Nintendo comments further on the removal of Switch user reviews on its website
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo added new functionality to its website last week, allowing Switch users to review games they played for more than two hours. But after just a few days, it was taken offline.
Nintendo put up a notice on its website regarding the reviews system, but now we have an official statement directly from the company. The feature says that the feature saw a “positive” response, and reiterated that its future is being evaluated. Nintendo says it has “no estimate on when an update will be provided on the status of this initiative”.
Peter Molyneux’s The Trail: Frontier Challenge sees stealth launch on Switch
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Update: Bumped to the top. The Trail: Frontier Challenge will launch in the Americas on March 8.
Original: Last year, The Trail: Frontier Challenge from Kongregate and 22cans released on Steam. Much like with Outlast yesterday, out of nowhere, the exploration-driven simulation game has now unexpectedly landed on Switch. This case is even stranger as we previously had no idea that The Trail would be making its way to Nintendo’s console.
The Trail: Frontier Challenge is a reworked version of 22cans’ mobile title that first appeared a couple of years ago. Peter Molyneux, the creator of Fable, Populous, Black & White, and other games, founded 22cans in 2012.
