Summer just got better for all fellow twitch fans as companies are looking to launch new titles soon. After the official announcement from Sega regarding the Sonic Origins release date, fans had mixed feelings about the same.


Some are excited about the 4- pack bundle, while others have moved on as the game features and graphics got distributed unevenly. They made the bundle to allow fans to play all the games on a single platform but ruined it with this news. 

Nostalgia kicked in as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge had an update. Fans can now get their hopes up as the company just showcased some of the gameplay on IGN. The gameplay looks pretty amazing and is expected to release before October. It includes the original voiceovers from the cartoon that aired in the 1980s.

Fans eagerly wait for Nintendo’s next announcements

Nintendo always messes with the release dates of their games to keep their fans hooked to the franchise. The company loves to hold back the titles and then let out unexpected announcements, leaving their fans shocked. With the release date of the Sonic Origins and Switch Sports launching this week, the Japanese giant shifted the release date for Xenoblade Chronicles 3 from September to July. Smart move, right?

A recent leak claimed we might officially see a GameBoy Advance emulator for the Nintendo Switch. Fans can call their GBA emulator ‘Sloop’ whereas the classic will go with ‘Hiyoko.’ Steadily, the franchise will add all the classics from consoles to Nintendo’s paid online service. Standard users will be able to enjoy a minimum of 100 games a year, while the Expansion Pack released last year will allow users to try their hand at Sega Genesis and Nintendo 64. The expansion pack will come at an additional cost of $30. The leak also suggested that Nintendo might add GBA games to their online service in the future.
