A few years ago, Bandai Namco created the board game Gotouchi Tetsudou (Local Railroads: Local Characters and a Journey All Around Japan) for Wii U and 3DS. That same game is now crossing over to Switch.
Bandai Namco announced Gotouchi Tetsudou for Nintendo’s new console today. Some new elements are planned, including the appearance of Angel Ojapon, voice acting (Masako Nozawa, the voice of Goku is lending her talents), new events, and new mini-games.
Bandai Namco intends to release Gotouchi Tetsudou for Switch in Japan this winter. We have plenty of information in our Wii U / 3DS announcement post here.

Nintendo’s PAX West panel is a Metroid: Samus Returns-themed Nintendo Minute
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
PAX West provided its official schedule for all of the events taking place at the expo at the beginning of September. A “special” Nintendo panel was among what was listed.
The listing has since updated, and provides details as to what’s in store. Rather than a developer panel, Kit and Krysta will actually be hosting a live episode of Nintendo Minute. Attendees will be treated to some new gameplay, which we should see later on.
Here’s the official panel description:
Join us for a live filming of Nintendo Minute! We’ll be taking a look at new game play for Metroid: Samus Returns, showing off some amazing fan art submitted by you and giving away some cool Metroid goodies. Hope to see you there! – Kit & Krysta

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed stealthily joins the Nintendo Selects line in North America
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 15 Comments
A random game has joined the Nintendo Selects line in North America. The title in question is Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, which launched for Wii U way back in 2012.
Usually when a game is given the Nintendo Selects treatment, Nintendo makes an announcement. It’s also fairly rare that a third-party game is added to the line, especially in North America. It’s interesting that this came out of nowhere, though as you may recall, something similar happened with Frozen: Olaf’s Quest last year.
Amazon Germany lists Ostwind / Windstorm for Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 1 Comment
EuroVideo recently made a game called Ostwind, otherwise known as Windstorm. The title, based on the German book series / film, now appears to be Switch-bound.
A listing for Ostwind on Switch popped up on Amazon Germany. The page lacks information at present, but we can probably assume that it’s the same game as the Steam version. EuroVideo published Ostwind on the PC service last month.
