There’s nothing better than a new game announcement – well maybe a new game release – but as we love to look to the horizon the latest title to appear on it is Dungeonborne, an extraction dungeon crawler made with Unreal Engine 5 and set in a gritty medieval world.

Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island releases February 27.

Preorder Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island
$60
The wandering adventurer Shiren will strike out on his next dungeon-crawling adventure with Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island, which launches exclusively for Nintendo Switch on February 27. Fans of the long-running dungeon crawler series can get a fun preorder bonus by ordering early.
And since Shiren the Wanderer is more of a niche series in North America, it stands to reason the print run for the physical edition will probably be fairly small. If you're interested in the game, securing your copy ahead of launch could be a good idea.
While not strictly a preorder bonus per se, the first printing of Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island will include a limited-run sticker featuring Shiren drawn in the game's traditional Japanese ink art style in the box. The sticker will also be available in launch copies of the game, but only while supplies last--preordering guarantees your copy will include one.
You can preorder physical copies of Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island for $60 at Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, GameStop, and Target--all of which will include the limited-run Shiren sticker. Digital Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island preorders are not yet available but should go live on the Nintendo Switch eShop sometime in the coming weeks. Note that the digital version does not include the limited-run sticker.
Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island is the sixth entry in the Shiren the Wanderer series, which stands as one of the best dungeon crawler franchises of all time, and a standout among Spike Chunsoft's many mystery dungeon sub-series.
Like previous titles, players control Shiren as he adventures through procedurally-generated, multi-floor dungeons filled with monsters, loot, and hidden traps. Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island maintains the classic turn-based gameplay, grid-based movement, and steep difficulty of other mystery dungeon games and traditional roguelikes. They're tough games, but the Shiren series is known for its characters and storylines that keep you motivated to push forward even after falling to an enemy deep in the dungeon and restarting your run from zero. This time around, Shiren and his talking weasel sidekick Koppa are on a mission to rescue a girl from the monster- and pirate-infested Serpentcoil

Dungeonborne is a dark fantasy extraction dungeon crawler
I think fighting skeletons might be one of the most fundamental joys of video games. The more implausible its ambulation seems, the better, but I'm happy as long it clatters to the floor as a collection of distinct physics objects once I'm done.

Nintendo Switch 2 Will Have An 8-Inch LCD Screen, Says Analyst
Details surrounding Nintendo's next piece of hardware have been few and far between, with only rumors, leaks, and the opinions of industry analysts to go off right now. We know that Nintendo probably won't rock the boat too much due to the overwhelming success of the Switch, and industry analysts have predicted that the console will most likely be an "iteration" rather than a drastic change in design.

Is The Legend of Zelda The Next Expansion For Super Nintendo World?
As Nintendo has proven over the last several years, they’re dedicated to not just making the best video games possible featuring their IPs but trying to take those IPs and bring them to new places so that they can “lure in” new people to check them out. Last year, they released the first of what might be a grand movie slate, with Mario’s first animated feature not only getting nominated for awards but also bringing in over 1.3 billion dollars! Then, there’s Super Nintendo World, the amusement that Nintendo has built with Universal Studios. The park already has locations in Japan and California, and Orlando is set to drop soon.

Some Developers Are Working on Nintendo Switch 2 Games, as Per GDC Survey
Leaks have insisted for a while now that Nintendo’s next-gen console is set to launch in the second half of 2024, and with the Switch not far away from entering its eighth year, that doesn’t seem hard to believe in the slightest. Of course, if the Switch’s successor is indeed just months away from launching, you’d assume that at least some developers in the industry will have access to development kits so they can work on games for the console- and sure enough, as per a GDC survey, that does seem to be the case.
