How Ys VIII ended up on Switch
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 97 Comments
This week, it was revealed during the Nintendo Direct Mini that Ys VIII is coming to Switch this summer. It’s a pretty big deal since Falcom’s series hasn’t appeared on a Nintendo platform in quite some time – it’s primarily been a PlayStation franchise as of late.
Interestingly, the Switch version of Ys VIII is not actually being handled by Falcom directly. NIS America is publishing the game in North America, while parent company Nippon Ichi will release it in Japan.
Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp version 1.1.2 fixes Isabelle kite kimono mistake
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 0 comments
Nintendo sent out a new update for Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp earlier in the week. According to the official patch notes, bug fixes were implemented. It was a clear sign that the update was small in nature.
The update also makes a change that is small, yet still interesting. In version 1.1.2, the Isabelle kite model was altered. It was previously right over left before, but now shows the correct left over right folding. The original way is only used when dressing the dead for burial, and is considered to be very bad luck. Nintendo obviously noticed the error and quickly made the fix.

Assault Android Cactus dev on possible Switch version: “It’s on our radar”
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 1 Comment
Assault Android Cactus was announced for Wii U a few years ago. But unfortunately, that version of the game has failed to materialize. Wii U is likely out of the question at this point, but a Switch version could be possible.
Witch Beam’s Tim Dawson was asked about the chances of Assault Android Cactus coming to Switch. Dawson wouldn’t commit to anything, but did say: “It’s on our radar.”

Kimishima on Switch’s momentum compared to Wii and more
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii | 152 Comments
We’ve heard Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima say that the new worldwide sales target for Switch this fiscal year is 20 million units. That would surprise the previous target by about 1.4 times.
Speaking with Mainichi, Kimishima said: “In order to be playable in the long term, the second year is crucial. Our task is to add more users, including people who barely touch game consoles.” He also said Nintendo has to expand the game library, take in new players, and raise the Switch as “a game console with long lifespan.”

After a crazy week of anticipation and trolling relating to a possible Nintendo Direct, a presentation dropped out of thin air on Thursday. It wasn’t as big as some past presentations – no surprise there given the addition of “mini” in the name – but there were still some surprises.
Switch received all of the love this time around. Highlights included Dark Souls: Remastered, Mario Tennis Aces, The World Ends with You: Final Remix, and SNK Heroines ~Tag Team Frenzy~. We also now know that Hyrule Warriors, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, and Ys VIII are all coming to Switch. New updates and DLC were announced for Super Mario Odyssey, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, and Pokken Tournament DX were revealed as well. Finally, Kirby Star Allies, Fe, and Celeste were all dated.
