Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 5 Comments
Nintendo recently announced that the proper unveiling of the Switch, the company’s newest home console, would take place on January 12th at Tokyo Big Sight, with the chance for visitors to try it out themselves during the following days. Unsurprisingly, this won’t be the only time potential buyers will be able to get their hands on the Switch. Today, Nintendo announced that the Switch will be playable at Tokaigi 2017: Game Party Japan on February 11th and February 12th at Makuhari Messe in Chiba (the same venue used for Tokyo Game Show). Further details were not announced at this point. Nintendo is also listed as the sole “special partner” for the convention.

RPG Maker Fes Player launches next week in Japan, one week before the full game
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
RPG Maker Fes, the next installment in the RPG Maker series, launches on November 24th in Japan for 3DS. The games created with it can be played with the RPG Maker Fes Player which, as we previously reported, is a piece of software that can be downloaded for free from the eShop, even if you don’t own RPG Maker Fes.
Today, it’s been revealed via Famitsu that the RPG Maker Fes Player launches on November 16th, one week before RPG Maker Fes. Since there obviously won’t be any games created by other players with RPG Maker Fes at that point, the RPG Maker Fes Player will instead allow you to try out a selection of games created by “legendary creators” – prominent developers and contest winners. Famitsu will detail those games in its next issue.

Generation 2 Pokemon data found in latest Pokemon GO update
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in Mobile, News | 15 Comments
Pokemon GO’s latest update has begun rolling out, and it seems like there’s more than just the officially documented changes in it. Data miners at The Silph Road discovered data for 100 new Pokemon in the update – everything from Chikorita to Celebi, i.e. the whole of generation 2. Moveset data for these Pokemon seems to not have been added yet.
That’s not all, though – data for Ditto and its signature move, Transform, has also been found in the update.
Of course, keep in mind that this is all just datamined info at this point – these new Pokemon are not available in the actual game yet, and all of this info is subject to change.

Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News, Videos | 0 comments
SEGA released some extensive new gameplay footage of Puyo Puyo Chronicle today:
The folks at Gematsu have also translated some new info that was released at gamer.ne.jp today.
A new feature of Puyo Puyo Chronicle is the new “Skill Battle” rule. Players form a team of up to three characters and have to make good use of the skills that each character has. There are two types of skills – “Auto Skills” are triggered automatically under certain conditions, whereas “Special Skills” have to be manually activated by pressing the X button and cost MP.
Skills can have a variety of effects – changing the state of the puzzle field, recovering HP and so on. Each character has a variety of skills to choose from, and they also get more powerful the more you use them. Skills can help you beat the game even if you aren’t that good at puzzle games.
Head past the break for some new characters and the skills they possess:

NES Classic interviews with Miyamoto and Sakamoto now officially translated
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
A couple of weeks ago, Nintendo published two interviews with Shigeru Miyamoto and Yoshio Sakamoto on their Japanese website. Miyamoto, obviously, created Donkey Kong, and Sakamoto developed Balloon Fight. Both of these NES games are among the games lineup of the NES Classic Mini, which was the occasion for these interviews. Now, Nintendo of America has provided an official translation of both interviews on their website. We’ve already provided an overview of the Miyamoto interview here, but it if you want to check out the official translation, you can find it here. The Sakamoto interview about Balloon Fight is located here.
