Hand-drawn platforming adventure Boom Buster confirmed for Switch
Posted on 2 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch eShop, Videos | 0 comments
Boom Buster recently took to Kickstarter, and in the final hour of the campaign, support for Switch was confirmed.
The game had already reached its funding goal at $50,000. It was unclear if there’d be a Switch port since that stood at a $70,000 stretch goal, but the campaign ended with just a little over that amount. Although the project likely won’t be completed until at least a couple of years for now, Nintendo fans can look forward to that in the future.

Star Fox artist says Miyamoto has “strong feelings” for the IP, believes it will return at some point
Posted on 2 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Nintendo hasn’t done much with Star Fox since Star Fox Zero on Wii U – which came out years ago – but Takaya Imamura believes it will return someday.
For those that are unaware, Imamura was the character designer for Star Fox. He naturally has ties to Shigeru Miyamoto, who took the lead on the franchise. Imamura was speaking with The Gamer in a recent interview and mentioned how Miyamoto has “strong feelings” for Star Fox. While no one can say what exactly will happen in the future, Imamura thinks it will return at some point, but in what form and when he wouldn’t make any predictions.

[Let’s Talk] Indie World Showcase + Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase reactions
Posted on 2 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo fans tend to go by the company’s patterns, but every now and then, the company throws a curveball. That’s exactly what happened this week. We’re generally used to getting a Nintendo Direct before the Tokyo Game Show in September, but we instead saw a new presentation to end August. On top of that, it was shown right after an Indie World Showcase. We’re not used to seeing back to back presentations from Nintendo, but again, you can’t always predict what the Big N will do.
There were so many games between the two presentations – over forty in fact – that we can’t possibly mention them all here. For the Indie World Showcase through, a big highlight was the announcement and release of Pizza Tower. Meanwhile, the Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase featured Capcom Fighting Collection 2, Castlevania Dominus Collection, The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 1st, Atelier Yumia, Tales of Graces f Remastered, Tetris Forever, MySims: Cozy Bundle, Star Overdrive, and more.

Yakuza is finally heading to Switch for the first time. However, digital will be your only option – even in Japan. The good news is that SEGA seems to be pricing the game appropriately, and it will only cost $20.
