Including fixes specific to Switch 2.

Hitman World of Assassination – Signature Edition didn’t get off to the best start when it arrived on the Switch 2 in June, but IO Interactive has made an effort since then to improve the overall experience.

Bulk Up.

Okay, this might be one of the most genius marketing collaborations ever: the Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (better known as CMLL) has teamed up with The Pokémon Company to promote Pokémon Legends: Z-A in the best way possible — a Mexican wrestling event (thanks, VGC!).

If you’re excited to dive deep into Dragon Quest I & II HD Remake on 30th October, well, you’ll be able to do that quite literally, as Square Enix has shown off a brand new region, added to Dragon Quest II specifically, in this remake (thanks, Gematsu!).

The Seabed is (as you’d expect) an underwater region that you’ll be able to access as soon as you get the boat. And it’s here where you’ll meet the merfolk, who live in the aptly-named Mersea. But there’s no time to relax, as they’re being threatened by monsters.

I’m gonna put my hands up here. I’d never even heard of G-Mode’s Kuukiyomi series before – not once have I ever had it mentioned to me.

And I’m puzzled, because judging by the official description of KUUKIYOMI 4: Consider It — now that my attention has finally been drawn to it by Daan Koopman and the positive social media reaction you can see below! — it seems like something I was destined to play.

Some other bugs have also been addressed.

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance made its arrival on the Switch eShop last week, and while we think it’s got the potential to be “pure ninja gold”, there are aspects of this particular version that could use some work.
