Rumor: Ubisoft having some trouble bringing Steep to Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 25 Comments
Steep was one of the first games Ubisoft announced for Switch. Yet oddly, we’ve barely heard a peep about it since the original announcement back in January. IGN France claims to have some insight into the situation.
IGN notes that Ubisoft has encountered difficulties having Steep run on Switch. Development continues however, and Nintendo is apparently lending its assistance, including the game’s online features. One of IGN’s sources does caution that it can’t promise a release on Switch.
For its part, Ubisoft says that Steep is still coming to Switch, but has no extra information to provide.

Physical Contact: Speed was originally expected on the Switch eShop today. In fact, Nintendo of Europe even listed it in its Nintendo Download press release for the week. Strangely though, it’s nowhere to be seen.
Developer Collavier sent out an update about the situation on its Twitter page. Physical Contact: Speed has been delayed, but not for terribly long. You can now expect it on July 13.

At E3 earlier this month, Nintendo hosted a game with some of its developers to find out just how much they know each other. Shigeru Miyamoto, Yoshiaki Koizumi, Hisashi Nogami, and Yosuke Kabuki all participated. See the full video below.
Dylan Cuthbert worked on a DS game that was 90% complete before being canned, was “one of Miyamoto’s pet projects”

It took more than two decades, but Star Fox 2 is finally seeing the day of light after so many years. Nintendo will be including the game on the Super NES Classic Edition later this year.
Dylan Cuthbert was among the developers who worked on Star Fox 2 way back in the day. As it turns out, that isn’t the only game Nintendo put on hold after it was so close to completion.
In an interview with Gamasutra, Cuthbert vaguely spoke about a DS game – apparently “one of Miyamoto’s pet projects” – that was 90 percent complete:
“There is a game we worked on with Nintendo, one of Miyamoto’s pet projects for the DS, but apart from that I can’t divulge anything. It got canceled at about a 90% state of completion but didn’t go through Mario Club or the QA process. It was a pretty interesting project!”
Sadly, Cuthbert didn’t say anything else about the project. That only leaves us to speculate as to what the game was and why Nintendo put the breaks on it.

GameFly, GameStop listings indicate Cartoon Network: Battle Crashers and Monster Jam Crush It are Switch-bound
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 6 Comments
A pair of new Switch games appear to be bound for Switch from CokeM Interactive. Both could be out in October.
GameFly and GameStop both list Cartoon Network: Battle Crashers, which previously came to other platforms such as 3DS. The two retailers also suggest that Monster Jam Crush It is planned for Switch.
GameFly often tends to be accurate with its listings, so we’re inclined to believe these are accurate.
Namco Museum launches July 28, new trailer
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 18 Comments
Namco Museum is about a month off, with Bandai Namco announcing today that the digital collection of titles is heading to Switch on July 28. This news applies to both North America and Europe.
Get a look at the newest Namco Museum trailer below:
We also have this overview:
PAC-MAN VS. is a four-player game based on the PAC-MAN series, originally created by Toru Iwatani. It was developed by Nintendo in 2003 under supervision by legendary game designer, Shigeru Miyamoto. In PAC-MAN VS., three players work together as the iconic ghosts and hunt down the fourth player, who has taken on the role of PAC-MAN, as they evade the ghosts and clear the maze of Pac Dots. Two Switch units are required to play as up to three ghosts play on one console and the PAC-MAN character plays on the other.
With NAMCO MUSEUM, players will be transported back to the days when coin-operated arcades reigned supreme for a truly nostalgic experience. Through the Nintendo Switch, retro arcade classics can be played anytime, anywhere, and against anyone through the game’s online ranking system (PAC-MAN VS. will not be supporting online ranking system). Players nostalgic for the classic coin-op era can transform their Nintendo Switch into a miniature arcade cabinet by turning the handheld console vertically for a taller, slimmer screen that replicates the original arcade experience. The NAMCO MUSEUM classic catalog includes favourites from Namco’s classic arcade collection, including PAC-MAN VS., PAC-MAN, Dig Dug, Galaga, Galaga ‘88, The Tower of Druaga, Rolling Thunder, Rolling Thunder 2, Sky Kid, Splatterhouse, and Tank Force.
Namco Museum will be priced at $29.99 / €29.99.
