Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 30 Comments
The second Pokemon Sun/Moon Global Mission has ended. Unfortunately, the results aren’t any different from the first one. Just like the original mission, this one has also ended in failure.
Pokemon Sun/Moon players were tasked with using the Island Scan feature to catch or defeat 1 million Pokemon. Trainers can now receive 217 Festival Coins, but the reward would have been bigger had the mission been successful. Only 661,839 Pokemon were found during the eligible period.

You can defeat Big Boos in Super Mario World by sliding down stairs
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 24 Comments
Did you know Big Boos can be defeated by sliding down stairs in Super Mario World. It’s the only Boo in the game that can be taken down in that manner, so perhaps it was an oversight on the part of Nintendo’s developers.
Some players definitely knew about this, but there are plenty who were completely unaware of it. How many of you tried out that little secret back in the day?

The Next Penelope cancelled for Wii U, dev looking into feasibility of Switch version
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U eShop | 10 Comments
The Next Penelope originally came out in 2015. A Wii U version was planned, but creator Aurélien Regard has since confirmed that it’s been cancelled on the console.
The one bright spot here is that Regard is looking into whether a port on Switch will be possible. It also sounds like he’s hoping to bring his next game to the new system since Unity is supported, which is what the project is built on.
Continue on below for Regard’s full comments on the situation.

More Switch accessory listings appear – “wand” mode for Joy-Con mentioned
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 51 Comments
Switch accessories have been popping up left and right over the past couple of weeks. Now from Nordic distributor Pan Vision, a bunch more have been listed.
Perhaps the most interesting of the bunch is for Joy-Con armor guards. In that listing, it mentions separate “wand” and “controller” modes for the controller. Another accessory hints at voice chat, but I think that’s something we were all expecting from Switch at this point.
