Windscape, a game that released on Steam back in September of 2016, seems to have plans for releases on other platforms, including the Nintendo Switch. A section of Headup Games’ website makes this a lot more likely. Windscape was originally going to release on the Wii U in 2016 but that version still hasn’t released and at this point, it probably won’t. This title seems perfect for the Nintendo Switch though!
In Windscape, you play as a girl living on a farm with your parents. The world of Windscape is made up of floating islands and eventually, you find out that these islands are breaking apart and falling from the sky. It’s your job to find out what is causing these things to happen and to hopefully put it to an end.
Main Windscape Features:
Exploring – Windscape has a very simplistic but beautiful art style. Explore through the world taking on quests from different characters you come across, gather resources, and fight enemies in your way.
Crafting – Gathering resources is important because they can be used for crafting. There’s many crafting stations in key places of the world. You can cook different meals, create potions, make weapons, and more!
Dungeons – You’ll find some dungeons while playing through Windscape. Some are meant more for exploring and some are more connected with the story. One things for sure, you’ll be running into some challenging boss battles too.
If you want to try out Windscape, you can buy it on Steam for $16.99. To get a good look at Windscape, you can watch the trailer below. For some more interesting upcoming Switch games – the creator of Harvest Moon announced that he’ll be working on a new game called Little Dragons Cafe. Also, check out Kynseed, a sandbox RPG.
For more Switch news head over here to celebrate the consoles first anniversary, and see why it’s time for Smash Bros Switch now. And make sure you don’t miss out on Spellbound – Chucklefish’s ( Stardew Valley’s publisher ) next game, that might come to Nintendo Switch.
About Windscape
In Windscape you play as a young girl living on your parents’ farm, set in a lovely world made up of floating islands in the sky. As you discover the world you learn that something has gone terribly wrong – islands are breaking apart and falling from the sky! It’s up to you to discover the evil that is threatening the universe of Windscape.
As you travel the world(s) you will gather valuable resources allowing you to craft a plethora of items such as weapons, shields, potions, magical spells and much more. Some items will be just for fun while others are a necessity for your survival.
You will meet peaceful NPCs and vicious monsters both on the surface of each island as well as in the dungeons and lairs you uncover along your journey. While I want the islands to work in a non-linear manner, I have decided to make the dungeons more puzzle and combat driven – each with its own style and atmosphere.
Windscape will feature tactical fights against larger bosses such as ghosts, ogres and dragons. Of course, there are many valuable items to loot too.What I don’t want Windscape to be? A stats-driven RPG, a terraforming sandbox game or a first-person action game. This is why I am asking for your support. I’m building this game for the community and hopefully with the community. I feel your feedback is really needed to match my vision with the high standards you, the players, demand. Because of this I have chosen to go into Early Access, hoping to make great friends and build a community which shares my vision and aids me on my development quest…

The brand new and affordable farming simulation Gleaner Heights available on Steam. It is a challenging yet charming Harvest Moon and Twin peaks inspired farming simulation game.

In January 2018, Nintendo revealed Nintendo Labo, a unique product for Nintendo Switch. Labo involves making creations out of cardboard, and utilizing them alongside the Switch and its peripherals, to create a unique gameplay experience. Whether you know plenty about Nintendo Labo, or nothing at all, here is a list of things that everyone should know about the new Nintendo product.
What is Nintendo Labo?
Nintendo Labo is a rather hard thing to explain, but I’ll try my best here. Nintendo Labo is a set of buildable cardboard accessories that allow for unique gameplay experiences on the Nintendo Switch. Nintendo Labo allows for the design of numerous types of cardboard creations, such as a Fishing Rod, an RC car and a Piano. The cardboard designs serve as a way to play a variety of different games on the Nintendo Switch hardware, even going as far as to hold the console itself, something that can be easily seen in numerous Toy-Con designs.
Yes, I did say Toy-Con, which is what each Labo design is creatively called, considering they all utilise the Joy-Con and their features. The RC car for example, makes use of HD rumble of the Joy-Con, allowing for a design that doesn’t have wheels to somehow drive.
The Labo is an extremely unique and interesting idea, that despite being intended mainly for children, will surely garner a following with people of all ages.
What is in each Nintendo Labo Kit?
The Nintendo Labo released with two Toy-Con kits, a Variety Kit and a Robot Kit. The Variety Kit lives up to its name, offering a variety of different projects to build.
The Variety Kit contains the cardboard to make the following:
Two Toy-Con RC Cars
Toy-Con Fishing Rod
Toy-Con House
Toy-Con Motorbike
Toy-Con PianoThe Variety Kit provides plenty of Toy-Con to play with, but the Nintendo Switch Labo software is where these designs will truly shine. The Robot Kit may only provide the Robot Toy-Con, but it provides the most advanced Labo experience, being a wearable Toy-Con that has physical involvement from head to toe.
The Robot Kit contains the cardboard to make the following:
Toy-Con Robot
Visor
Main Body
Robot Shoes
Robot ArmsThe Robot Kit seems to be the most fleshed out Toy-Con, and hopefully the Nintendo Switch Labo Software manages to show off the true extent of its capabilities. There is also a Nintendo Labo Customization set releasing alongside the Toy-Con Kits. The Customization Kit allows Labo players to further customize their Toy-Con creations, allowing for more personality in Toy-Con designs.
The Customization Set contains the following:
Two Stencils
Two Sticker Sheets
Two Tape RollsWhat do the Toy-Con provide Gameplay-wise?
The variety kit, consisting of five different Toy-Con creations, provides numerous gameplay experiences.
The RC Cars can be used to simply drive around, but if you’re feeling daring, can easily be used to race and battle against each other.
The Fishing Rod offers a fishing game that sees you going from catching only small fish, to scouring the depths of the seas to find larger marine life, such as sharks. You can even visit your caught fish in the aquarium, and design fish of your own!
The Toy-Con House sees you befriending a cute, imp-like creature, using several different things to interact with it, and its home. The cardboard blocks provided with the House can be plugged in to provide various minigames and other interesting ways to interact with your new fluffy friend.
The Motorbike allows for a racing game that looks to heavily resemble Mario Kart. Players can race in Grand Prix mode, as well as create their own unique racing tracks.
The last Toy-Con in the Variety Kit is the Piano, which seems to have a decent amount of depth to it. You can plug in different pieces to change the piano tones to cat noises or other silly sounds, while another mode allows the piano keys to use the vibration of the Joy-Con, offering different ways to make music.
The Variety Kit offers plenty to do, and is sure to keep you entertained for a decent while.
The Robot Kit despite coming with only the Robot Toy-Con, seemingly still has plenty to offer. As an enormous Robot, you can walk around and punch and kick within the environment, destroying all in your path to get as high a score as possible. Holding your arms at your side allows for your Robot to fly, crouching will turn you into a tank, and putting on your trusty visor will allow you to experience a first-person mode.
There’s plenty more to be experienced with the Toy-Con Robot, but I won’t spoil it here.How much does each Nintendo Labo Kit cost?
The Nintendo Labo Variety Kit launched with a recommended retail price of $69.99 in North America, £59.99 in the UK, and $99.95 in Australia. The Nintendo Labo Robot Kit is somewhat more expensive, retailing at $79.99 in North America, £69.99 in the UK, and $119.95 in Australia. Now, this may seem far too overpriced for pieces of cardboard, but it’s important to remember that each Nintendo Labo Toy-Con Kit comes with a game.
The Nintendo Labo Customization Set, which comes with stickers and other craft materials to spruce up you Toy-Con designs, retails at $9.99 in North America, £8.99 in the UK, and $14.95 in Australia.

What are your thoughts on Nintendo Labo?
I know that I’ll be getting Nintendo Labo the moment it releases, but what about you guys and gals? Are you looking forward to Labo? Make sure to let us know!
For more exciting upcoming games, check out the latest game from Chucklefish, Stardew Valley’s publisher right here. The original Harvest Moon creator is also releasing a new game this summer, take a first look! - Mar 3, 2018
It feels like yesterday when we stood first in line at our local target to grab a Nintendo Switch with neon red and blu joy-cons. But truth is, the Nintendo Switch is 1 year old now. The switch has had a big success story, with near 15 million units sold in it’s first 12 months, and plenty of amazing games yet to come, the hybrid console seems unstoppable.
Nintendo has taken the opportunity to reflect on it’s first year. Nintendos general manager Shinya Takahashi is certainly partially responsible for the huge success of the console. To celebrate the Switch’s birthday he sat down to answer some questions. You can check out the short interview in the video below.
While the first year has been a huge success, it is important for Nintendo to keep delivering on it’s promise to bring all major first party games to the Switch. At the beginning of last year Reggie, president of Nintendo North America, stated that the big N wants to bring all it’s major IP’s to the Switch “our philosophy at Nintendo is to have one great experience of each franchise on each console. So, in the future, who knows when – you can anticipate that all our big franchises will be addressed”, this of course includes two of Nintendos biggest franchises, Smash Bros and Animal Crossing.
Only a few days ago Nintendo released a demo for the upcoming Kirby Star Allies Game. There have also been recent rumors about a possible Smash Bros Switch release this year. So all in one, the second year looks promising already.
Support for the switch has been great, with even the original Harvest Moon creator announcing two Switch games to be released this summer. Little Dragon Cafe and Happy Birthdays – the beginning will both be released on Switch in just a few months. But fans are waiting for more 1st party support from Nintendo, like Animal Crossing Switch, Smash Bros, Metroid Prime, Pikmin and more. While Nintendo is releasing the upcoming Kirby game, and Nintendo Labo where players can craft, and play – it will be interesting to see when the big N talks about it’s next major releases. Possibly at E3, where Nintendo reserved a huge space.
