Hellboy Web of Wyrd, a roguelite action adventure game based on the iconic Hellboy franchise, was originally scheduled to launch on all modern platforms, including Nintendo Switch, on October 4th, 2023. However, developer Upstream Arcade and publisher Good Shepherd Entertainment have now announced that the release has been pushed back to October 18th, 2023. The reason given for the delay is to insure that players “receive the best experience possible.”
Wondering how the Switch held up in Japan this week? Switch titles made up 9 of the top 10 best-selling software list. Pikmin 4 was dethroned this week by the physical release of Pikmin 1+2. Lies of P saw debut on PS5 and landed itself third place on the charts. As for the rest of the charts, it’s quite standard, with top-selling titles like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Pokemon Scarlet/Violet, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom making their usual appearance.
As for hardware, the Switch OLED remains in first place, with the PlayStation 5 placing in second. The Switch Lite placed in third, and the standard Switch took fourth, with the PS5 Digital in fifth.

In this world where animals own humans, the pet human Lisa has to revive her rabbit owner and uncover the secrets of this seemingly fairytale animal world! “I swear to repay all the kindness you showed me.”
Visit a world where the roles of humans and animals have been reversed. Lisa, a pet human, misses her deceased owner, a rabbit called Alice, dearly.
Lisa sets out on an adventure into the animal world to find the Flowers of Life, the keys to bringing someone back from the dead.
The larger Lisa’s desire to bring back Alice, the more gruesome the incidents that occur in the animal world……
< Find the Flowers of Life > The Flowers of Life are the keys to resurrecting Alice. Explore the cute animal world in search of the places where the Flowers of Life bloom. However, those who pick the flowers must pay a terrible price.
< Choose your items carefully > Use the items you find during your adventure to solve puzzles and pacify the threats of the animal world. There are all sorts of ways Lisa can acquire items, but her methods can’t always be peaceful.
< A twisted fairytale world > In this world where animals live in harmony, mutants appear from nowhere to roam the streets. Is there a reason why the appearance of the residents shifts from day to night?
< Until the night passes and the sun rises anew > Meat-starved mutants chase you to the bitter end. Run away, hold your breath while you hide in the bushes, or use your weapons to fight back. In this grotesquely twisted village, you must find a way to survive.
