Multiple ratings have already been spotted.

Switch was treated to multiple SpongeBob games during its prime, and it looks like a new game in the popular Nickelodeon series could now be on its way to Switch 2.

The title SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide was rated in South Korea and Germany recently. Adding to this, Dealabs and Billbil-Kun report it’s coming to multiple current-generation platforms including the Switch 2, and it’s expected to surface this November.

I’m gonna wreck it.

Here we are once more at the end of July. DK arrived on Switch 2 over a week ago and it seems that most people are absolutely loving Bananza – most, but not all, unfortunately!

Nearly 1 in 10 players responding in our poll say they’re getting sick when playing the game. The exact cause is up for debate, with the camera’s ‘following’ behaviour and the game’s smashable terrain being likely culprits upsetting a sizeable minority of DK fans. That doesn’t seem to have hurt sales of the game, mind, even if Kong can’t quite compete with launch game Mario Kart World.

“We understand this is disappointing”.

The upcoming Zelda-inspired 3D action-adventure game The Knightling will be launching this August on multiple platforms, but the Switch version of the game has been axed.

In an update earlier today, developer Twirlbound announced the game had “gone gold” ahead of the August release window for PC, PlayStation and Xbox, but also revealed it would “no longer” be releasing on Nintendo’s Switch.

“Your memories will be recorded here”.

This year marks the tenth anniversary of Undertale and the game’s creator Toby Fox is wanting to reflect on this time with your memories.

In a post on social media, he’s revealed how he’s seeking “your memories” and wants to “turn back together”. He’s hoping for a quick turnover – further noting how it would be “great” if fans could submit their responses within the next 24 hours.

Star Wars Outlaws releases on Switch 2 this September.

Ubisoft’s CEO Yves Guillemot mentioned recently how he was hopeful the Switch 2 port of Star Wars Outlaws could potentially revive the game. While there’s always a chance, beyond this adventure, the future doesn’t sound very promising for Kay Vess and Nix.

According to a new scoop by Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson, a sequel to Outlaws was originally planned but was recently scrapped in the “very early” stages. This information was shared on the same outlet’s weekly podcast. Here’s exactly what he had to say:

Not a pea shooter.

A Plants vs. Zombies remaster is potentially on the horizon, and it might be releasing as early as October, a new rumour suggests.

Reported by Dealabs and Billbil-Kun (via Push Square), the remaster is reportedly called Plants vs. Zombies Replanted — which could be related to the Brazilian age rating of Reloaded, discovered earlier this year.

You Refined.

Donkey Kong Bananza is stuffed full of amazing little details and references, and thanks to some chatter online, we’ve discovered yet another incredible detail that takes more than a little soul from… well, Dark Souls.

On social media, we spotted a thread from the donkeykong subreddit being shared which revealed to us that, if you die in DK’s latest adventure — whether it be to an enemy, in the lava, or by taking too much damage in any of the standard layer levels (not the challenges) — DK’s corpse will be left waiting in a mound of gold.

Drumroll, please.

Ever since I was a kid stomping his feet to pop songs in Dance Dance Revolution and getting pep talks from PaRappa the Rapper about how I gotta believe, I’ve been a fan of rhythm games. And while I love popular juggernauts in the genre like Guitar Hero, I’ll always prefer something with more originality than just simply holding down a button, such as Final Fantasy Theatrhythm.

Cue Patapon, a quirky blend of rhythm and strategy originality released exclusively on Sony’s PSP and now out on other platforms thanks to Bandai Namco. You play as a god to the charming Smurf-esque creatures and use drums to direct them during missions. Your controller buttons correspond to a rhythmic phrase. Want them to move forward? That’s easy! Pata pata pata pon! Need to attack? No problem; just hit ‘em with a pon pon pata pon combo. Keep the beat going and you’ll enter into a Fever, which increases your attack and defence.

Excuse me?

We reported on Bandai Namco’s naughty pup simulator, Doronko Wanko, back in December of last year, and not just because we were worried about what exactly this particular canine might be up to.

As it turns out, this very bold, but very cute, little doggy — who’s name actually derives from わんこ Wan ko, which is an informal or cute way of saying dog or puppy in Japanese — is into wrecking the place, messing up his owner’s stuff and causing havoc. Suddenly we are very, very interested.
