Nintendo Announces Nintendo Switch (OLED Model) for October

Rumors of a 4K-ready Nintendo Switch have been swirling for a few years now, rumors that became something of a tornado just before E3 this year. E3 2021 came and went, though, with no announcement of new hardware. Today, Nintendo has finally announced the next model of Switch, the Nintendo Switch (OLED model),  whose primary enh...

'Capcom Arcade Stadium' Full Games List by Title, Release Date, and Co-Op

Capcom Arcade Stadium launched on Switch earlier this year before eventually arriving on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC.

Making sense of those DLC packs and the scope of the collection can be daunting, so here's a full games list sorted by title, release date, and co-op features.

Skellboy Refractured Co-Op Review

Over a year ago, Umaiki Games released a charming but fairly unpolished Zelda-style action-adventure called Skellboy on Switch and Steam. Now the game has been re-released after extensive reworking as Skellboy Refractured. The new version adds an extra dungeon, more boss fights, performance improvements, and most importantly, 2-player local co-op. ...

Solve Sci-Fi Logic Puzzles in 'A Tale of Synapse: The Chaos Theories'

One of my favorite things about video games is when they take us to strange new worlds and civilizations. That certainly applies to A Tale of Synapse: The Chaos Theories from Spanish developers Tesura Games and Souris-Lab. Just released on Nintendo Switch and Steam, A Tale of Synapse pairs up an odd couple of aliens as they solve puzzles and learn ...

'Bake 'n Switch' Gets Tasty Update on Nintendo Switch

Cooking makes for great party games - just as Overcooked. Streamline Media Group's Bake 'n Switch is just such a game, although it's a lot less concerned with recipes than you might expect. This one's all about throwing cutesy living buns into the oven at all costs, making for a simpler and more streamlined experience. The Switch version recently received a big update that will also come to Steam in August.

Streets of Rage 4 'Mr. X. Nightmare' DLC Busts Out a Release Date and Trailer

Streets of Rage 4 floored classic gaming fans with its tight gameplay and amazing graphics and soundtrack when it arrived back in early 2020, but things have been quiet for DotEmu's beat 'em up since then. That will finally change when the 'Mr. X Nightmare' DLC and a separate, free title update arrive later this month.

Tribes of Midgard Arrives Later This Month on PC and PlayStation

Around this time last year (which only feels like 5 years ago), we heard about a new action-survival game called Tribes of Midgard, which showed players running around a world fighting monsters from Norse legends, collecting materials, and building a home base. The title looked promising - particularly as it supports up to 10 players online - and during this year's Summer Game Fest, we finally got news of an official release date. Fell giants and defend the Seed of Yggdrasil with your buddies on July 27, 2021.

Co-Op Monthly Round-Up for June, 2021

That was a wild month, huh? Seems like the industry has re-discovered how much fun a good PvE-co-op experience can be based on all those announcements made during the various E3- and Not-E3-showcases. Sadly our happiness is a bit dampened by the fact that many of those titles - especially the high profile ones - don't feature good old local couch multiplayer. Either the hardware requirements are too high for classic split-screen or connecting you with your friends through the series of tubes called the internet is the prefered way to go for the developers nowadays. We don't know and don't judge. We are just happy we have so much to look forward to even if our Database Master was sweating hard adding all those games. In the end our database saw an addition of 380 old, new and upcoming titles in June which also meant we breached the barrier of 9.000 entries!
