Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for March 26th, 2020. With it being Thursday, we have a massive list of new releases to get through. So we’ll go right to the new game summaries, follow it up with the usual list of sales, then call it a day. Plenty of RPGs hitting today, friends. They’re good for killing time, and maybe that’s something we all need right now. I mean, we would need it if it weren’t for Animal Crossing. Maybe you can squeeze some other stuff

While some of you might be too young to remember (in which case get off my lawn, you whippersnappers!), Minecraft used to be pretty different from the game we know and love today. Even though it’s hard to imagine an Overworld without llamas or turtles, they haven’t always been there (yes, I’ve checked). That’s one of the things that makes it so great – and now, Minecraft Earth is following in its footsteps.Exciting changes are coming, and that’s all thanks to you! Yes, you! At Mojang, we love player feedback, and we’ve

Note: This post contains spoilers for the stories of, like, every Doom game ever (except Doom 3), and especially the story of Doom Eternal.Even if you played Doom 2016, you might find yourself a bit lost with Doom Eternal. The game starts with a full-scale demonic invasion of Earth, doesn't make clear what's happened since the last game, and for some reason, gives you your own spaceship that's also a castle. Even if you're pretty well-versed in Doom lore, such as it is, you might find yourself lost at the

Half-Life: Alyx is out now on Steam, making it a particularly exciting time to shop for the best VR headset. The fact that this is Valve's first big VR game is only eclipsed by the fact that Alyx is the first entry in the Half-Life series since 2007. Because of that, interest in VR gaming has spiked considerably. Valve's own Index headset was restocked a little while ago, but if you place a new order now, you'll need to wait about eight weeks before your headset ships. Unfortunately, that's the

Doom Eternal Director Hugo Martin shared his priorities of design for the game, saying the goal was to make more of a brutal Nintendo game and less of a The Last of Us. Doom Eternal Director Hugo Martin has gone on record previously about how a major part of Doom Eternal was not taking itself so seriously that it becomes morbid and uncomical in how ridiculously violent it is. He recently expanded upon this premise of design, claiming that Doom Eternal was meant to take more of a step towards

Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for March 20th, 2020. In today’s article, we’ve got an absolute boat-load of new releases to check out. That’s the bulk of today’s edition, in fact. There’s also a really large list of new sales to check out while we’re at it. News-wise, there isn’t much going on. Sunset Riders is coming to Arcade Archives, and I can confirm the new release of Ittle Dew 2+ is in fact a separate SKU/purchase from the Nicalis release of the game. That’s about

ON DECEMBER 10, 1993, ID Software's developers uploaded Doom to a high-speed file-sharing server maintained by an IT administrator who oversaw University of Wisconsin's network. The shareware episode arrived to great fanfare. So great, in fact, that the admin had to ask hundreds of users eager to download Doom to log off so id could transfer the game. Instantly the chat rooms became ghost towns. At midnight on the dot, the gamers at id uploaded their game, and all hell broke loose. Grown adults in businesses suits clogged office networks

id Software's co-founder recounts converting Wolfenstein 3D to Super NES in three weeks, how the studio viewed ports of its games, and more. Working at id Software in the 1990s was like working inside a bunker, only with more pizza, soda, and video games. The studio started small and remained small through development of Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D, and Doom. After Doom's release in December 1993, John Romero turned his attention to scouting for opportunities to collaborate on external projects related to id's games, namely strategy guides and ports.
