Brian, Author at Nintendo Everything

GameSpot editor Peter Brown opened up the NES Classic Edition and is giving gamers a look at what’s inside the device. The big takeaway, as Nintendo previously explained, is that new titles can’t be added. This is reconfirmed now that we’re able to see the components used by the NES Classic Edition.

For those interested in some of the finer technical details, here’s a rundown of what’s inside:

– SoC: Allwinner R16 (4x Cortex A7, Mali400MP2 GPU)
– RAM: SKHynix (256MB DDR3)
– Flash: Spansion 512MB SLC NAND flash, TSOP48
– PMU: AXP223

Monster Hunter Stories amiibo work with the English version of Animal Crossing: New Leaf

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 4 Comments

With Animal Crossing: New Leaf’s new update, Nintendo added in compatibility with a bunch of amiibo. In the English Animal Crossing Direct broadcast earlier today, we heard about the likes of Splatoon and Zelda. However, in the Japanese presentation, the recently-released Monster Hunter Stories figures were specifically mentioned as well.

Even though Capcom’s Monster Hunter Stories amiibo are only being sold in Japan currently, they’re actually compatible with the English version of New Leaf. The text has been localized and everything. If you’ve imported any of the figures, they should work!

Rumor: Switch launching within the week of March 17

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 24 Comments

Laura Kate Dale from Lets Play Video Games may have some knowledge about Switch’s launch. She’s heard from a source that the PAL date is currently set for March 17 – meaning the day it would be out across Europe and Australia. As for other territories, while the release date won’t be uniform in all regions, Nintendo intends to ship Switch within the same week. Japan may have it a few days earlier.

Dale’s information comes from the same source who informed her about Switch’s reveal trailer date before it was made known. Gamers are advised to take today’s rumor with a grain of salt, though she believes what she’s heard is accurate.

The only window Nintendo shared for Switch’s launch thus far is March 2017. A final date will be known during the system’s blowout presentation on January 12.
