A look at the Inazuma Eleven Ares boxart
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Images, Switch | 0 comments
In a recent issue of a Japanese magazine, the boxart for Inazuma Eleven has been posted. We’re not quite sure which one has the game featured, but we’re assuming it’s CoroCoro.
No matter the case, we have the image showing the boxart above. We should have a better look straight from Level-5 in the near future.
Thanks to m_t for the tip.

Don’t Starve: Nintendo Switch Edition, Regalia: Of Men and Monarchs updates coming soon
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Two Switch games that released this week will soon be receiving updates.
First up, Klei has confirmed that a patch for Don’t Starve: Nintendo Switch Edition has already been submitted to Nintendo. It’ll fix issues like being unable to see rabbit holes. Additional languages will also be supported in the future.
Regalia: Of Men and Monarchs is also getting an update imminently, if it isn’t live already. Version 1.01 fixes an issue in which some minor GUI elements were missing. Playability isn’t impacted, “but definitely makes Regalia look less pleasant” than initially planned.

Yooka-Laylee celebrated its very first birthday this week. To celebrate, developer Playtonic shared a brief blog post here.
The big takeaways from the post are a couple of interesting teases. Playtonic says the team has been “far too busy working on covert goodness”. We’ll soon be hearing about “extra content for Yooka-Laylee” as well as “other stuff.”
What could “other stuff” be? A new game? Something else? Hopefully we’ll have more news to share soon.

Billy Mitchell finally responds to recent controversy, intends to prove that his scores are legitimate
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Billy Mitchell has been the focus of much scrutiny this week. Twin Galaxies determined that Mitchell’s high scores achieved in Donkey Kong were not earned on natural arcade hardware, but rather through emulation which leaves the door open to cheating. Mitchell’s scores were thrown out, and he was banned from submitting future scores in the future. Guinness World Records is also wiping the slate clean.
We haven’t heard from Mitchell himself this week – until today. At the Midwest Gaming Classic in Milwaukee, he offered up the following statement:

SEGA Ages could expand with Saturn and Dreamcast games in the future
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
SEGA Ages kicked off the weekend with a new announcement for Switch owners. Starting this summer, SEGA and M2 will be publishing classic games on the eShop. Sonic the Hedgehog, Phantasy Star, Thunder Force IV, Alex Kidd, and Gain Ground are among the confirmed titles. During a stage show at SEGA Fes, more details about the download initiative were shared.
Once the last wave of 3D Classics on 3DS wrapped up, it was decided that it would be a waste to just leave it there. That’s what initially led to SEGA and M2 once again partnering on classic games for Switch.
