It appears an SNES controller has been spotted for the Switch

Some Nintendo documentation has surfaced and has detailed an upcoming wireless SNES controller for the Switch.

The unannounced peripheral was spotted today in a new FCC filing (required for its release in the US) by Restera user Link83.

Much of the documentation is confidential, although there is one diagram of the controller’s back portion to gaze at. Note the “HAC” model number, used to refer to Nintendo Switch hardware and accessories.

This is even more exciting for Switch players since this more than likely confirms we will be seeing some SNES games hit the Nintendo Online virtual library.

Last year, Nintendo released the NES controller when it started release NES games to the Nintendo virtual library.

Decay of Logos gets official release dates

By

Last year, Rising Star Games revealed a Zelda-like game called Decay of Logos.

Decay of Logos is set in a fantasy world where you coexist with kings, knights, wizards, ancient species, and other mythical creatures. You journey through an ancient kingdom ruled by a warring king and have to avenge loved ones. After your village is ransacked, you’re saved by a magical elk and embark on a new quest.

Many gamers have embraced the title comparing it to the likes of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The game is a third-person role-playing adventure which focuses on tactical instead of action-focused combat. Like The Last Guardian, the  gameplay revolves around the bond with a mysterious elk.

Decay of Logos will hit PS4 first on August 27, before coming to Switch on August 29. Xbox One and Steam players will have to wait until August 30.

Overwatch patch 1.39 releases, adds Sigma and Role Queue

By
Shawn Robinson
-

The highly anticipated Overwatch update is finally upon us. Patch 1.39 has officially been pushed to the live servers and introduces a lot of new things to the game. Those changes include the Role Queue system for Overwatch matchmaking, new character Sigma, and a whole host of balance changes.

Starting off with the first (and most staggering) change is Role Queue. This new system will have players pick a role before queuing for a match, having two guaranteed characters on each of the three roles. The change is intended to bring some much-needed order to games, and makes character selection just that much easier. Players have been asking for the system since Overwatch’s creation, so it’s nice to have our requests finally answered. Role Queue is available in Competitive Play.

The second large change is Sigma, Overwatch’s 31st hero. Sigma is an eccentric astrophysicist, dedicated to harnessing the power of gravity. Through an experiment gone wrong he achieved this goal, but not without a cost. His mind was severely fractured, forcing him to be detained by Overwatch. Now, Talon as freed him and uses him as a weapon to wage war on Overwatch, entirely unknown to him. You can read more into his past through his origin story here. Sigma is a tank character, providing both a shield and ample damage for his team. Tank players will want to pick him up.

Finally, we have a whole host of balance changes. We won’t go over them here, as it would be too long to describe. Most notably, Brigitte has been reworked to fall more in line with her role as a support hero. You can read into both that and the remaining changes here. All of the above changes should leave players quite excited. If you don’t already play Overwatch though, it’s a team-based hero shooter developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment. It’s available for PC, PS4, and Xbox One for $40.

Have you gotten the chance to try out the new changes? Let us know what you think!

State of Decay 2 has crossed 5 million players

By

State of Decay 2 had a rough launch.  Numerous reports of frame rate issues and glitches even on Xbox One X were frequent.  After some patches and fixes, it has retained a more stable and enjoyable experience ever since.

We learned back in November from Undead Labs that State of Decay 2 had crossed 4 million players.

In a recent interview with Polygon, Senior Desiger Quin Richards said, “We’re five million players, and we’re looking to grow.” The growth has definitely been steady.

Undead Labs is now a part of Microsoft Studios so the news of the jump in players is pretty great news for players and Microsoft.

If you haven’t had the chance to check it out and you’re an Xbox Game Pass subscriber, you can download it right now!

State of Decay 2 is the ultimate zombie survival game in an open world where you and up to three friends build a community of survivors. It’s up to you to establish a base, develop your characters’ abilities, and manage resources to survive as a group in a post-apocalyptic world where choices matter and every decision has lasting consequences.

Ubisoft CEO confirms new projects and “experiments” in the works for the Splinter Cell series

Splinter Cell has been on hiatus as a game series for years now but that might change soon. According to Gameinformer, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot elaborated on a new Splinter Cell project in the works and more. Guillemot stated that the pressure of delivering a new Splinter Cell game is too great. However, he clarified that he will be avoiding that pressure by taking the series in a different direction.

Here’s an excerpt from the Gameinformer article:

“There will be some new types of experiments,” Guillemot answered when asked specifically about Splinter Cell, “but on more different devices. We are working a little bit on the brand today to come back at one point. We can’t say when, because, as you know, it takes time. But each time we have to find the right experience to come back big.”
