European retailers now getting Nintendo products closer to release date than before
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 4 Comments
GamesIndustry reports that Nintendo will begin to ship its products to European retailers closer to launch than in the past. By doing so, the company is looking to ensure that release dates are not broken.
Today’s news will have an impact on the smaller stores who order their stock through distribution in particular. These retailers won’t have as much time as they did before to ensure that products are delivered to customers on time. They may have to spend more on next-day delivery so that items are provided on release day.
Nintendo said in a statement that it is “consistently reviewing its shopping schedule” so that its European release dates are honored.

Nintendo seems to be publishing Dragon Quest Builders on Switch in the west
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 29 Comments
Square Enix has not one, but two Dragon Quest Builders game coming to Switch. The sequel was actually announced before the first game for Nintendo’s console. And then during the latest Nintendo Direct, the original Dragon Quest Builders was confirmed for all regions on Switch.
Interestingly, it seems as though Nintendo will be publishing the game in the west. No one seems to have really picked up on it or at least discussed it, but Dragon Quest Builders is listed with various other first-party releases for Switch in the company’s latest release schedule. Square Enix might be handling it in Japan, but at least overseas, it looks like Nintendo is publishing.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.

In 2015, news surfaced about an unreleased Justice League beat ’em up game. Double Helix had been working on the project, which was eventually morphed into Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters. Unseen64 and Did You Know Gaming? shared a new report on the original Justice League project today, officially confirming that it was planned for Wii.
16 characters would have been playable, including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, and Green Lantern. Story mode would have had players choosing between the five Justice League characters with their own attributes. Versus and training modes were also planned, in addition to a shop where players could purchase more characters and enhance heroes’ stats in the story mode.
