You are used to ! Every week, the Switch welcomes lots of new games and it is not always easy to find your way around. Don’t worry, the JV editorial team is there. In this article, we bring you all the interesting projects on Nintendo’s console for the week of September 12 to 18, 2022. Between action, storytelling and card games, there is really something to do.
The Little Orpheus
After a first release on iOS, via the Apple Arcade, Little Orpheus is coming to PC and consoles including the Nintendo Switch! Did you think that the new title from the studio The Chinese Room (Dear Esther, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture) had already arrived at its destination? No. The title, originally scheduled for last March, had to be reworked at the last moment because of the War in Ukraine. The platform-adventure game, viewed from the side, features a soviet cosmonaut. Well, this explains it. Now the rocket is finally ready to take off. Inspired by classics like “Flash Gordon” or “Sinbad and The Sixth Continent”, Little Orpheus will take you on a journey through colorful settings, whether underwater, in prehistory or in the imagination. It makes you want!

Voice of Cards The Beasts of Burden
It’s already time for the third episode for the Voice of Cards series, a mix of RPG and card games imagined by Yoko Taro, the man behind the extraordinary Nier Automata. After The Isle Dragon Roars last October and The Forsaken Maiden four months later, it’s the turn of The Beasts of Burden to enter. Of course, we find the concept original de la licence, namely a scenario, fights and phases of exploration entirely represented by cards, with even a game master to manage all this pretty world. Big news this time: you can trap defeated monsters and turn them into skills. Note that, as in the past, The Beasts of Burden is an independent chapter, no need to have done the others!

XIII Remake
If you know the XIII comic book saga, you know that its hero has amnesia. Well for the remake of its video game adaptation, XIII Remake, we will do the same! Because yes, remember. In November 2020, the first version of this redesign was released, riddled with all kinds of problems. Scripts not triggering, misplaced checkpoints and bugs everywhere, there was something for everyone! To tell you the truth, we have opted for the score of 6/20 in our columns. But the past is the past. In a few days, XIII Remake returns with an important update on PC | consoles and a Switch version taking advantage of all the fixes. What, fingers crossed, easily play this cult FPS, at the time developed by Ubisoft.

Blind Fate Edo no Yami
In a whole different genre, here come Blind Fate Edo no Yami, a hack’n’slash action game in side view and in a futuristic universe (dare we say cyberpunk). “It’s a new Edo era, dark and controlled by machines, the shogunate reigns over Japan with an iron fist. Its law is just but ruthless, and to enforce it, it can count on a merciless weapon: you” the title page tells us. Everything seems to be a solide cocktail d’action, with data to recover to learn more about your past; sensors to see enemy weaknesses; a bestiary that promises to be more than complete. All in all, we could hold a great stress relief. The icing on the cake, even the realization seems to hold up.

Wayward Strand
Revealed more than a year ago on the side of PlayStation, Wayward Strand seems to touch the heart, with its gentle artistic direction and its setting like no other. Here, you play as Casey, a little girl sent by her mother to a flying hospital (which is also housed in an old airship) for a weekend. The girl is thinking of writing a paper for the school newspaper, but finds herself discuss with caregivers and patients tub, looking for solutions to help them. But the clock is ticking. Wayward Strand relies on a constantly scrolling time system. When you do something: everyone makes their own life. It’s up to you to choose which story you want to participate in. It makes you want.

Pretend
To complete this selection of Switch games of the week, let us introduce you Pretend, an adventure and card game that – at least in concept – is reminiscent of Voice of Cards. Here, everything takes the form of small colored rectangles in an adventure that takes place a short time before the end of the world. “A terrible curse is ravaging the kingdom and the only person capable of stopping it is a petty thief named Volepain” can be read on the game page. time you have left”. All of this demonstrates a special care, whether in terms of universe or characters, even dialogues. We have a good feeling for this nice project!
