Nintendo removing some small Facebook and Twitter functionality from Nintendo Accounts, discontinuing 3DS and Wii U Image Share services
Posted on 1 year ago by Nicolas in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Nintendo has announced a couple of small changes they’re making in regards to sign-in options for Nintendo Accounts. Namely, they’re removing the ability to sign in to said Nintendo accounts through a linked Facebook or Twitter account. Additionally, it will no longer be possible to earn My Nintendo points through missions that require linking a Nintendo Account to a Facebook or Twitter one.
It’s unclear what the reason for these changes is, but it ultimately shouldn’t have a huge impact, as you’ll still be able to be sign in normally using your Nintendo Account information itself. You’ll also still be able to use a linked Google or Apple account to sign in as well.

Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Each time Sonic team boss Takashi Iizuka is interviewed, it seems like Sonic Adventure is often brought up as well as the possibility of Sonic Adventure 3. That’s something Iizuka addressed once again recently.
When asked by Dot Esport what Iizuka would want to do if he had free reign to add anything he wanted to a Sonic game, he actually pointed to creating “the next Sonic Adventure game”. However, he acknowledged that a third title “would take a whole of investment from the company, a lot of development time, and a lot of game volume to really bring something to market”.

Masahiro Sakurai published a video today talking about the development of Kirby’s Adventure. This follows his previous one going over Kirby’s Dream Land.
Sakurai was actually told to make Kirby’s Dream Land for the NES, but he wanted to create something for both veterans and newcomers. That led to the copy abilities and the decision to work on a new game entirely.
