Gear.Club Unlimited 2 is Switch exclusive as of right now. Why did Eden Games decide to bring the game over to Switch fans? Eden Games answers that themselves in a NintendoEverything interview.

When we released Gear.Club Unlimited last year, it was a big gamble. We weren’t sure if players would enjoy a motorsport-oriented racing game on Nintendo Switch but in the end, we received a lot of positive feedbacks from players and they seemed happy with our work.

We therefore decided to concentrate exclusively on this platform to get the most out of it and give Switch players the most advanced experience possible. We now have two years of experience on this console and you can feel it in the render of GCU2.

December Calendar - Super Smash Bros.™ Ultimate

To your spellbook! Design your very own spells to fight enemies, explore, and right past wrongs in the kingdom of Mystralia.

In the kingdom of Mystralia, it takes more brains than brawn to succeed. You will face down giant, powerful creatures and navigate treacherous terrain. You will encounter puzzles that confound even the wisest of the old sages. And you must overcome obstacles put in place by people who do not want you to succeed.

Your path will not be easy. In Mages of Mystralia, you play as Zia, a young girl who discovers that she has been born with an innate sense of magic. Unfortunately, magic has been banned, so she strikes off to train on her own to gain some control over her powers. On her journey, she meets other exiled mages and, discovers runes with magical properties and realizes that she can combine these runes in millions of different ways to come up with completely new spells.

The story was written by bestselling author Ed Greenwood, creator of the Forgotten Realms fantasy world for Dungeons and Dragons, which served as the basis for games like Baldur’s Gate and Neverwinter Nights, as well as about 170 fantasy books.

Key Features:

- Design spells to fight enemies, solve environmental puzzles and battle epic bosses

- Powerful yet simple spell crafting system

- Classic action-adventure with over a dozen of distinct regions to explore

- Original orchestral score conducted by Shota Nakama and performed by the Video Game Orchestra at SoundtRec Boston of Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts fame

I'll never forget when Resident Evil 2 was announced for the N64. I thought it was a big deal back then, and I still think it is now! I never actually played the port, as I had already played the game on the Playstation. I heard very good things, but never really took a deep dive into the title. Now I can get the full details and expert analysis, thanks to Digital Foundry!

Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon is an absolutely fantastic 8-bit entry in the Bloodstained franchise, and last we heard from developer Inti Creates, it was very warmly received by players the world over. It seems that reception might have been enough to warrant a retail release, as the game was just rated by the ESRB. There's no need to rate the game unless it's going to hit retail, so keep an eye out for this announcement soon!
