Hello my beautiful Black Eagles, Blue Lions and Golden Deer! In this episode of NEP, we put on the boxing gloves and discuss microtransactions in gaming, why Fire Emblem: Three Houses is so damn good, and the wild mechanics with Dragon Quest Hero as he debuts in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. We also have a chat about the new additions to Nintendo Switch Online and if they save the service or not, Ubisoft’s Chinese Rabbids game and the meager announcements from Nintendo and Tencent at ChinaJoy. Finally in our Listener Mail segment, we recommend JRPGs and give our brutally honest feelings about the Final Fantasy series and Kingdom Hearts series.
We hope you enjoy!

Ubisoft has pulled back the curtain on an entirely new Rabbids game for Switch, which could end up being a region exclusive. The game takes some inspiration from Journey to the West, and actually sees the Rabbids winding up in China.
Here’s the first trailer:
The new Rabbids title for Switch will be playable between August 2 and August 5 at ChinaJoy. Given the Chinese influence, it may not release in other territories. Regardless, it’s a savvy move on Ubisoft’s part as Nintendo is working with Tencent to bring Switch to China.

Ubisoft says many children and families still playing Just Dance on Wii, donated consoles and games to hospitals
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Just Dance is still going strong on Wii. A decade later, Ubisoft is keeping the console alive with the series’ latest entry, Just Dance 2020.
Some might be surprised to hear that Wii is still getting a new game. The logic makes sense though, as Ubisoft told Polygon: “A lot of our players are children and families who continue to play on Wii.”
Ubisoft is also going out of its way to help the community. The company said it has “donated consoles and Just Dance games over the years to children’s hospitals where they use the game with patients to help with movement, exercise, rehabilitation and just for fun, bringing a smile to their faces.”
