Alright, so here’s the scoop—or whatever you wanna call it—about this game, Wander Stars. Basically, it’s one of those turn-based JRPGs, which, not gonna lie, kind of reminded me of that time I tried to make lasagna and ended up with… well, it was a mess. But anyway. Fellow Traveller and Paper Castle said they’d changed the release date for the Nintendo Switch. Not entirely shocking, given how things go with game releases, am I right?
So here’s what went down. They basically kicked off with this update—I mean, there I was having my coffee, when suddenly I’m reading that Wander Stars is dropping later than expected. The devs were like, “Thanks for jumping into the beta!” and apparently, you folks had a lot to say. Like, a truckload. UI issues, combat bugs—just one big ol’ list of stuff that needs fixing. And, surprise surprise, the game was basically falling apart after episode two. Not what you’d want, I know.
Then they dropped this bombshell about needing more time. Said they were frazzled trying to hit the previous deadline, and needed to slow it down—not just for the game’s sake, but for their sanity too. We’ve all been there, right? Anyway—oh wait, hold up—then they mentioned some Underhero anniversary twist. So, turns out Wander Stars is now set to launch on September 19—same day as the Underhero anniversary. Quite the coincidence, or maybe not?
So, yeah, they’re all like, “Thanks for hanging around while we figure this out.” They seem to think this extra wait will be worth it. Fingers crossed!
Oh, and the game itself, it’s got this character, Ringo, who’s into martial arts. And then there’s Wolfe, all mysterious or something. Together, they’re on this galaxy-wide hunt for map pieces. Reminds me of when I lost my keys that one time, though less epic. It’s split into ten chapters—sounds like Cowboy Bebop, Dragon Ball Z kinda vibes—with heaps of surprises and plot twists. Anime fans, rejoice! Or maybe you’re indifferent, who knows.
You’ll get to fight using this Kiai martial arts thing—kinda cool, honestly. They mention over 200 words you can mix up to whack enemies. Like, body and mind in one ninja move, or something.
So, mark your calendars for August 1, 2025. That’s when it drops on the Nintendo eShop. And if you’re like me, you’ll probably set a reminder. Or five.
