Inti Creates has been quite good at supporting all its games on the Switch, adding in new content updates and tweaks post-launch that do a decent job of adding value to the games while also reinvigorating interest in them. Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack is their latest release, bundling the two Azure Striker Gunvolt games in 60 FPS and with a variety of other tweaks and improvements. The game stands well enough on its own, but Inti Creates has just announced an upcoming addition that should infuse it with a good bit of Christmas cheer.
Christmas Mode will show up in Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack on 24th and 25th December, adding in a fun extra distraction to the main game. Presents and snow rain from the sky and the ground is slick with ice, with the goal being to collect as many presents as possible. And for those of you looking to open this Christmas present early, the official website says the mode won’t appear if your Switch’s date is set incorrectly, so no loopholes there.
What do you think? Will you give this mode a shot? How have you been liking Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Sounds like fun, guess I'll take a break from Xenoblade 2 this Sunday then to check this out ^_^
Where's the EU retail version? Couldn't find it yet.
Nothing for the 3DS version I see. Oh well. I expected nothing less from a company like Inti Creates who continue to refuse to bring the physical 3DS version of that striker pack to European retail shelves.
@SKTTR I got mine from GAME. It’s still available.

@SKTTR It is available. Got lucky and picked up the only copy the local GameStop got on release day.
@Timsworld It's also the company that gives many free dlc, offers quality games for a reasonable price and managed to make a good game with mighty number 9 to give hope to the character. I suppose they have their reasons not to bring physical copies there, and I'm aware it must be a problem to some players, but I still think it's one of the best companies out there.
I have the striker pack on my 3ds, is it only going to be for the switch version?
@roy130390 If they have their reasons for ignoring Europe then it's about time that they start sharing those reasons with the public rather then keeping them a secret.
Very cute. I really ought to nab this collection at some point.
I just bought this game so I haven’t gotten far at all. But I enjoyed what I played out of it.
Downloading it!
I really wanted that game in physical copy for the switch, but did not want to the pay the price which is too high IMO therefore I asked my GF to buy it for me since I did not have any other idea... The game is just waiting for me under our chritmas tree (she got it at EB Games) and I will probably give this DLC a shot for fun! Which character should I choose? I've read it is better to play both games with Copen. Also wondering if the levels are the same or not depending on the character? I need to finish Caveman Warriors (currently working on the last 3 bonus levels) before jumping into this one after December 25th.
Loving the support Inti is giving their games on Switch between this & the upcoming DLC for Gunvolt Burst it'll keep me coming back for more. The game is available physically in Europe it's currently for sale on GAME & Amazon's websites btw for those struggling to find it.
@Timsworld Go cry on on top of your Bayonetta Climax Edition or your Metroid Samus Returns Special Edition.
And still I'm wondering are they really not going to update the European 3DS version at all? Still stuck with 1.2 version when Americans have 1.3 and 1.4. updates for over a year already.
Absolute laziness from the devs when updating games on 3DS eShop is free for developers.
I refuse to buy any of their later games because they simply are not worthy of support since they lack interest of supporting fans in Europe.
Can anyone confirm if this bonus is present on the 3DS collection? I really don't feel like spending $50 CAD to get it on Switch with the few extra bells and whistles included
@Dang69 Oh you mean those things that sell out as quickly if not quicker then the amiibo did back in the day? The things that never seem to reach store shelves?
@Timsworld lol yeah those
Didn't Sega do something like this with the Dreamcast version of Sonic Adventure?
I wish Nintendo would do it with BotW.
Sucks that this wont be for the 3ds version as well
@Timsworld Maybe they have a contract with the publisher or something that requires not to say anything. Believe me, they aren't evil, and they certainly would like more sales. Also, that wouldn't change the situation and regardless of that, they are still the company that made everything I said.
I wouldn't say they "ignore Europe", since the digital format is still available, and most users that have a 3DS have internet. It may not be the most comfortable format to some, but it's still available.
Sadly it won't be there for the 3DS version <_< It will be missed.
Although I do love the fact that Inti Creates keeps making these (adorable) seasonal wallpapers with new art every time.
Better than Nintendo's wallpapers where they just reuse the original official art and call it a day
@roy130390 While the digital format sounds nice and all it doesn't work all that well on a system like the 3DS that doesn't have any cloud functionalities whatsoever.
Wow should've played it but it's been sitting in the package brand new for the past 2 months lol oh well
