Switch Online -palvelun retrovalikoima kasvaa syyskuun lopussa kahdella Game Boy Advance -klassikolla

Switch Online -palvelun Expansion Pack -käyttäjät saavat syyskuussa ulottuvilleen kaksi uutta nimikettä.

Mainitaanpa Game Boy Advancelta tutusta kaksikosta ensin puzzleseikkailu Mr. Driller 2, joka aloitti elämänsä kolikkopelinä ennen GBA-käännöstään. Toisena tulokkaana on Namcon vakiostudio Now Productionin kehittämä 2D-tasohyppely Klonoa: Empire of Dreams (tästähän Nikokin varmasti tykkää!).

Namco-pelitalon perustanut Masaya Nakamura menehtyi 91-vuotiaana

Legendaarisen Namco-pelitalon perustaja Masaya Nakamura on menehtynyt varsin kunnioitettavassa 91 vuoden iässä.

Alkujaan Nakamura Manufacturing -nimellä tunnettu viihdejätti perustettiin vuonna 1955. Myöhemmin lasten huvilaitteiden valmistukseen keskittynyt firma muutti nimensä Nakamura Amusement Machine Manufacturing Companyksi, josta muodostuukin kätevästi kaikille tuttu lyhenne Namco.

Soulcalibur IV

Soulcalibur IV:ssä eeppinen kamppailu Soul Calibur -nimisen henkimiekan ja Soul Edge -nimisen kirotun miekan välillä jatkuu ja pelisarjan tarinasta paljastuu uusia puolia, kun taistelijat eri puolilta galaksia havittelevat mahtavia miekkoja omia päämääriään ja viimeistä tuomiota varten. Pelisarjan seuraavaan sukupolveen sinkoava Soulcalibur IV näyttää visuaalisen loistonsa aivan uudennäköisillä liittolaisilla ja vihollisilla.
