[Let’s Talk] Did you pick up the Switch OLED?
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch | 0 comments
The Switch OLED finally launched around the world yesterday. It’s not quite the “Pro” model that some hoped it would be, but it does have a number of upgrades. The obvious attraction is the new OLED screen that’s a tad bigger. Other than that, it has an updated dock with an ethernet port, new kickstand, 64GB of internal memory, and enhanced audio.
Did you manage to pick up a Switch OLED? If not, are you planning on buying one in the future, or are you happy with your current system? Let us know in the comments below.
Why we love Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Posted on 3 years ago by Luiz in Features, Videos | 0 comments
There’s another video up on Nintendo Everything’s YouTube channel!
After three years, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is finally complete. The game is very unique and probably the most ambitious crossover in the history of gaming, or perhaps the most well-executed. We received characters from different games, companies, and countries. An event like that may never happen again.
Today’s video is a reflection of Smash on the past three years, discussing why some people love the game so much and why it’s so special. Give it a look below.

Another video is up o Nintendo Everything’s YouTube channel!
We are only a few days away from the launch of Metroid Dread. It’s been a long time since we saw a new, original, 2D game in the series. Right now, expectations are at the highest point so far. Nintendo has shown a lot of the game and everything is looking encouraging. I decided to take a closer look at the information we have, analyzing what elements Dread is borrowing from previous games, and how it is trying to create the best Metroid experience possible.
Check out my conclusions in the video below.

A ton of notable games have made their way to Switch over the past few weeks.

We’ve even had shadowdrops with the likes of Castlevania Advance Collection.
So what have you been playing as of late? No matter the case, let us know in the comments below.
Can Nintendo’s Switch lineup in 2022 beat 2017?
Posted on 3 years ago by Luiz in Features, Switch, Videos | 0 comments
There’s a new video in Nintendo Everything’s channel!
Hi everyone! My name is Luiz Estrella and I will be producing content for Nintendo Everything. I hope that you guys like it!
Have you noticed that Nintendo’s 2022 lineup is showing a lot of potential? In the last Direct, we had a good look at what’s planned for next year, with big reveals like Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Bayonetta 3. Those announcements add up to a list that was already pretty good with games like Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 and Splatoon 3. Reflecting on that, I was wondering if 2022 can beat one of the best years in gaming in recent memory: 2017. That’s no easy task, but we have a good amount of evidence to believe that it could be possible.
Check out the video below to see my take on that topic.
[Review] Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania
Posted on 3 years ago by Nicholas Serpa in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: October 5, 2021
Developer: SEGA
Publisher: SEGA
I experienced a wide range of conflicting emotions while playing Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania. I often caught myself laughing, usually after successfully guiding my expressive, energetic monkey across a particularly gauntlet-esque stage with only seconds to spare. Just as often I found myself sighing or yelling “nonononoooo,” typically as my encapsulated simian plummeted off a platform to its doom… again. But no matter how well I was doing (or not) at playing Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania, I was almost always having a wonderful time – and considering that this remaster contains stages and minigames from three of what may be the best games in the franchise, I expect I’ll be doing so for a long time.

[Review] Hot Wheels Unleashed
Posted on 3 years ago by Nicholas Serpa in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: September 30, 2021
Developer: Milestone
Publisher: Milestone
There was a time when games based on popular toys were a dime a dozen; it used to be impossible to walk into the video games section of your local supercenter without seeing shelves filled with licensed games, many of middling quality. That’s not really the case today, as many of the smaller studios that previously produced those types of games have since shut down, been absorbed, or are now producing mobile games instead. So, I was pleasantly surprised not only that Milestone announced Hot Wheels Unleashed in 2021 as a major new release for the franchise, but also that the game had potential to be of higher quality and creativity than previous games. In fact, Hot Wheels Unleashed feels like a game built primarily for today’s adults who grew up with Hot Wheels years (decades?) ago rather than kids – a bold choice. But does Hot Wheels Unleashed manage to be a good game underneath its many layers of die-cast nostalgia?

[Review] Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot + A New Power Awakens Set
Posted on 3 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: September 24, 2021
Developer: CyberConnect2
Publisher: Bandai Namco
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot again has Goku and co.’s adventures and sagas represented, but this time in a much different format that hasn’t felt this fresh and exciting in a long while. Having put almost 100 hours when it initially released at the beginning of 2020, the semi open-world take felt like a modern day Legacy of Goku mixed with the design philosophy of One Piece: World Seeker, but done so in a way that still retained the essence of the IP and left no shortage of fights for the player to enjoy and reach higher power levels with. The Switch version undoubtedly sees a few technical downgrades compared to other platforms, and it was a bit jarring at first, but after having settled with the game for quite some time now, it’s arguably Bandai Namco’s most competent Dragon Ball port yet, making for a really great DBZ experience that can now be played at home or on the go.
