With a visual style that fuses the retro aesthetics of the ’80s and challenging gameplay that harkens back to Hotline Miami, Katana Zero is already looking like one of the must-own Nintendo Switch titles that will arrive this year, at least if the pre-orders from Devolver Digital seem to be anything to go by.

Nintendo and developers Sora Ltd. and Bandai Namco surprised Super Smash Bros. Ultimate fans, revealing in a video yesterday that Joker would arrive Wednesday, April 17.

Over the past year we have seen several strides towards making games more accessible.

There isn’t really any other turn-based Final Fantasy game I have more affinity towards than Final Fantasy X. In my opinion, both its narrative and gameplay still hold up today, and in that regard, the game works to bolster Switch’s lineup of unique and meaningful JRPGs.
