Ubisoft Club website lists Assassin’s Creed III Remastered for Switch
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
What’s going on with Assassin’s Creed on Switch at the moment? That question seems to be a bit of a mystery.
Assassin’s Creed Compilation was listed by a German retailer last year. Since then other Czech stores had pages up for Assassin’s Creed III on Switch. But Ubisoft ended up announcing the game last week, and Switch wasn’t mentioned among the confirmed platforms. A few days later the Ubisoft Club website has now listed Assassin’s Creed III Remastered for Nintendo’s console.
Is it happening or not? Assuming it is, Ubisoft should be saying something soon. Having it in a Nintendo Direct would certainly make sense, and that has been rumored to be taking place sometime this week.

GameStop Germany lists Spyro Reignited Trilogy for Switch
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Update (2/11): GameStop Germany has now removed the listing. Make of that what you will.
Original (2/10): A listing has appeared on GameStop Germany for a Switch version of Spyro Reignited Trilogy. The retailer has an August 16 release date, though it could be a placeholder. We should also warn that the listing itself isn’t confirmation of an upcoming announcement.
In the past, Spyro Reignited Trilogy has been listed for Switch in a couple of places, including the Nintendo UK store and Spyro UK website. However, Toys For Bob producer Peter Kavic indicated at the end of last year that he hadn’t seen an attempt to get the games up and running on the console.
Thanks to Sina for the tip.
Rumor: Nintendo was planning Mother 3 localization, but decided against it due to controversial aspects
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 0 comments
For many years, one of the Nintendo rumors that continued to surface time and time again was a possible localization of Mother 3. After EarthBound Beginnings was added to the Wii U Virtual Console back in 2015, things looked even more hopeful. Speculation has since started to die down though, and we haven’t really heard much about the game’s status.
Game Informer senior editor Imran Khan claims to have some information about what happened. Khan says, “It was full steam ahead for a while but upon re-evaluation there were aspects of the game that weren’t going to go without controversy”.
Khan didn’t say what those elements were specifically, but it sounds like Nintendo wasn’t interested in changing the title or censoring it in any way for the western market. That means the idea of localization was abandoned, and Mother 3 remains a game that has only been released in Japan.

Song of Memories dev explains Switch cancellation
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Last month, PQube announced that the Switch version of Song of Memories had been cancelled. Yasuo Omote from developer Future Tech Lab attempted to explain the situation on Twitter a little while back.
Omote started out by saying that the team had a lot of trouble with licensing during development on the Switch version. He believes they could take it on themselves, but just don’t have the resources for it right now. The development costs and the associated burdens would be too much. Future Tech Lab is working on Song of Unleash as well, so Omote wondered if it’ll be okay for Switch. As he said though, they’ve had trouble with licensing.
