CGM Writes: If I were to describe Xeodrifter in its most simple form, it would sound like every other indie game out there. It’s an 8-bit metroidvania-style shooter with RPG elements developed by Renegade Kid, but hot damn is it ever fun. Originally released as a 3DS title last year, it’s made its way to next-gen consoles and PC. It’s a love letter to games that came before it, with a simple story and pick-up-and-play game mechanics, while keeping the formula fresh to make a game that is completely unique.
In Episode 171 of its podcast, Random Nintendo highlights overlooked Switch eShop games worth watching for or playing now, including Sky Force Reloaded and Xeodrifter, plus looks back at three of the big trends of Switch's first year.
Carl from SwitchEra.net writes: "In Atooi’s Xeodrifter, players take control of an interstellar adventurer as they scour four different planets in search of the materials required to repair their ship’s damaged warp core. What began as a by-the-numbers Metroid clone turned into something a little more special thanks to one very neat upgrade."
Handheld Players takes a look at the Nintendo Switch new releases in February 2018.
"no games this year thats not a port" Aren't you forgetting Pokemon, Metroid and Fire Emblem?
I'm sure there's more directs coming. I would be very surprised if we didn't get any word on Smash and Pikmin 4 soon.
Kirby, Yoshi, and Mario Tennis arent ports. Those are confirmed for 2018.
So heres a question guys should the next Smash Brothers be changed into Nintendo: Battle Royale or should the next Smash Brothers have a true Battle Royale mode ? Or should this maybe be a different game entirely ?
They should replace everyone with a bunch of garbage characters, make it really mediocre and call it playstation all-stars.
This game is boring and repetitive. It wants to be Metroid but it is clearly not. As far as "Metroidvania" games go, it's one of the worst I've played.
I'll have to give this one another try. I didn't like the way it played at first though
