[Nintendo Everything Podcast] – episode #23 – Give Me Labo VR Metroid!
Posted on 5 years ago by Oni Dino(@Oni_Dino) in Podcast, Switch | 0 comments
Hello, you beautiful Shy Guys and Shy Girls! This week on NEP, please excuse Oni’s sick voice… BUT! The gang has several great discussions you’ll want to hear. This includes Best Buy leaking games allegedly via their website, which Galen provides some extra insight on, as he used to be a terrible employee back in the day. We then discuss Labo VR and muse over what future ways Labo could be used (Oni freaks over Metroid). We then get a little heavy as we find ourselves talking about the games industry and publishers capitalizing on the social phenomenon of FOMO.
Thank you for listening! Please help the show grow by sharing the podcast with someone you think might enjoy.
[Let’s Talk] What are you playing? – April 2019
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk | 0 comments
A new month rolled right on in this week. Now that we’re in April, we want to know what you’ve been playing.
Have you started up something entirely new for the month? Are you trying out Yoshi’s Crafted World on Switch? No matter the case, let us know in the comments below.
[Review] Yoshi’s Crafted World
Posted on 5 years ago by Campbell(@CampbellSGill) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: March 29, 2019
Developer: Good Feel
Publisher: Nintendo
Few games have put a smile on my face as much as Yoshi’s Crafted World. From its gorgeously “crafted” graphics to its adorable, friendly characters, the game is a distillation of simple joy. Even though it doesn’t do very much that’s completely new or innovative, it excels at providing an excellently-presented game that’s bursting at the seams with gameplay that anyone can enjoy.

[Review] Nelke & the Legendary Alchemists: Ateliers of the New World
Posted on 5 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: March 26, 2019
Developer: Gust
Publisher: Koei Tecmo
Nelke & the Legendary Alchemists celebrates twenty years of the prolific RPG series bringing together protagonists for every Atelier title up until Lydie & Suelle for a crossover event that sees them coming together to help Nelke expand a new town and helping them thrive once again. It’s really great to be able to see all of these fantastic characters over two decades join up and utilize all of their special skills in alchemy and craftsmanship – as well as monster slaying – as they simultaneously get to know each other and understand each other’s strengths and weaknesses while figuring out the best way to go about goods distribution and town replenishment. This is something we’ve seen in plenty of Atelier titles before as we go from city to city meeting new characters and friends along the way while having an overall goal to help those around you. Altruism has always been a big charm with it, and Nelke is no different. However, this is mostly where the similarities end as the game itself has been turned on its head and goes from an RPG the series is known for, to a banal menu management experience where you’ll ultimately just watch plants grow in between massive visual novel-like segments. Everything introduced in Nelke & the Legendary Alchemists is stuff we’ve seen millions of times in the mobile gaming spectrum, and it doesn’t do it any favors here. Even as a spinoff title it doesn’t warrant paying a premium for something that only resembles Atelier by name and art.

[Review] Blaster Master Zero 2
Posted on 5 years ago by Edan(@@Virtualboi92) in Reviews, Switch eShop | 0 comments
System: Switch (eShop)
Release date: March 20, 2019
Developer: Inti Creates
Publisher: Inti Creates
In March 2017, one week after the release of the Switch, developer Inti Creates and Sunsoft unknowingly kicked off the “Metroidvania on Switch” phenomenon by releasing Blaster Master Zero to an almost empty eShop. The game served as a modern reimagining of the much loved NES classic, and was well-received by fans and newcomers alike for adhering to the source material albeit through a more modern lens. Since then we’ve had genre defining releases like Dead Cells and The Messenger along with countless other interpretations of the formula compete for our attention. It’s fair to say that if you’re a fan of Metroidvanias, then you’ve probably been spending more time on your Switch than you’d like to admit. In the hope that lightning does indeed strike twice and to capitalize on a booming trend, Inti Creates and Sunsoft have now seen fit to grace us with a wholly original sequel, Blaster Master Zero 2.

[Let’s Talk] Your dream Nintendo x indie collaboration
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk | 0 comments
This week’s Nindies Showcase ended in a surprising way. Who could have seen a new Crypt of the NecroDancer game coming that stars The Legend of Zelda? But that’s exactly what we’re getting with Cadence of Hyrule – Crypt of the NecroDancer Featuring the Legend of Zelda (certainly a long title, isn’t it?).
Cadence of Hyrule is in many ways a landmark game. We haven’t really seen Nintendo offer up one of its IPs to an indie developer before. This sort of announcement makes you wonder what else could be possible in the future. Now that the gates have opened, what types of collaborations would you like to see between Nintendo and other indie titles in the future? What would be the game and who would be the developer? Let us know about the ideas you have in the comments below.

Posted on 5 years ago by Oni Dino(@Oni_Dino) in Podcast | 0 comments
Hello, my beautiful bokoblins! This week on NEP, we talk all about collector’s editions and how things have gotten out of hand with some publishers. Then we talk about GDC and PAX East being right around the corner and all of the potential announcements, teasers and leaks. Particularly of note is a new game in the publisher catalog of Yacht Club, the geniuses behind Shovel Knight! And Galen reminisces on his past PAX experiences throughout the show, too.

Hello, my Toy-cons and Joy-cons! This week on NEP, we discuss Nintendo Labo: VR Kit, images of Sonic from the upcoming film, Octopath Traveler for Mobile and much more. Oni is a bit jetlagged and Galen is a bit sleepy, so we talk a little crazy in this one… but we make it work!
