Cardcaptor Sakura: Key of Memories Lands on Mobile 25 June

Leave a comment

Cardcaptor Sakura fans, this one is for you. KaraQ’s new mobile game Cardcaptor Sakura: Key of Memories (カードキャプターさくら 思い出の鍵, Omoide no Kagi) launches on iOS and Android in Japan on 25 June 2026 — just five days away — and the nostalgia is already hitting hard.

What Is Cardcaptor Sakura: Key of Memories?

Developed by KaraQ, Key of Memories is a decorative diorama collection game centred on Sakura Kinomoto, CLAMP’s beloved card-capturing heroine. The core loop has you collecting miniature figures of Sakura in over 100 different outfits — ranked from N to SR rarity — and arranging them inside fully customisable room dioramas. Think less dungeon-crawler, more cosy collector: it is the kind of game that rewards careful arrangement and an unapologetic love of costume variety.

The roster goes beyond Sakura herself. Kero-chan, Tomoyo Daidouji, Syaoran Li, and Toya Kinomoto are all confirmed to appear, so the full Tomoeda gang is along for the diorama ride.

Pre-Registrations Already Past 90,000

As of 18 June, more than 90,000 players had pre-registered — a clear signal of how much appetite there still is for Cardcaptor Sakura content more than two decades after the original series. Pre-registration is open now on the Google Play Store and the JP Apple App Store, with in-game milestone rewards for early sign-ups.

The game is free to download with optional in-app purchases. In-game currency includes S-Outing Tickets, Friendship Coins, Sakura Miniature Shards, and Star Coins — expect the usual cosy mobile model rather than anything heavily pay-to-win.

How Singapore Fans Can Play on Day One

The 25 June launch is Japan-only — no global release date has been confirmed as of writing. Singapore fans who want in on launch day have two practical options: create a Japanese Apple ID to download from the JP App Store, or use QooApp on Android, which makes Japan-region mobile games accessible to SEA players without a VPN. We will update this post the moment a Southeast Asia or global rollout is announced.

Last words

Cardcaptor Sakura has always had a strong following in Singapore — it was a fixture on local TV for a generation of fans here, and CLAMP’s art style holds up as beautifully as ever. A cosy mobile game where you can dress Sakura in 100+ costumes and arrange your own diorama room is a low-pressure, high-nostalgia release that fits perfectly into a commute or a lunch break. Key of Memories is not trying to be a blockbuster action title — it is a love letter to the franchise, wrapped in ribbons and star wands. For more anime and manga news, keep it with GameTrader.

Attack on Titan 3 Gets MAPPA Opening, Out July 1

Leave a comment

Koei Tecmo and Omega Force’s Attack on Titan 3 launches on 1 July 2026 across PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam — and a fresh announcement from MAPPA’s 15th anniversary presentation on 19 June adds one more reason to be hyped: MAPPA, the studio that animated Attack on Titan: The Final Season, will produce the game’s opening animation.

MAPPA Steps In for the Opening

During MAPPA’s 15th anniversary showcase, the studio confirmed it will handle the animated opening sequence for Attack on Titan 3. One catch: the opening will be delivered via a post-launch update rather than shipping on day one. Still, the creative continuity is significant — MAPPA helmed the anime’s beloved final arc, and bringing that visual identity into the game’s opening is a meaningful touch for fans.

The 15th anniversary event also teased other upcoming MAPPA productions, including new Chainsaw Man and Jujutsu Kaisen content, signalling a busy second half of 2026 for the studio.

The Full Story, Finally in One Game

Developed by Omega Force and published by Koei Tecmo, Attack on Titan 3 is the franchise’s first video game entry in roughly seven years. It sets out to cover Hajime Isayama’s complete story — from the fall of Wall Maria right through to the final battle — all inside a single title, something neither of the two previous Omega Force AOT games managed.

Beyond the story adaptation, the game adds original lore and narrative content created specifically for this entry. The 3D Maneuver Gear combat system has been overhauled, and for the first time in the game series players will be able to control the Nine Titans directly.

Platforms, Launch Window, and What to Expect on July 1

Attack on Titan 3 releases on 1 July 2026 for PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam. Text is available in English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Korean — handy for SEA players — with Japanese-only audio. SGD pricing had not been officially confirmed at time of writing; check the PlayStation Store, Nintendo eShop, Microsoft Store, or Steam for local pricing when it goes live.

Koei Tecmo is also running an official global web programme on 1 July at 3:00 PM PDT (2 July at 6:00 AM SGT), with Japanese voice actresses Yui Ishikawa (Mikasa Ackerman) and Shiori Mikami (Historia Reiss) on hand. Expect a full gameplay showcase and story details ahead of — or right alongside — launch.

Last words

Singapore fans have had a long wait for a new Attack on Titan game, and the timing here is stacked: launch day on 1 July, a MAPPA opening coming post-launch, and a live reveal stream at 6 AM on 2 July for the committed. If Omega Force’s upgraded 3D Maneuver Gear combat delivers on its promise, this could be the definitive AOT gaming experience fans have been asking for since the Final Season ended.

Star Fox Is Back on Switch 2 — Free Demo Out Now, Launches 25 June

Leave a comment

Fox McCloud and the Arwing are back. Star Fox launches exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2 on 25 June 2026 — and if you already have the console, there is no reason to wait: a free demo has been live on the Switch 2 eShop since 12 June, and your save data carries over to the full game.

Star Fox — Overview Trailer — Nintendo Switch 2, via Nintendo of America on YouTube

Star Fox 64 Rebuilt for Switch 2

This is not a brand-new entry in the franchise — it is a cinematic reimagining of the beloved 1997 Nintendo 64 classic, Star Fox 64. The bones are the same: Fox McCloud leads his mercenary squadron through the Lylat system on a mission to stop the evil scientist Andross. But everything around that skeleton has been rebuilt from the ground up.

Character models have been overhauled with newly detailed designs that honour the original’s puppet-inspired aesthetic. Every stage has been redressed with modern fidelity. The soundtrack receives a full orchestral treatment. And for the first time in the franchise, every line of dialogue is fully voiced — giving the story the weight of a proper sci-fi action film rather than a terse space shooter. Nintendo detailed the overhaul in its official announcement, describing it as a game that “takes full advantage of the power and performance of the Nintendo Switch 2 system.”

It has been a full ten years since the last Star Fox game — Star Fox Zero landed on Wii U in 2016 and remains the franchise’s most recent entry. Nintendo announced the Switch 2 instalment on 6 May 2026 via a surprise 15-minute Nintendo Direct that dropped without warning through the Nintendo Today app, and it has been one of the most-discussed Switch 2 titles since.

New Modes and Switch 2-Specific Features

The campaign supports multiple difficulty levels — Easy, Normal, and Expert — plus branching stage paths that give veteran players a reason to replay routes they skipped. On top of the story mode, two additional modes add longevity.

Challenge Mode adds fresh objectives to existing stages, testing precision and route knowledge beyond a simple clear. Battle Mode is the headline addition for multiplayer: 4-vs-4 online dogfights supporting up to eight players in a single match. A Nintendo Switch Online membership is required for online play.

On the hardware side, Star Fox is one of the first titles to make serious use of Joy-Con 2 mouse controls — slide the controller across a flat surface and you aim with it directly, a natural fit for targeting enemies in a fast-moving rail shooter. GameChat integration lets you play as your favourite Star Fox character with AR avatar overlays and real-time voice chat during multiplayer sessions. Local co-op via dual Joy-Con is also supported.

Prices, Demo, and Where to Buy

Star Fox is priced at USD$50 digital / USD$60 physical in the United States (Japan: ¥5,480 digital / ¥6,480 physical). The Singapore eShop price had not been confirmed at time of writing — check the Switch 2 eShop directly for the SGD figure. Physical copies are available through Nintendo’s official Shopee and Lazada storefronts in the region.

The free demo is on the eShop now. It requires no additional steps beyond owning a Switch 2 — search for Star Fox from the home screen, download the demo, and your progress carries forward when you buy the full game on or after 25 June.

Last words

Ten years is a long wait for a new Star Fox, and this Switch 2 remake looks like the comeback the franchise deserved. The demo is free, it is playable right now, and the full game is less than a week away. Singapore Switch 2 owners — this one is worth your time this weekend. Check out our latest game news for everything else landing on Switch 2 this season.

Update (20 June 2026): Singapore eShop Price Confirmed

The one missing detail above is now filled in. The Nintendo Switch 2 eShop in Singapore has gone live with its local Star Fox listing, and the full game is priced at S$62.50. The page currently shows a pre-order ahead of the 25 June 2026 launch, with a Download Demo button sitting right beside the purchase option — confirming the free demo we covered above is available on the Singapore eShop, not just overseas regions.

At S$62.50 for the digital edition, this lands as solid value for a first-party Nintendo Switch 2 release — and it actually comes in slightly below a direct conversion of the US$50 digital price. If you have been holding off on the demo while waiting for the local figure, there is nothing left to wait for: the demo is free, your save carries over, and the full game is now just days away.

Rhythm Heaven Groove Arrives on Nintendo Switch, 2 July

Leave a comment

After more than a decade without a new mainline entry, Rhythm Heaven Groove is tapping its way onto Nintendo Switch on 2 July 2026. In Singapore and across Asia, the game launches under the title Rhythm Heaven: Miracle Stars — and pre-orders are live right now on the Nintendo eShop.

Rhythm Heaven Groove – Overview Trailer – Nintendo Switch — via Nintendo of America on YouTube

Over 80 Brand-New Rhythm Games to Master

Every one of the 80-plus minigames in Rhythm Heaven Groove is completely original — no recycled stages from earlier entries. Each game comes with its own distinct art style, giving the whole package a colourful, unpredictable energy that keeps things fresh from the first tap to the last. The core mechanic stays true to the series: hit the beat, keep your timing perfect, and ride the groove.

Beatspell — A Series-First RPG Mode

The most intriguing addition is Beatspell, a brand-new mode where you play as a wizard battling monsters by casting rhythm-powered spells. It’s unlocked as you progress through the single-player stages, and it’s the first time the franchise has ventured into RPG territory. Early previews describe it as a genuinely fun wrinkle on the formula — one that rewards players who have already sharpened their timing on the main game.

Multiplayer for Up to Four Players

More than 30 stages are designed for co-op or competitive play with up to four friends using Joy-Con controllers. Whether you’re gathered on a sofa or playing in tabletop mode, the multiplayer suite is one of the broadest in any Rhythm Heaven game to date. Critics who have previewed the game have flagged it as one of the Switch’s standout party titles this year.

Tsunku♂ Returns — and It Means a Lot

Series composer Tsunku♂ is back on the soundtrack, a return that carries real emotional weight for longtime fans. Tsunku♂ — the legendary musician behind every previous entry — has faced serious health challenges in recent years, making his involvement here all the more meaningful. The music is, as ever, central to the whole experience.

The game was co-developed by Nintendo EPD and TNX. It supports English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, and Korean, making it a well-localised release for the Singapore and broader Asian market. It’s also backward-compatible with Nintendo Switch 2.

Last Words

Ten years is a long time to wait for a rhythm game, and Rhythm Heaven Groove looks like it was worth every minute of the wait — 80-plus original games, a fresh RPG mode, strong multiplayer, and Tsunku♂ back on the keys. Singapore Switch owners: pre-orders are open at the Nintendo Singapore eShop right now. Check our game news for more Nintendo updates.

SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance Slashes onto Switch 2 on 24 September

Leave a comment

Joe Musashi is coming to Switch 2 — SEGA and developer Lizardcube have confirmed that SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance will launch on Nintendo Switch 2 on 24 September 2026, with pre-orders now live on the Nintendo eShop and a free demo available to download today.

SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance ❘ Game Introduction Trailer — via SEGA Asia(EN) on YouTube

What Is SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance?

If you missed the August 2025 launch on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC, here is the quick rundown. SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance is a hand-drawn 2D action platformer developed by Lizardcube — the same studio that revived Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap and co-developed Streets of Rage 4. It brings back series protagonist Joe Musashi, who returns home to find his village burned and his clan turned to stone, setting off a vengeance quest across over a dozen visually distinct stages.

Combat gives you Joe’s katana, shuriken, Ninjutsu arts, and Ninpo abilities, with Amulets to upgrade your build as you progress. The game was very well received on its original platforms, praised for its tight controls and gorgeous hand-drawn visuals.

Switch 2 Version: What’s Different?

The Nintendo Switch 2 version arrives with an updated resolution, making the hand-drawn art look even sharper on the new hardware. Otherwise the core experience is the same acclaimed game — which is exactly what Switch 2 owners who held off will want to hear.

A free demo is already live on the Nintendo eShop, so you can try it before committing. Save data from the demo carries over to the full game.

The SEGA Villains Stage: Majima, Eggman, and Death Adder

The standout extra is the SEGA Villains Stage DLC, which pits Joe Musashi against three of SEGA’s most iconic antagonists across five additional stages with six new music tracks and extra Ninpo abilities:

  • Goro Majima (Like a Dragon / Yakuza series)
  • Dr. Eggman (Sonic the Hedgehog)
  • Death Adder (Golden Axe)

It is a genuinely fun concept — a ninja master taking on SEGA’s villain roster — and adds meaningful replay value beyond the main campaign.

Editions and Pre-Order Details

Two editions are available for Switch 2:

  • Standard Edition — USD $29.99, digital on the Nintendo eShop
  • Deluxe Edition (physical game-key card) — includes the base game, SEGA Villains Stage DLC, translucent character cards, a physical art book, the Ghost Outfit and Medic Lite Amulet in-game items, a digital art book and soundtrack, and 2,000 in-game gold

Singapore eShop pricing will follow regional rates. Pre-orders are open now via the Nintendo eShop — search SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance on your Switch 2. Physical Deluxe Edition orders are available through select retailers.

Last Words

Singapore Switch 2 owners now have another must-check title pencilled in for September. SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance sat quietly at the top of many 2D-action best-of lists in 2025, and the Switch 2 port brings it to SEGA fans who were waiting for the right platform. Download the free demo from the eShop today and see for yourself — 24 September is not far off. Check out our other game news for more Switch 2 updates.

DOA6 Last Round Launches Thursday — Free Core Fighters on PS5, Xbox, and PC

Leave a comment

After more than seven years, Dead or Alive 6 is back — updated, optimised for current-gen hardware, and arriving this week. DEAD OR ALIVE 6 Last Round launches on Thursday, 25 June 2026, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. KOEI TECMO and Team Ninja confirmed the release at State of Play earlier this year, and the countdown is now down to days.

DEAD OR ALIVE 6 Last Round – Announcement Trailer — via KOEI TECMO AMERICA on YouTube

What DEAD OR ALIVE 6 Last Round Brings

This is the definitive edition of the 2019 original, which sold over 900,000 copies and accumulated more than 8 million free-to-play downloads. Last Round lifts the experience to current-gen hardware and adds several worthwhile features:

  • Photo Mode — reposition characters, adjust poses, and capture your favourite fighters from any angle
  • Full roster included — all 24 original characters plus five DLC fighters: Nyotengu, Phase 4, Momiji, Rachel, and Tamaki (29 fighters total)
  • DLC carry-over — costumes, premium tickets, and save data from the original DOA6 transfer into Last Round

Core Fighters: Free to Play from Day One

Not ready to commit at full price? DEAD OR ALIVE 6 Last Round Core Fighters launches simultaneously as a free-to-play edition. You get four playable characters at launch — Kasumi, Marie Rose, Honoka, and NiCO — plus access to Photo Mode and the online modes DOA Quest and DOA Central. Story Mode requires a separate DLC purchase, but for anyone wanting to try the game without spending anything, Core Fighters is a genuine zero-cost entry point.

A New Dead or Alive Is Coming

The original announcement also confirmed that the next new entry in the DEAD OR ALIVE franchise is already in development at Team Ninja. No platform, release window, or title has been shared — but for a series dormant since 2019, the confirmation matters.

Singapore Availability and Pricing

DEAD OR ALIVE 6 Last Round launches globally on Thursday, 25 June 2026. SGD pricing on the PlayStation Store and Steam is to be confirmed — check both storefronts ahead of launch day. Core Fighters will be available to download for free on all three platforms from day one.

For more upcoming fighting-game and PS5 news, head to our Game News section.

Last words

DEAD OR ALIVE 6 remains one of the most approachable 3D fighters out there, and Last Round is the natural reason to revisit it on the hardware most Singapore players are actually on in 2026. The free Core Fighters edition means there is no cost to trying it — and knowing a brand-new DOA is in development makes Thursday feel like the start of something rather than just a remaster. Keep an eye on the PS Store and Steam for local pricing.

Pokémon GO Community Day: Catch Frigibax This Saturday, 20 June

Leave a comment

Pokémon GO’s June 2026 Community Day is right around the corner — and it stars one of Scarlet and Violet’s most powerful pseudo-legendaries. Frigibax, the Dragon/Ice-type Ice Fin Pokémon, takes over the map this Saturday, 20 June 2026, from 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time. If you’re in Singapore, that’s a perfect weekend afternoon slot.

Frigibax will be featured during June Community Day in Pokémon GO! — via Pokémon GO on YouTube

Frigibax Community Day Bonuses

Niantic has stacked this Community Day with some of the best bonuses of the year:

  • 3× Stardust on every catch — excellent for powering up those high-IV finds or trading duplicates
  • 2× Candy per catch, with a boosted 2× Candy XL chance for trainers at Level 31+
  • Extended 3-hour Incense and 1-hour Lure Modules for the event window
  • One additional Special Trade (up to 2 daily), plus 50% reduced Stardust cost on trades until 9:00 pm

The Exclusive Move: Glaive Rush on Baxcalibur

The main draw this Community Day: evolve Arctibax (Frigibax’s first evolution) into Baxcalibur during the event — or up to four hours after it ends, until 9:00 pm local time — to receive the Community Day exclusive Charged Attack Glaive Rush.

This is the Pokémon GO debut of Glaive Rush, a Dragon-type move with 90 power in Trainer Battles (and a one-stage Defense drop on the opponent) and 105 power in Gyms and Raids. Baxcalibur with Glaive Rush shapes up as a strong Master League pick — and this is the first Dragon/Ice-type to headline a Community Day in over 100 events.

Shiny Frigibax and Special Research

Shiny Frigibax makes its wild debut today. The colour difference is noticeable — worth hitting as many spawn clusters as possible with a Mossy Lure.

A Community Day–exclusive Special Research story is on sale for USD 1.99 (or the equivalent in your local currency). Rewards include three special-background Frigibax encounters, a Premium Battle Pass, and a Rare Candy XL. Tickets can be gifted to Great Friends or higher.

August 2026 Community Day Voting Returns

Niantic also confirmed that Community Day Voting is back for August 2026 (event date: Sunday, 16 August). Four candidates are up: Nickit, Yamper, Fidough, and Tadbulb. The vote happens via the official Pokémon GO YouTube channel — watch for the announcement.

Last words

With 3× Stardust, a powerful new Charged Attack, and shiny Frigibax appearing in the wild for the first time, this is one of the stronger Community Days of 2026. Singapore trainers: head out around 2pm, pop an Incense, and give yourself the full four-hour evolve window after the event ends.

EA Sports UFC 6 Is Out Now — SGD94.90 on PS5 and Xbox

Leave a comment

EA Sports UFC 6 is out today on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S — and with a Metacritic score of 84 and 91 percent of critics recommending it, this is shaping up to be the strongest entry in the franchise. Singapore players can grab the Standard Edition from the PlayStation Store right now for SGD94.90.

UFC 6 Official Reveal Trailer — via EA SPORTS UFC on YouTube

What Makes EA Sports UFC 6 Different

The headline addition is Flow State — a system that gives 30+ fighters a unique three-layer perk setup built around their real-world fighting style. Play as Alex Pereira and you are rewarded for loading up heavy left hooks and kicks; play as Max Holloway and the game nudges you towards relentless volume striking and forward pressure. Build your Flow meter and you unlock finishing combos and strategic advantages tuned to each fighter’s identity.

EA Vancouver also introduces Markerless Capture technology for the first time in the series — capturing authentic fighter movement without a traditional motion-capture suit — alongside the new Sapien Technology for striking contact. The result is hits that land with noticeably more weight than UFC 5. Frostbite physics make their franchise debut as well, making knockdowns and ragdoll reactions feel genuinely unpredictable in a way that mirrors real bouts.

Lead Producer Nate McDonald said in EA’s launch press release that “every element is designed to reflect the individuality of real fighters — our goal is to capture the sport as faithfully as possible.”

New Modes: Hall of Legends and The Legacy

Two new modes add depth beyond the Octagon. Hall of Legends spotlights eight new UFC legends added to the roster — including Randy Couture and Ken Shamrock in their franchise debuts — with biographical content and signature challenges. The Legacy is a narrative expansion within Career Mode that adds 150+ story events, training camp sequences, and sponsorships to flesh out the path from prospect to champion.

What the Reviews Are Saying

UFC 6 holds an 84 on Metacritic and an 82 on OpenCritic heading into standard launch — a series best on both platforms. VPEsports praised the Flow State system and called the visual overhaul on PS5 a generational leap for fighter models and facial animations. Criticisms are familiar: the ground game still lags behind the striking system, and Fighter Pass monetisation is unchanged. The overall consensus is that EA Vancouver did real work this cycle.

Editions and Pricing for Singapore

The Standard Edition is live on the Singapore PlayStation Store for SGD94.90, and includes the base game plus three fighter skins (The Korean Zombie, Miesha Tate, and Leon Edwards). The Ultimate Edition adds the Fighter Pass, Expansion Pass, VIP Pass, and seven days of early access — Ultimate buyers have been playing since 12 June. EA Play members received a 10-hour trial from the same date.

Last Words

MMA draws serious passion in Singapore — UFC events sell out here, and fighting game communities are active on PlayStation. With SGD94.90 for the Standard Edition, UFC 6 lands as one of the more reasonably priced new releases this month, and an 84 Metacritic score suggests the buy is worth it. Alex Pereira on the cover does not hurt.

Persona 4 Revival Gets a Release Date — SGD Prices Now Live

Atlus has locked in the date: Persona 4 Revival launches on 18 February 2027 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC — and Singapore pricing is already live on SEGA Asia’s official store.

The remake lands simultaneously on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam) on 18 February 2027. A Nintendo Switch 2 version has not been announced for launch. The game is based on the expanded Persona 4 Golden — fan favourite character Marie and the Hollow Forest dungeon are both confirmed to appear in Revival.

Watch the Pre-Order Trailer

Persona 4 Revival — Pre-Order Trailer — via Official ATLUS West on YouTube

What’s New in Persona 4 Revival?

This is not just a visual upgrade — Atlus is rebuilding the combat and interface from the ground up. Here are the biggest changes from Persona 4 Golden:

  • Baton Pass: The fan-favourite system from Persona 5 Royal makes the jump to Inaba, letting you transfer your turn to another party member after scoring a critical hit or targeting an enemy weakness.
  • Prime Time: A new charge gauge fills as you land consecutive hits. When it maxes out, SP costs disappear and the sequence ends in a high-damage finishing strike.
  • Series Finales: Each party member gets a unique, powerful personal finisher — similar in concept to P3 Reload’s Theurgy attacks, but built around Inaba’s cast.
  • Enemy Collision: Status-afflicted enemies can be knocked into each other, spreading the ailment and dealing bonus damage — a satisfying new tactical layer.
  • Dungeon Defence: A guard option in the TV World dungeons can block enemy ambushes, adding a new way to manage exploration risk.
  • Simplified UI: One button per ability replaces the original’s scrolling menus. Fully animated cutscenes replace the static visual-novel-style cinematics throughout.

On the audio side: the entire English voice cast has been replaced for the remake. New vocalist Shiori Sasaki and composer Ryota Kozuka are handling the soundtrack.

P-STUDIO director Kazuhisa Wada said of the launch: “As we take this next step, we are thrilled the launch date is set for Persona 4 Revival and fans get to encounter a fresh and modernized experience as they discover the mysteries hidden in Inaba,” as quoted by RPGSite.
