Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 29 Comments
Experience has never been associated with Nintendo platforms. In the future, however, that will likely be changing. Hajime Chikami, the president of Experience, expressed interest in developing for the console in a brief message posted on Twitter.
Experience might be best known for its work on the dungeon crawling Demon Gaze series. The studio also developed Stranger of Sword City and Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy.

Detective Pikachu movie expected to start filming in January 2018
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 9 Comments
A film based on Detective Pikachu was announced last year. The project has gone somewhat dark this year, but it looks like things are about to pick up in just a few months.
Omega Underground spotted a product listing showing that Detective Pikachu will be filming in London, UK on January 15, 2018. A short blurb says that it’s a film involving “a new character and storyline in the Pokemon universe.”
Rob Letterman (Goosebumps, Monsters Vs. Aliens, and Shark Tale) will be directing Detective Pikachu. Nicole Perlman and Alex Hirsch are working on the script.
Square Enix has launched Lost Sphear in Japan. The RPG can be purchased in stores, though a digital version is being distributed as well. It’s a 2.4GB download, in case you’re curious.
Lost Sphear is still a few months out in the west. It’s planned for January 23 in both North America and Europe.

Opportunity to get the Zelda: Breath of the Wild Deluxe Edition guide for free on Amazon
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 28 Comments
Update (10/15): The Zelda: Breath of the Wild Deluxe Edition guide is temporarily out of stock (you still might be able to place an order), but the offer is still running. You can find a few other books that folks have had success with here. Books like The Art of Fire Emblem Awakening, The Art of Splatoon, and The Legend of Zelda: Art & Artifacts are eligible.
Original (10/14): Amazon is running a new offer on its website that could net you a free copy of the Zelda: Breath of the Wild Deluxe Edition guide. On the listing page, you should see a banner advertising an opportunity to get the book free as well as two others with an Audible trial. Click on that banner (it may require a refresh if you’re not seeing the correct banner) and start the trial (you can cancel pretty much immediately or whenever else you want).
Once you’ve complete the steps, which should only take a minute or two, you should see that the guide will be reduced to 100% off at checkout. Definitely not a bad offer, especially when you can save $50 in the process.
You can try the offer on Amazon here. We’ve only tried this with the Zelda guide, but it should work with at least some other books as well.
