Bright and colorful battles will make their way to the Nintendo eShop this week…

Leading things off is Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido, a head-to-head puzzler from Nintendo for the 3DS and Switch. In Sushi Striker, players must defeat enemies and bosses by devouring a meal of matching plates and sushi types. If that sounds too wild, Switch owners can also now download BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, a crossover fighter that mashes together characters from Arc System Works’s BlazBlue, Atlus’s Persona, French Bread’s Under Night In-Birth, and Rooster Teeth’s RWBY web series.

For RPG fans, Versus Evil and Stoic will bring The Banner Saga 2 to the Switch this week. And Switch owners who enjoy side-scrolling brawlers will get the chance to try out Saber Interactive’s Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn this week as well.

You can learn more about the rest of this week’s additions to the Nintendo eShop (including Iro Hero, Milanoir, Operation Hardcore, and more) after the break. (more…)

Vampyr, Onrush, BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, more coming to PS Store this week

Posted on June 6, 2018 by John Scalzo

Victorian vampires and wild racing lead the way in this week’s PlayStation Store update.

Dontnod Entertainment has left the high school hallways of Life Is Strange behind, and ventured back to the grimy streets of Victorian London in Vampyr, which will be available to download this week for the PS4. The action RPG will be joined on Sony’s digital storefront by a pair of racing games, Onrush from Codemasters and MotoGP 18 from Milestone.

Also this week, PS4 players will get to experience the brutal battles of Arc System Works’s crossover fighter, BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, and Saber Interactive’s side-scrolling blast-from-the-part, Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn.

Finally, Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls Online expands once again with the release of its Summerset expansion this week.

New Retail Releases: Vampyr, Sushi Striker, Onrush, More

Posted on June 4, 2018 by John Scalzo

The bold and the bizarre highlight this week’s New Retail Releases…

Dontnod, the creative team behind Life Is Strange, are leaving suburbia for the streets of Victorian London and Vampyr (PC, PS4, Xbox One) this week. The RPG infects players with the bloodsucking disease and asks them to save (or doom) the city from the 1918 flu pandemic.

Speaking of unusual meals, Nintendo is hoping players will be interested in a brand new competitive puzzler this week, Sushi Striker: The Way of The Sushido (Switch, 3DS). Build the ultimate sushi plate and do battle with bosses to stop the Empire’s tyrannical monopoly of the world’s sushi supply.

And Codemasters is back this week with Onrush (PS4, Xbox One), an extreme racing game that gives player the chance to “traverse huge ramps flying hundreds of feet through the sky.”

But if you’d rather participate in extreme fisticuffs, Arc System Works will release BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle (PS4, Switch), a crossover fighter that brings together characters from the BlazBlue, Persona, Under Night In-Birth, and RWBY franchises. Shoppers will also be able to slam it home as Shaquille O’Neal this week as the basketball great returns to take up side-scrolling brawling once again in Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn (PS4, Switch, Xbox One).

Finally this week, Switch owners can look forward to Happy Birthdays, the latest game from Yasuhiro Wada, the creator of the Harvest Moon series. PS4 and Xbox One owners will get their chance to try out the latest Elder Scrolls Online expansion, The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset. And Koei will launch the latest game in the Nobunaga’s Ambition franchise, Nobunaga’s Ambition: Taishi for the PS4.

That’s all for now, but we’ll be back later this week with a look at all the new additions to the PlayStation Store, Xbox Games Store, and Nintendo eShop.

If you missed all the action during this weekend’s EVO tournament, you might also have missed Arc System Works’s announcement of BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle, a new 2D fighter that’ll include characters from BlazBlue: Central Fiction (Ragna the Bloodedge), Persona 4 Ultimate Arena (Yu), Under Night In-Birth (Hyde), and RWBY (Ruby Rose).

Konomi Higuchi, an Illustrator at Arc System Works, will serve as the game’s Lead Character Designer, and more characters will be announced at a later date.

BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle is currently in development for at least one console, and is expected to be released in 2018. The game’s first trailer has been embedded above.
