Diablo III, World of Final Fantasy, Transistor, more coming to Nintendo eShop this week

Posted on November 1, 2018 by John Scalzo

“Beloved Game Comes to the Switch” has been a tried-and-true throughout the entire year and eight months of the console’s existence. It’s time to dust it off once again this week as a handful of well-loved games will finally make their way to the Switch in the latest Nintendo eShop update.

Blizzard’s Diablo III: Eternal Collection leads the way this week, and it’ll be available to download through the eShop beginning tomorrow, November 2. The Switch version of Diablo III will include the original Action RPG, as well as the Reaper of Souls expansion, the Rise of the Necromancer Pack, and an exclusive Ganondorf Armor Set.

Square Enix’s World of Final Fantasy Maxima will launch later this week (on Tuesday, November 6), and it’s an enhanced and updated rendition of the crossover RPG. Players will be able to recruit a wide variety of Champions from Final Fantasy lore and do battle with “Mirages” of a multitude of monsters from the franchise.

Yet another RPG will make its Switch debut this week as Supergiant Games brought Transistor to Nintendo’s console beginning today. Transistor blends Supergiant’s trademark audio wizardry into a game that blends together “thoughtful strategic planning” with action-packed sword swinging. Also available to download today is a pair of acclaimed indies from Cellar Door Games, including Rogue Legacy, a “hereditary” roguelite, and Full Metal Furies, a new take on the multiplayer brawler.

If you’re all RPGed out at the moment, Bandai Namco’s Taiko No Tatsujin: Drum N Fun! will roll onto the Switch beginning Friday, November 2.

Finally this week, Double Fine surprise-launched Grim Fandango Remastered for the Switch just in time for the adventure game’s 20th anniversary and the remaining developers from Telltale Games will bring Minecraft: Story Mode Season 2 to the Switch on November 6.

You can learn more about the rest of this week’s additions to the Nintendo eShop (including Moonlighter, Brawlhalla, Carnival Games, and more) after the break. (more…)

One of the PS3’s greatest games is now available on the PS4 as Sony has added The Last of Us Remastered to the PlayStation Store in their latest weekly update. The Remastered edition of The Last of Us includes everything that made the original game great as well as both Map Packs (Abandoned Territories and Reclaimed Territories) and the Left Behind single-player expansion.

This week also marks the beginning of the PlayStation Store Play promotion and Cellar Door’s Rogue Legacy is the first game on the docket. Rogue Legacy is a platformer with roguelike elements (which the developer refers to as “rogue-lite”). The game is Cross-Play compatible (PS3, PS4, and Vita) and features a procedurally generated quest with “wicked sweet fart jokes.”

Speaking of the Vita, several new titles are now available for Sony’s handheld, but this week’s big new release is Ratchet & Clank Collection, a portable compilation of the duo’s first three PS2 adventures. If you’d prefer something a little newer, WB Games released Lego Ninjago: Nindroids, based on the brand-new television show, for the Vita yesterday.

You can find more on all of these titles (and a few other new releases) after the break. And for a full breakdown of this week’s new game add-ons, please head over to the PlayStation Blog. (more…)

2014 PS Store Play promotion includes Rogue Legacy, The Swapper, Hohokum, CounterSpy

Posted on July 22, 2014 by John Scalzo

Sony has announced that their annual indie games promotion, PlayStation Store Play, will begin next week with the release of Rogue Legacy. It will be followed by three more releases throughout the month of August: The Swapper (August 5), Hohokum (August 12), and CounterSpy (August 19). Best of all, every PS Store Play title is Cross-Buy, so all four games will be playable on the PS3, PS4, and Vita.

As in years past, purchasing multiple games will net you a rebate from Sony. If you buy two PS Store Play titles, you’ll receive a code for a $3 credit in September. If you buy three titles, your credit will double to $6. And if you purchase all four games, you’ll receive a $10 credit.

One final announcement… if you’re a PlayStation Plus subscriber, you can pre-order any of the PS Store Play titles at a 20% discount. So go play!
