Super Mario Maker 3(D).
Soapbox features enable our individual writers and contributors to voice their opinions on hot topics and random stuff they’ve been chewing over. Today, Kevin wonders if Nintendo is ready to bring another dimension to its Maker series…
If you can believe it, Super Mario Maker was released for the Wii U nearly nine years ago. The game was an integral part of Mario’s 30th anniversary celebration, though quite a lot has happened since then. Back in 2015, the idea of Nintendo sharing a user-friendly toolkit and giving us the go-ahead to make a new game ourselves was an incredibly exciting prospect. 8- and 16-bit-style indie games were undergoing something of a renaissance at the time too, and Mario Maker was essentially a crash course in side-scroller fundamentals.

Grabbit.
Daedalic Entertainment has brought fantasy point-and-clicker The Night of the Rabbit to Switch and it’s available on the eShop from…today! Originally released on PC back in 2013, it’s a beautiful-looking thing, as you can tell from the Switch release trailer above.
Described in the blurb as being “reminiscent of classic LucasArts adventures,” we can’t vouch for whether that just means it’s a classic-style P&C or not, but if the voice acting and animation are anything to go by, it could be a bit special, if you’re into that sort of thing.

I can sing a rail shooter.
Developer Success’s flagship franchise since 1991, Cotton‘s enigmatic Halloween world and cutesy-witchy theme struck a chord with fans of the shoot-’em-up genre. Its zany premise of broomsticking across badlands in search of delicious candy, coupled with a magical mix of coloured gem grabbing, weapon power-ups, flashy bomb attacks, and mouthy fairies, have been staples in every instalment since the beginning.
Bar one pachinko outlier, most Cotton games follow the same 2D horizontal shooting format, including 2021’s Cotton Fantasy: Superlative Night Dreams. But with Panorama Cotton, a 1994 Mega Drive exclusive and one of the system’s most technically impressive titles, Success switched the action to a 3D perspective, plotting the camera behind Cotton’s back. It delivered a Space Harrier-style dynamic across eye-bleedingly colourful stages, occasionally with varying paths. Despite being a graphical showcase for the system, it wasn’t as critically well-received as its predecessors, never appeared overseas (until 2021), and had a famously low print run.

Donningtooooooon!
Picture this… You’re at Download Festival in Donnington Park, you’re rocking out to a bit of Queens of the Stone Age, and suddenly you have an urge, a need, to play Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance.
But, oh no! You don’t have your Switch with you. Furthermore, you didn’t want to bring your Switch to Download Festival for fear of it being lost, trampled on, or ruined by the inevitable downfall of rain during the British festival season.

No, not that one.

Cyberpunk 2077 takes the crown.
After a short delay, the latest UK Charts are in, and despite its mixed reception, Endless Ocean Luminous has managed to crack the top 10 to land at, well, number 10.
In fact, there’s been a bit of a shake up this week – likely due to retail sales on specific titles – as Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition has managed to shoot all the way up to the top spot to beat out the likes of Stellar Blade and EA Sports FC 24.

Oh Crab!
Over the years, many games have tried to recreate the precise, difficult nature of FromSoftware’s Dark Souls, a revolutionary title that created the aptly named Soulslike genre. Another Crab’s Treasure, from developer Aggro Crab, is another one of these endeavours, albeit with a significantly more colourful approach compared to the usual intensity of many Soulslikes.
The adventure begins with the introduction of protagonist, Kril, a Hermit Crab living above the surrounding ocean in a small tide pool. Before long, Kril is removed from his precious shell, as he now seemingly owes money to a creature by the name of the Duchess due to new tax laws. A Loan Shark — who takes the form of a plastic Shark-head-on-a-stick toy with a top hat — takes Kril’s shell as collateral, sending the adorable young crustacean on a journey to the depths of the ocean to retrieve his shell and return to his lovely tide pool. The writing is charming and full of witty remarks from the game’s cast of characters, resulting in an engaging narrative that will provide a few laughs here and there.
