Turning the pages.

Earlier this year, Annapurna Interactive brought us the “clever, funny” puzzler in Storyteller, a simple puzzle game that uses a storybook as its set piece. Fun scenes and illustrations breathe life into an inventive and fun puzzle game which we wanted more of. And now we’re getting just that — more.

Taking to social media, Annapurna Interactive announced that a new update is coming to the Switch version of the game. And it’s not a simple case of bug fixes or tweaks, either — there’s brand-new content being added to the game for free.

Cel-sword.

We know the game didn’t look like this, but the box art for both versions cannot be ignored.

And just like that, ten years have sailed by — The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD was released on the Wii U ten years ago today, and while we spend most of our days now pining for this incredible seafaring adventure to swim onto Switch, we want to reminisce in a completely different way today. The Wind Waker is beloved by almost all Zelda fans, taking Link’s adventures to the Great Sea. Our green-wearing hero is on an adventure to save his sister Aryll and, eventually, find the Hero of Time’s power to defeat Ganondorf.

A new book about home console gaming.

Award-winning UK publisher Lost in Cult is teaming up with our sister site Time Extension for The Console Chronicles, a new book covering the history of home console gaming, from the earliest Pong machines to the present day.

The Console Chronicles is the follow-up to A Handheld History, a previous Lost in Cult book focused on portable play. This new tome – which will run for more than 400 pages and will be divided into nine sections, each representing a generation in console hardware – will feature the talents of Julian “Jaz” Rignall (C&VG, Mean Machines), Kurt Kalata (Hardcore Gaming 101), James Mielke (1UP), Sara Heritage, Christian Donlan (Eurogamer), Ashley Day (GamesTM), Jon Cartwright (Good Vibes Gaming), Darryl Still (Atari), Van Burnham (Supercade), Tom Charnock (The Dreamcast Junkyard) and many, many more.

The Indigo Disk comes as a separate update.

After being announced for Hong Kong last month, it has today been revealed that Pokémon Scarlet and Violet‘s DLC, The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero, will be landing a full international physical release on 3rd November.

The news was shared to Twitter by Nintendo, revealing that the physical copy will contain the current version of the game (with The Teal Mask DLC) and will require an update once the second part of the DLC, The Indigo Disk, is released — remember, we still don’t have a release for that one yet. So, a physical DLC cart… without all of the DLC on it? Makes sense, we suppose.

“We are only at the beginning”.

Mortal Kombat 1 might not have had the best launch on Switch, but that hasn’t stopped NetherRealm Studios from hyping up what’s next for the latest entry in the long-running fighting game series.

Director and series co-creator Ed Boon recently mentioned on social media how this is just the beginning and there’s a lot more to come – from a long list of fighters to game features. Here’s exactly what he had to say:

Watch out, elephant Mario.

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 isn’t slowling down with the character spotlights, and the latest one focuses on the lasagna and pizza-loving cat Garfield.

In All-Star Brawl 2, Garfield returns as an all-rounder with a revamped moveset. He’s got slightly below-average speed but can drop food to go into a crazed sugar frenzy, giving him an extreme case of the zoomies. Garfield can also bring out his “old school shine” to reflect projectiles. You can get the full rundown in the video above.

The first entry arrived on Switch last month.

This information was shared on social media, but it’s not entirely clear when the Switch version was added to the page.

Unwoven Dream is weaving our dreams.

Lunar Ray Games, the developer behind the beautiful pixel art Metroidvania Timespinner, has announced that it’s developing a sequel (thanks, Gematsu!). A release date hasn’t been announced, but hopefully, we’ll see it sometime next year.

Timespinner 2: Unwoven Dream is coming to Steam and unspecified consoles, but given that the original tile came to Switch in 2019 (just a year after the PS4 and PC version), it’s fairly likely this will see the light of day on Switch — or perhaps Nintendo’s next console. The sequel takes place “after the events of Timespinner” according to the game’s official website but stars a new protagonist in Auria who — like Lunais from the first game — can wield powerful orbs of magic.
