We knew that Ak-Xolotl was coming to Switch, as shared previously last year, but it had been a while since we got news about the game. That finally changed today, as part of the Future Games Show presentation, where we got some new gameplay and confirmation that the game is coming this year as well.
If you like fast-paced games, roguelites, or bullet hell games (or all three!) don’t forget to watch the new trailer above!
Announced as part of the Future Games Show presentation, Decarnation is a brand new horror pixel game inspired by movies of Satoshi Kon and David Lynch.
The game is coming to Switch on May of 2023. Check out the game’s description and trailer below!
Explore a haunting world, both real and metaphorical, and find the keys needed to battle inner and outer monsters. Get caught up in an intensely emotional story unfolding in a malignant, elaborate setting. Experience diverse gameplay featuring twisted puzzles, threatening creatures, lovecraftian environments, and metaphorical minigames. Decarnation takes inspiration from the best 2D adventure-horror and survival-horror games from the past eras, as well as cult movies from Satoshi Kon (Perfect Blue) and David Lynch (Mulholland Drive).
Paris, 1990. Gloria is at the end of her rope. A struggling cabaret dancer dealing with the fraying of her relationships, career, and self-esteem, she takes on a new artistic endeavor sponsored by a mysterious benefactor. Would the generous proposal be Gloria’s lucky break, or something worse? A survival story with layered psychological stakes, Decarnation explores the contrast between battling limitations in the physical realm, and the subconscious landscapes one can’t escape. Decarnation is an emotional, startling story-driven experience that will keep you on your toes until the very end.
Decarnation mixes traditional survival horror elements (cryptic puzzle to solve, inhospitable environments to explore, lethal predators to avoid, terrifying boss to defeat, etc.) with a wide variety of symbolic minigames (puzzles, reflexes, rhythm, etc.) accounting for real life situations (performing a cabaret show on stage) or metaphorical ones.
Once uncovered, key elements of Gloria’s life aid her in defeating monsters in her dreams in unique battles that marry the grotesque and the sublime to represent her struggle for survival. Overcoming challenges in her dreams strengthens Gloria against real life difficulties, and her real life issues create new challenges in her dreams.
Order a Pizza with a Nintendo Wii in 2023
No one outpizzas the Wii
WiiLink is an online service to keep your Nintendo Wii’s online alive. Why do we mention this? Because they have released an update bringing back WiiConnect24, allowing many of the discontinued Wii Channels to go back online.
Among these channels, we find the fabled Demae Channel, a Japanese exclusive channel that would allow you to order food through your Nintendo Wii. The developers have released an update that makes the channel function completely now in 2023, so you can too now order a pizza from places like Dominos in Japan.

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection new features detailed
EXE-iting Features!
Besides Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection featuring a ton of games, the collection will also have some brand new features for you to enjoy!
Some of the new features we found about during the Capcom Spotlight are Buster MAX Mode and Patch Cards.
For Buster MAX Mode, this new feature will make it faster to get through some of the many battles you’ll encounter during the game, as this mode multiplies the attack power of your normal MegaBuster by 100. You can toggle this mode on and off, so if you wanted to get something closer to the original experience, you can do that with no problems.
As for the Patch Cards, these were cards that were available only in Japan during the release of the original games, but this time, all 499 cards will be available in the game and they’ll be usable from Mega Man Battle Network 4 onward.
If you’d like to know even more details about these features, check out Capcom Blog’s latest entry on Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection!
