we missed last week: Tecmo's Stackers (1995 puzzle game) in the Archives and the standalone versions of classic Doom I and II were combined into a new package (for less money and with better WAD support) at QuakeCon with the standalone versions being discontinued. Note that if you own both (as I did) it's a free download.

Adding Breath of the Wild exploration to a 2D world sounds like something Reese would cook up.

We have new details about the exploration of next month's Echoes of Wisdom.

The near-six minute long trailer (available below) shows how Zelda navigates the world, showing the now-ubiquitous races such as Zora (in both Sea and River residence) and Gorons as well as some Deku Scrubs. Some new abilities... Read more...

A summer vacation, an isekai, and an otome sounds like the setup for a joke. It's not. It's just the tip of the anime spear.

Things we missed last week: World of Goo 2 came out at $29.99 US or equivalent, and Konami's boxing title The Final Round was the Archives release.

The top of the card seems pretty straight forward this week: the big games as featured in the last Indie World show are the double-shot of RPG that... Read more...

The march toward the DS continues, but how much of a boost did Luigi and Mario's remakes provide?

At the close of the Japanese business day today, Nintendo officially revealed their financial results for the April - June quarter - their first of the fiscal year, with a couple of Mario remakes attempting to stem a seemingly inevitable reduction in financial results compared to last year's Tears of the Kingdom/Super Mario Bros movie debut period.

Welp, that's one thing we don't have to put on the bingo card for the inevitable Pokemon Presents.

The Game Boy Advance library for NSO Expansion Pack subscribers is getting some roguelike love next week.

Nintendo has confirmed that Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team from 2006 - one of the last first party GBA games in the West - will be added to the library on what Nintendo is calling the 9th of August (though it will likely be the night of the 8th in North America).
