Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 4 Comments
A new patch has been issued for Namco Museum on Switch. If you’ve downloaded the game, version 1.0.1. is available.
The patch notes are as follows:
– Improvement of input delay on some titles
– Game operation stability improvement
– Revising issue of displaying improper numbers on some ranking scores
* Some way to display ranking is changed
Bandai Namco also says that the input delay fix is just an improvement. The few frames delay is impossible to avoid due to the nature of Switch’s hardware. It’s impossible to be fixed completely.

Nintendo on Mario World / Yoshi’s Island – Yoshi’s creation and having him in a starring role, visual style, more
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 3 Comments
Nintendo has translated the full Super Mario World / Yoshi’s Island interview we saw snippets of in Japanese earlier this week. Out of all of Nintendo’s interviews for the SNES Classic Edition thus far, this one might be the most interesting.
Takashi Tezuka, Shigefumi Hino, and Hisashi Nogami were all present to talk about the SNES games. They chatted about how Yoshi came to be, how he ended up getting a starring role in his own title, the visual style for Yoshi’s Island, and a bunch more. We also have the official translation about the original plan to have Mario hitting Yoshi when his tongue sticks out.
Continue on below for the full interview with Tezuka, Hino, and Nogami.
Pokemon Gold/Silver for the 3DS Virtual Console sold over 50,000 copies at retail in Japan
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 1 Comment
Pokemon Gold and Pokemon Silver hit the 3DS Virtual Console last week. As was the case in Europe, Nintendo offered boxed versions. Media Create doesn’t have any sales data on this front, but Famitsu has thankfully come through with a bit of data.
Famitsu reports that Pokemon Gold and Pokemon Silver sold 56,013 units collectively. The site does not include digital sales in that figure, and the split between the two versions is unclear. Gold/Silver are actually at the top of Famitsu’s chart, slightly edging out Pokken Tournament DX. It’s definitely a solid debut.
