Rumor: Nintendo says Switch is a home console successor, 3DS successor coming in the future
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors, Switch, Wii U | 206 Comments
A Japanese tweet has been making the rounds over the past few hours about what one person tied to the investor-side of Nintendo relayed from the company. Apparently, Switch is intended to be a home console successor (Wii U). Nintendo’s home and handheld systems are still separate, with a 3DS successor coming at some point in the future.
I can’t personally verify the source, so it’s slightly dubious for now (and hence the rumor part). That being said, Nintendo has sort of talked about how Switch is intended to be the company’s next console. Plans could also change in the future depending on how Switch plans out.
Thanks to Justin A for the tip.

Masuda on what it’s like inside of a Pokeball
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Random | 12 Comments
Have you ever wondered what it’s like for a Pokemon to be inside of a Pokeball? Kotaku asked this burning question to Junichi Masuda of Game Freak, who is a long-time developer on the series.
On that topic, Masuda had this to say:
“I think it’s safe to say that it’s very comfortable inside inside of a Pokeball, it’s a very comfortable environment. Maybe the equivalent of a high-end suite room in a fancy hotel.”
This is certainly good to hear. Pokemon deserve the utmost comfort!
