Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch | 0 comments
This week, Nintendo dropped a new Switch firmware update with significant functionality. Version 14.0.0 has introduced something called groups, which is a way for system owners to organize their games and other content on the home menu. It’s the closest thing we have to folders at the moment.
With groups, you can organize things in pretty much any way you’d like. Some are choosing to create them based on their favorite games, different games in a particular franchise, and more.
We’re curious to see how you’ve arranged your groups, so feel free to share screenshots below. You can also tell us about by writing a comment.

Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch | 0 comments
It’s crazy to think that after five years, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has started to receive some major content. Nintendo kicked off the game’s brand new Booster Course Pass this week. Two cups – with four tracks each – were added a day or so go. The fun doesn’t stop there, as we’ll be getting seven more waves by the end of 2023. With 48 remastered tracks coming to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in total, needless to say there’s a lot to look forward to.
With the first wave of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass DLC having been dropped, how many of you have given the new tracks a shot? What are your thoughts? Which courses do you personally want to see added in the future? Let us know in the comments below.
[Let’s Talk] Your dream Switch collection
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch | 0 comments
Switch has its fair share of new games, but also quite a large selection of releases from prior generations. And five years in, things are still very strong on that front. This past week we saw the announcement of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection. In last month’s Nintendo Direct, it was revealed that Portal: Companion Collection is in the works. Nintendo has even dabbled with that idea having released Super Mario 3D All-Stars. Obviously that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Switch has shown that it still has a lot of life left, and that means collections will continue to be a mainstay. With that in mind, is there a dream collection you’d like to see? Let us know in the comments below.

Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Let's Talk, Mobile, Switch | 0 comments
Despite it being a weekend, a pretty big Nintendo-related presentation took place today. Pokemon Presents is something we’ve seen previously, but it made a return again for Pokemon Day.
It goes without saying that Pokemon Scarlet / Violet was the biggest announcement of the show, closing out the presentation. Gen 9 is here, and it’s bringing along an open-world with it. We also got a new update for Pokemon Legends: Arceus, Shaymin’s appearance in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond / Shining Pearl, Alola Pokemon for Pokemon GO, and more. You can catch up on all of the news here.
What are your thoughts on the Pokemon Presents video that aired earlier today? How do you feel about Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet thus far? Let us know in the comments below.
[Let’s Talk] Your top Wii U and 3DS eShop picks
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, Let's Talk, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
One of the big pieces of Nintendo news this week concerns the eShop, as in one way, the digital store will be ending on both Wii U and 3DS. Starting in late March 2023, it will be closing down for business on these platforms. New purchases will no longer be possible.
Many Wii U and 3DS games have made their way over to Switch, but a ton have also stayed behind. That means a lot of hidden gems will be left behind without a way for new players to get their hands on them once March 2023 rolls by.
With that in mind, we want to hear about some of your top picks that you’d suggest Wii U and 3DS owners should pick up. Are there any particular games you feel flew under the radar? Let us know in the comments below.

Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch | 0 comments
A new February 2022 Nintendo Direct aired this week, and it was quite the juicy one. Nintendo itself had its fair share of announcements per usual, and third-parties jumped in with some news as well.
Looking strictly at what Nintendo brought to the show, the company revealed Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Mario Strikers: Battle League, Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Houses, and Nintendo Switch Sports. We also found out that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will be getting some pretty big DLC in the form of 48 remastered tracks that will drop in six waves through 2023. EarthBound and EarthBound Beginnings joined Switch Online, Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp got a new release date, Kirby and the Forgotten Land unveiled Mouthful Mode, and Splatoon 3 showed off its Salmon Run mode.

We only just received a major Pokemon release on Switch with Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl back in November, but another major title has now arrived with Pokemon Legends: Arceus.

While the launch of Pokemon Legends: Arceus only took place yesterday, it’s likely that a number of you picked up the game and have played a number of hours already. If you’ve played it at all, what are your thoughts thus far? Let us know in the comments below.
