Best Nintendo Switch Games For Family Fun: The Karate Kid: Street Rumble

For this family fun game night title... it wouldn't hurt to serve up a Karate Kid film (+ Pizza) for your family to enjoy before knuckling up in this 4-player beat 'em up! (HAJIME!)

 

THE KARATE KID: STREET RUMBLE (CONSOLES & PC)

Experience The Karate Kid trilogy like never before as you battle from the dojo to the streets in this retro-style co-op beat ’em up

It's always an honor to serve up more... Family Fun Gaming, because it's an opportunity for families to get together and enjoy quality time together. We meet all sorts of families who visit Orlando, Florida, and it's always cool to see the faces of their children light up when we recommend that they join in on one of their children's favorite passtimes. When they agree, because it really didn't dawn on them that it's an opportunity for bonding time... it's a beautiful thing. It usually hits them when they're told that their children will look back and remember these enjoyable times, especially when you consider the affordability of many couch co-op titles.

In addition to the bonding and quality times, games allow you to do things like relieve stress while having a blast, among additional benefits that most movies & TV shows don't deliver.

In the case of The Karate Kid: Street Rumble... your children learn about teamwork and accomplishing objectives together. These skills are a great thing to instill at an early age so that they know the importance of working with others and not feeling as if they have to do everything alone. As adults, a number of us have tried to do such a thing in the past or present or... know someone in that boat (which can be in or outside the workplace). So... let the teamwork unconsciously begin, and who knows... you might have a little teambuilder in the making as you experience The Karate Kid trilogy like never before! Battle from the dojo to the streets in this retro-style co-op beat 'em up!

The Karate Kid: Street Rumble has officially launched today on consoles and PC, offering fans a chance to relive the original The Karate Kid trilogy in a retro-stylized, pixel-art co-op adventure.

Perfect Couch Co-Op

This game is ideal for couch co-op sessions. After watching one or more of the films (from The Karate Kid collection), your children will have a better understanding of the characters they’ll be playing as and the bosses they’ll face.

Play as Iconic Character

Step into the shoes of beloved characters like Daniel LaRusso, Mr. Miyagi, Ali Mills, and Kumiko. Face off against Cobra Kai’s Johnny Lawrence, John Kreese, Terry Silver, and other rivals who are determined to dominate Miyagi-Do Karate forever.

Intense Martial Arts Combat

Master intense martial arts combat in frenetic brawls inspired by iconic arcade beat 'em ups. The game captures the essence of classic arcade fighting games, providing a nostalgic yet fresh experience for both new and old fans of The Karate Kid series.



Key Game Features

You know what would've been a great DLC addition to this game? The character's from 2010's The Karate Kid, so that we can also take on the role of... Dre Parker, Mr. Han, and also play through that story. Will we see this DLC emerge one of these days? Who knows, but... I will see if it's possible by providing this to the dev team!

Caravan SandWitch + First 30 Gameplay!

Embark on a Journey Across Vast Landscapes in Caravan SandWitch

Caravan SandWitch is a captivating, artsy, narrative-driven exploration adventure that invites players to embark on a journey across a Sci-Fi Provence-like world. Driven by the mystery of your missing sister, the story unfolds with each step you take.

Explore a Provence-like World

In Caravan SandWitch, you are equipped with a van and an array of essential tools as you set out on a quest to find your missing sister. Upgrade your van throughout your adventure to open up new passages and ruins. From navigating treacherous terrain to uncovering ancient ruins, every step of your journey brings you closer to unraveling the truth behind your sister’s disappearance.


A Hopeful Post-Apocalypse

The world of Cigalo transitions from a green planet to a desertic one due to human activities and over-exploitation. Discover the impact of humans and its population through your road trip. Meet the Reinetos, an old aboriginal species, the Robots left behind after the planet’s exploitation, the humans who stayed after everyone left for another planet, and the mysterious... SandWitch. All of them live peacefully in Cigalo and help each other in this unwelcome environment.

Meet a Diverse Cast of Characters

As you interact with the diverse characters you meet along the way, you’ll come to understand that your community is your home. Help everyone and contribute your piece to the edifice, enabling everyone to live in harmony in an environment hostile to all civilizations due to over-exploitation.


A Game Developed for All

Plane Toast has placed huge importance on creating a game in which everyone can feel included, representing their vision of a world where communities help each other to overcome the environmental consequences of our world. Caravan SandWitch is written with an inclusive script that represents a real community with its people and representation.


Gameplay Experience

I began exploring this game and emerged nearly 90 minutes later, shocked at the time. The dialogue challenges me because sitting there reading it when I want to explore was a tad annoying. Reading works for both hearing and hearing-impaired individuals, but I would love for there to be voice-overs added in because it slows down the pace a bit. This is a fun, vibrant adventure that’s sure to be appreciated by teens and adults, and it’s only $24.99. If this gameplay tickles your fancy, jump behind the wheel of Caravan SandWitch today. Game on!



This gameplay merely scratches the surface of the adventure you'll embark on! I played it and found myself going back to dive deeper and deeper, especially after zooming out on the... huge map.

Train Sim World 5 releases with 3 new routes, a brand-new game mode and FREE Starter Pack

 The Rails Are Yours from today! Train Sim World 5 releases on PC, PlayStation and Xbox platforms as well as Game Pass inclusion from day one. This latest iteration in the franchise comes with a host of added gameplay features, allowing players to explore and operate trains like never before! Choo Choo!

London, Frankfurt and Los Angeles all feature along with new trains and features in Conductor Mode and Route Hopping.

Kent, U.K. 17 September. The Rails Are Yours from today! Train Sim World 5 releases on PC, PlayStation and Xbox platforms as well as Game Pass inclusion from day one. This latest iteration in the franchise comes with a host of added gameplay features, allowing players to explore and operate trains like never before!

Conductor Mode, a feature long requested by players and trailed in two back catalogue routes, now features as a full game mode in the three core routes, giving players the chance to check tickets, operate doors and keep bags clear of the aisles whilst the AI does all the driving. Route Hopping, available to those with selected routes in their collection, allows for seamless transition between routes that share a common location, resulting in gameplay sessions that can last up to 200 miles across three route Add-ons.



Making use of these features and Train Sim World’s core driving experience are the three new city-centric routes covering London, Los Angeles and Frankfurt. Germany’s high-speed, tilting ICE-T is added to the fleet for the first time and joins America’s biofuel powered Metrolink MP36PH-3C. Britain railfans will rejoice at the inclusion of the West Coast Main Line and Deluxe Edition players can tilt their way through Wembley, Watford and down to Milton Keynes in the innovative, iconic Avanti West Coast Pendolino.

Matt Peddlesden, Train Sim World 5’s Executive Producer: “Two innovative trains that feature tilting capability, the Class 390 Pendolino and the DB ICE-T, and the brand-new Conductor Mode make for an entirely new gameplay experience in this substantial new edition of Train Sim World. These, alongside many other awesome features and enhancements give players exciting new things to do and some of the most requested trains and routes to enjoy them on!”

A Free Starter Pack, containing just the Training Center ‘test track’ route and four trains, will be available to download and keep permanently until 17th October. Train Sim World 5: Standard Edition, featuring the three core routes, is also available to Game Pass players.

Beyond Train Sim World 5, Dovetail Games continue work on their recently announced VR title coming exclusively to Meta Quest and Roblox players will soon be able jump into Train Sim World Tycoon. Both of these were revealed in the recent Dovetail Direct livestream event in August.
