Assuming there isn’t a last-minute delay, NeuroVoider will be coming to Switch next week. Nintendo’s North American website has it listed for September 7, as does the European Switch eShop.
Here’s an overview of the game:
NeuroVoider* is a twin-stick shooter RPG set in a cyber futuristic world about brains shooting around evil robots with nuclear rocket launchers. Battle through the horde of vigilant robots, boost your character with the smoking remains of your victims, and defeat the master NeuroVoider to end this eternal war. Play it coop with up to 4 friends, or go alone in an adventure of hack’n’slash rampage, with a pinch of rogue-lite, and some permadeath.
* may contain explosions.
Features
- Action packed top-down shooting. May include explosions.
- Local multiplayer up to 4 players. Total coop rampage.
- Procedurally generated content and hazards. Hope you don’t mind a few game overs.
- 8736 unique enemies to blow up. Yes, we counted.
- Tons of loot to customize your character with. Explode your foes with that “double twin-plasma shotgun of father doom” you’ve just dropped.
- Gigantic bosses to challenge your bullet dodging skills.
- Powerful dark synth music by Dan Terminus. May your ears survive the beat.
NeuroVoider will cost $13.99 / £12.99
Nintendo says physical games for Switch requiring microSD card will let you play a portion of the game out of the box
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 75 Comments
Earlier today, Nintendo announced a partnership with Western Digital for specially-branded Switch microSD cards. Perhaps that’s in part due to a requirement from some upcoming games. According to Nintendo, “a microSD card will be needed for certain Nintendo Switch games that contain an especially large amount of content and require additional storage for players to enjoy the full experience.”
A Nintendo of America representative told IGN that boxart will be sure to inform consumers about the memory card requirement on the front and back of packaging. This includes NBA 2K18, which is pictured above. The eShop will also continue to let buyers know about file sizes.

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle creative director: Nintendo is “quite open-minded” to new ideas

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is a crazy concept in its premise, yet Nintendo ended up signing off on the project. Creative director Davide Soliani told IGN that the company is actually “quite open-minded” to new ideas. You just need to come up with a concept that can justify its existence.
As many of you know, Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto didn’t want Ubisoft to create a platformer. Instead, he wanted them to come up with their own concept. Ubisoft ran wild with the challenge, and created a turn-based strategy game and gave guns to Mario and the rest of the gang.

FIFA 18 dev on missing content, feels Switch hardware is “very difficult”
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 51 Comments
Eurogamer recently spoke with Andrei Lăzărescu, a developer at EA Sports Bucharest working on FIFA 18. The site asked about missing content such as the FUT Champions and Squad Battles modes, and whether this is because they expect more casual play on Switch.
Lăzărescu said in response:
“I see it as being more social. …casual represents different things to different people. I look at them as two different games, two different worlds, that I think we should take for what they are, and keep in mind that we should not try to force people onto certain things just because it works on a certain platform.”
FIFA 18 is using a different engine on Switch than other platforms. On PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, EA is using Frostbite. This is what allows for features like the Journey follow-up, the new ‘cinematic’ Career Mode transfers, a special animation system, and more detailed stadiums and crowds. Lăzărescu feels that the Switch hardware “is very difficult,” and a future mode exactly like the Journey is “unlikely.” He also added that the aforementioned additions “would take an army of people, if it was possible, to be done.”
