Did Level-5’s CEO tease Inazuma Eleven Ares for Switch?
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 17 Comments
Inazuma Eleven Ares was announced during the Level-5 Vision event last year. Since then, we haven’t seen too much of the project. Level-5 has been hosting semi-regular Inazuma Walker live streams, but we really haven’t seen much, especially when it comes to the upcoming game.
Level-5 did host another live stream earlier today. The big news is that the anime has been pushed back to Spring 2018. Originally, it was planned for this summer before being officially announced for October.
Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino also briefly talked about the Inazuma Eleven Ares game towards the end of the stream. In an exchange with the show’s MC, Hino seemed to hint that it will be on the Switch.
Here’s the basic exchange between the two:

Batman: The Enemy Within listed for Switch on both Amazon and GameStop
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
All sorts of retailers have been suggesting that Batman: The Enemy Within is coming to Switch. What we considered to be a very good sign is when GameFly listed the game. The retailer tends to be spot on more often than not.
If you didn’t trust GameFly’s listing though, even more evidence has popped up. Amazon and GameStop both say that Batman: The Enemy Within is heading to Switch as well.
At this point, we’d be extremely surprised if this wasn’t happening. It may just take Telltale Games awhile to make it official. Even though we pretty much knew about Minecraft: Story Mode – The Complete Adventure on Switch, the announcement took a significantly long time to appear.

New details about the new Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon Z-Power Ring
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon received a real life Z-Ring last year by TOMY. Similar to those two games, Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon are receiving the same treatment. TOMY’s website offers more details about the Z-Power Ring.
We were right in our speculation yesterday, but anyone likely could have guessed what the ring does based on last year’s version. When performing a Z-Move in Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon, the ring itself lights up, emits sound, and vibrates. TOMY promises a 4D experience of sorts.
Those in Japan will be able to purchase a Z-Power Ring Set. It’ll come with the ring itself, six Z-Crystals, a Collection Board, and a Pokemon Ga-Ole Special Disc (that Japanese-only arcade game). Pricing will be set at 4,990 yen.
R.B.I. Baseball 17 file size, supported controllers
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 6 Comments
The Switch eShop has updated with a listing for R.B.I. Baseball 17. It’s due out very soon, as it’s planned for September 5.
R.B.I. Baseball 17 will be sold physically, but also as a digital download. The latter option will require 3.1GB of free space.
The eShop also lists supported controllers. You should be able to use the Joy-Con or the Pro Controller in docked mode. Also noted is the ability to pop off the Joy-Con and play with a friend, which makes it sound like the split Joy-Con setup is supported.
Thanks to Jes T for the tip.

Beautiful art from Metroid: Samus Returns’ opening
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Images | 16 Comments
Metroid: Samus Returns doesn’t have a massive amount of story, which fans would probably agree is a good thing. However, Nintendo and MercurySteam did expand upon things a bit more compared to the original Game Boy game.
When you first start Samus Returns, you’ll be treated to an opening with lovely art recapping the first Metroid game. The images maintain the look of a comic book, and may look even better when viewed in stereoscopic 3D. Take a look at some images snapped from Metroid: Samus Returns’ opening below.
Fire Emblem devs on how the “Battle of Revolution” April Fools’ Day joke came to be
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 9 Comments
Earlier this week, we made note of an interview Nintendo Dream conducted this summer with the developers of Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. In the same interview, Nintendo and Intelligent Systems talked about the “Battle of Revolution” April Fools’ Day joke that took place earlier this year.
It was kind of surprising to see Nintendo go all out with fabricating a game like that. A site was set up, and various images and details were created just for the joke. Basically, Battle of Revolution was imagined as a NES-style game set in the late Edo period of Japan.
Nintendo’s Hitoshi Yamagami and Kenta Nakanishi as well as Intelligent Systems’ Toshiyuki Kusakihara and Masahiro Higuchi discussed Battle of Revolution and how it came to be. It’s an interesting read, with the excerpt posted below. You can also read the full interview on Kantopia.
