Bloody ‘Butcher’ Now Available on the Nintendo Switch
It’s kind of weird that for years, you could count practically count M-rated games on a Nintendo console with your hand. That appears to be changing with the Switch, as you can now add Transhuman Design’s Butcher to the mix, which is now available on Nintendo’s eShop for a measly $9.99.
Actually, when you think about it, Butcher is perfectly suited for the console, given it’s pixellated carnage and diminutive sprites. It’s almost like a throwback to the Game Boy days and playing games like Batman while you’re in the car on a trip with your folks. Above all, Butcher should sate your bloodlust until DOOM rips and tears onto the console this holiday season.

One of Clive Barker’s Final Convention Appearances Will Be at New Jersey’s Monster Mania in August
We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.
A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.
Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.
Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”
“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.
“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
