Reach out, touch faith.

Fancy learning Latin? Well, you’re guaranteed to learn at least one word in the classical language by playing Faith: The Unholy Trinity: Mortis, or “death”, which flashes on screen every time you succumb. Facing off against legions of the damned armed with only a wooden crucifix and, well, your faith, it’s a given you’ll be succumbing quite a bit.

Dying a lot comes with the price of admission for developer Airdorf Games’ 8-bit horror odyssey, one that truly puts the ‘cult’ in cult status, which it has enjoyed since releasing on Steam and itch.io between 2017 and 2022. Now on the Nintendo Switch, fans of retro horror are in for a wholly unique entry in the genre that looks, sounds, and feels like nothing else.

Coming to ‘current consoles’.

Developer Argonaut Games has continued its prmotion of the recently-announced remaster for Croc: Legend of the Gobbos with a rather nifty conparison video.

Although not officially confirmed for the Switch at the time of writing, the game is scheduled to release on ‘current consoles’, so we’re going to assume (hope) that this means a launch on Nintendo’s hybrid platform is on the cards.

No hollow imitation.

Developer Powersnake took to the Future Games Show Spring Showcase earlier this year to reveal Voidwrought, an upcoming horror metroidvania that seems to have more than a little Hollow Knight peppered in its DNA.

This one launches on the Switch eShop on 24th October, throwing us into a creepy underground world packed with crafty combat and perilous platforming — ring any bells? The art style and movement mechanics instantly put us in mind of Team Cherry’s masterpiece, but this doesn’t seem to be any old hollow imitation (god knows we’ve seen some of them), with an underlying shrine-building objective appearing much more optimistic than the dark and down-trodden world of Hallownest.

Send in the Murder Clowns.

Nightdive Studios’ quest to revive some of gaming’s most bizarre and long-forgotten treasures shows no signs of slowing down. With the release of PO’ed: Definitive Edition earlier this year, it was a clear-cut signal that the team is ready and willing to embrace titles that may not be the most recognisable in an increasingly crowded market, but nevertheless represent and preserve them, unearthing titles that would otherwise have fallen ever further into obscurity.

Killing Time: Resurrected, originally developed by Studio 3DO and released in 1995, is another example of Nightdive’s valiant endeavour to spruce up curios, and from a technical point of view at least, it’s one of the studio’s most impressive efforts yet. Its presentation has been greatly enhanced while still retaining everything that made this 3DO FPS so unique, resulting in a product that frankly makes the original release borderline obsolete.

Plus gyro and mappable buttons.

Anbernic might be better known for its swanky handheld consoles, but the company has recently revealed that it’s taking its first steps into the controller realm with a wireless pad that promises “minimal drift”.

In a blog post shared earlier this week, Anerbic described the catchily-named RG P01 as a controller that “balances quality and affordability,” apparently catering to all kinds of gaming sessions — yep, it is compatible with Switch.

It takes 20 million, apparently.

Hazelight Studio’s co-op platformer It Takes Two has officially sold over 20 million copies since its initial launch in 2021.

This comes via an announcement from the official social media account confirming the milestone, accompanied by an image of the game’s protagonists, Cody and May. It’s important to note that the platform split for this isn’t available, so it’s unclear how many Switch copies have been sold specifically.
