NIS America thinks the Switch market will continue to grow, targeting the system going forward
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 10 Comments
NIS America was present at Switch’s launch with Disgaea 5 Complete, and released Touhou Kobuto V: Burst Battle not too long ago. The company is also readying The Longest Five Minutes and Penny Punching Princess. Going forward, we can expect this type of support to continue.
In a recent issue of MCV, NIS America president and CEO Takuro Yamashita said that Disgaea 5 Complete “did very, very well.” He believes that “the Switch market is only going to grow and become stronger” over the next couple of years. Because of this, NIS America wants to target Switch along with the PlayStation 4 and Steam as platforms it supports.

Rumor: Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp started off as a more simplistic town-building game
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, Rumors | 14 Comments
At the end of October, The Wall Street Journal shared some rumored information claiming that one reason for Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp’s delay was due to the game seeing an overhaul “at least once during the development process to ensure quality.” Liam Robertson from Unseen64 apparently has more on the situation, and dug up details about how a much different title was initially planned.
Development on the Animal Crossing game for mobile apparently began in early 2016. At the time, what Nintendo had been cooking up was said to be more simplistic.

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 1 Comment
Black The Fall is coming to Switch. Rather than having the news revealed through an official announcement or an eShop listing, we’ve actually found out about it through the system’s news feature. The game now has a channel of its own, though no posts have been made just yet.
Black The Fall is a puzzle-platform game that released earlier this year, and some have compared it to Inside – another game planned for Switch. Square Enix published the title and supported it through its Square Enix Collective program.
We have additional details about Black The Fall below, along with a trailer.

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 58 Comments
The Switch Pro Controller has been widely praised since launch. However, some players have taken issue with its d-pad. With the new version of the controller released alongside Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Nintendo may have made some improvements.
One difference pointed out by Reddit user Howwy23 is that the pole in the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 controller has a pole that’s longer than the old version. The old version had its own pole, but was apparently shorter.
