Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk | 0 comments
Just when some had thought that Nintendo’s E3 2019 Direct could be ending with the announcement of Banjo-Kazooie in Smash Bros. Ultimate, fans were treated to one more surprise. We were given a first look look at Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 with a minute-long trailer. Although gameplay wasn’t shown, Nintendo left plenty of hints and sequences that will leave fans speculating about what’s to come for months on end.
Since everyone has had a couple of weeks to sit on the news, we wanted to hold our first Let’s Talk discussion about the game. What is everyone hoping to see in Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2? What changes or improvements would you want to see Nintendo implement? Do you have any theories about the story you’d like to share? Let us know in the comments below.

Kotaku has obtained some additional information about The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on Switch. CD Projekt Red told the site that most of that game’s graphical user interface (GUI) has been redone. Dynamic fonts and HUD size are available depending on which resolution the game is running at.
CD Projekt Red also said that touch controls could be implemented after launch. If that happens, players will be able to use them for the map and inventory.

Last chance to redeem Piranha Plant early purchase code for Smash Bros. Ultimate

For the launch of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Nintendo ran a special promotion. Those who purchased the game early were provided with a download code for Piranha Plant.
We assume that most of you have redeemed your codes at this point. However, if you haven’t by any chance, keep in mind that time is just about to run out on the promotion. Players only have until June 30 to redeem their codes, so they’ll become non-functional once the weekend ends.

After previously sharing art of Callie, Nintendo has posted another piece of art for Splatoon 2’s last Splatfest featuring Marie. We have it above.
“Even though Callie’s free spirit has been a good influence on her, Marie still like things to be nice & neat,” Nintendo says. “Even a bit of idle chit-chat needs a solid one-liner to stitch things up, which is why she’s Team Order.”

A Hat in Time, Slay the Spire listed for physical release on Switch
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Two Switch eShop titles could be getting the physical treatment. Over on Amazon Spain, A Hat in Time (which hasn’t been released yet) and Slay the Spire have been given new listings. U&I Entertainment is said to be the publisher / distributor.
It’s unclear if Amazon Spain’s listings are accurate. The site does have odd pages up such as Steep and a physical version of BoxBoy! + BoxGirl!, which we’re pretty sure aren’t happening. Having said that, there’s a good chance that the pages for A Hat in Time and Slay the Spire are legitimate. We’ll let you know if we receive any official updates.

Video: Zelda: Breath of the Wild glitch gives a look at what’s hiding underwater
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch, Videos, Wii U | 0 comments
If there’s one area where Zelda: Breath of the Wild is lacking, you could point to underwater exploration. Simply put, this is essentially impossible in the game. Although Link can swim, he can’t dive or do much else in water.
Despite the fact that players don’t even see much of the world below the surface, it seems that the developers paid extra attention to an area that isn’t normally visible. A glitch, which starts when the scope is activated and then cancelled, allows for a view of what lies underwater.

Amazon Germany has started taking pre-orders for a bunch of amiibo – some of which are not up at other retailers. Dark Samus, Incineroar, Chrom, Simon Belmont, Richter, Snake, Squirtle, and Ivysaur are all now live. The full set can be found here.
In case you’re wondering, these amiibo should ship to other countries. We were able to place an order from the U.S. for example.
