Across the Obelisk, a roguelite deck-building role-playing game with a unique cooperative multiplayer experience, will receive a new Hero Pack: Nenukil, the Engineer, and a new Story Pack: The Obsidian Uprising, both of which will release on May 15, 2024. In addition, a large free content update will be available the same day, including localization in French and German.

The Obsidian Uprising adds a new story map that takes players back in time 30 years to the dwarven city of Black Forge, discovering a thrilling new chapter in the story of Senenthia and granting access to a customizable new pet. Both packs add more content to the game including new cardbacks, pets, and more. Each pack will be available individually for $4.99/£4.29/€4.99.
In addition to the two new DLC packs, a free content update will be available for Across the Obelisk on May 15.

The Night of the Rabbit, published by Daedalic Entertainment and developed by Matthias Kempke, is a tale of young Jerry and his adventures in the mystical realm of Mousewood. The game is available now for the Nintendo Switch.
Lose yourself in a tale of magic and wonder, where anything is possible and nothing is quite as it seems. Join young Jerry on a captivating journey to the wondrous realm of Mousewood, a land where critters can speak and mysteries abound. It is here that Jerry’s dream of becoming a magician is realised, though a haunting, sinister force casts a long shadow over the forest.
Mousewood’s residents are lured by an offer they can’t refuse–tickets to the greatest magic show the world has ever seen–but this comes at a grave cost. As the dangers unfold, they have only Jerry to turn to. In an adventure filled with laughter and tears, joy and fear, the young protagonist faces the ultimate trial, leaving behind the world he once knew, along with his own childhood.
Developed by Matthias Kempke, who believes that “games design is all about creating new worlds to be explored by players,” The Night of the Rabbit is a story-driven exploration/adventure game with beautifully handcrafted 2D art, full voice-acting and puzzles reminiscent of classic LucasArts adventures. The narrative starts off light-hearted and funny but soon shifts to a dramatic and thought-provoking tone over 20 hours of gameplay. This multi-layered story features original character and world designs based on short stories written by the game’s creator, included as in-game bonuses.
Now, with the game coming to the Nintendo Switch, players can immerse themselves in the multi-layered story and its original world design with the convenience of handheld gaming. The Night of the Rabbit promises to be an unmissable adventure for both long-time fans and newcomers alike.

On July 18, the Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition game kicks off its worldwide — or just living room-bound — competition on the Nintendo Switch family of systems! And for those whose NES roots run deep, prepare for the nostalgia-plosion that is the Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition – Deluxe Set.

Both old-school and new-school players can enjoy the rush of over 150 speedrun challenges taken from 13 classic NES games. Warm up by setting and beating your own best times in the single-player Speedrun Mode – unlocking new challenges and unique in-game pins along the way – then up to 8 players* can compete locally in Party Mode. Nintendo Switch Online members** can also enter World Championships Mode to submit their best times in five challenges that rotate each week and compete for a spot on the global leaderboard. Test your mettle against speedrun challenges taken from these NES titles:
• Balloon Fight
• Donkey Kong
• Excitebike
• Ice Climber
• Kid Icarus
• Kirby’s Adventure
• Metroid
• Super Mario Bros.
• Super Mario Bros. 2
• Super Mario Bros. 3

Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition – Deluxe Set ($59.99 MSRP) and the digital version of the game ($29.99 MSRP) are available for pre-order at Best Buy, GameStop, Target and other select retailers. Also, those seeking the most authentic NES feel can snag a pair of optional Nintendo Entertainment System controllers*** ($59.99 MSRP), available to paid Nintendo Switch Online members

Publisher Prototype and developer LIFE0 have announced that their romance visual novel “Seven Days” will be released in Japan on June 6th, 2024, for the Nintendo Switch with English support. A new trailer was released, which you can check above.
Seven Days originally launched for PC in 2017 but then jumped over to PS Vita in 2018. An English-localized version made its way to Steam in 2019, but nothing has been heard from the game until today. This updated Switch release will include touchscreen controls, one-hand Joy-Con support, and both the extra chapter “The Purple Envelope” and the extra CG added in the PS Vita release.
About the game:
A couple of days before the summer holiday starts… Kanzaki Shuuichi receives a “cursed Blu-ray disc” from one of his friends.
Playing it at home, a female ghost emerges and possesses him. Sairenji Murasaki, Shuuichi’s childhood friend, expels the evil spirit with the exorcism skills taught by her father, who runs a time-honored Japanese Buddhist shrine. The ritual, however, is only partially successful, somehow behind leaving the physical human form of the female specter.
She identifies herself as Mikanagi Chiyako, seemingly the girl who was murdered in the video recorded on the Blu-ray disc, and tells Shuuichi and Murasaki about her situation.
“There are six other girls inside me.”
Murasaki explains that a ghost is only allowed to exist for forty-nine days in this world, meaning the seven girls can each have seven days. Shuuichi then makes up his mind to assist all of them in spending their remaining days without any regrets and passing away in happiness.
Shuuichi, however, does not realize what will happen to him later. He does not realize that he will have to see each of the seven girls depart from him.
