Motion controls in Arms are optional
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 68 Comments
When Nintendo unveiled Arms during the Switch presentation, using motion controls was something that was highlighted quite a bit. That being said, they aren’t mandatory. Nintendo said during its Treehouse Live stream that you can use buttons if you prefer. This is important to point out, since some players would prefer to play Arms traditionally.
Thanks to lightdasher for the tip.
Zelda: Breath of the Wild – here’s Zelda crying in seven different languages
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Videos, Wii U | 78 Comments
One of the more impactful moments from the new Zelda: Breath of the Wild trailer was the brief scene showing Zelda crying. The video as a whole had a fair amount of voice acting on display.
Speaking of voice acting, each country will have dialogue spoken in its native language. That means there are versions of the trailer floating around with different voice actors.
If you’d like to listen to how Zelda’s crying compares in various countries, view the video below.

Callie will also be back in Splatoon 2
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 27 Comments
Splatoon 2’s debut trailer gave us a quick look (or rather tease) at Marie, one of the Squid Sisters. But what about Callie? Well, you’ll be happy to hear that she’s back as well.
During a stage show for Splatoon 2 at Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017, producer Hisashi Nogami confirmed that Callie is returning. One of the hosts mentioned seeing Marie in Splatoon 2’s video, yet Callie was nowhere to be seen. Nogami said in response that Callie is still around, and joked about how she was busy for her business so she couldn’t participate in filming.

Switch interface shows symbol for airplane mode
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 37 Comments
Nintendo hasn’t gone in-depth with Switch’s interface, but we have some what it looks like. One interesting thing about it is the inclusion of a symbol for airplane mode. That’s kicked off speculation about Switch potentially offering a data connection for play outside of the home, but a more likely explanation is that Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are disabled when it’s turned on.
