Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors | 0 comments
In the past, rumors have sprung up regarding a possible The Legend of Zelda show from Netflix. Although nothing has come to fruition thus far, WGTC claims that such a project is indeed happening. The site further adds that “a movie and a TV show are both being discussed and furthermore, Netflix is eyeing Tom Holland to play the lead role of Link.”
We do have to caution, as usual, that nothing is confirmed at this time. WGTC does have a bit of a track record having shared accurate information about other films, though there have been no official announcements.

Nintendo ends production on the Nintendo 3DS family of systems
Posted on 3 years ago by Bryce(@brodee922) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
It seems that the production run for the Nintendo 3DS has come to an end. Nintendo has updated its Japanese website to include that all units of the Nintendo 3DS (including the 2DS family of systems) have stopped production.
This has been released via a message on their Japanese site that roughly translates to “the production of the main body has been discontinued.” Upon checking the listing for all the models of the 3DS and 2DS (XL, *New*, etc.) a message pops up on all of them that translates to “all have been discontinued.”
So, it seems that the production for the 3DS has truly ended. Nintendo should make an official announcement about this soon, so this story will be updated then.
The website that this information has been found at has been linked below, as well as the screenshots of the translated messages stating the end of production.

Nintendo says it wants to extend Switch’s life-cycle, exploring cutting-edge tech
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch | 0 comments
During today’s Nintendo Management Briefing Session, president Shuntaro Furukawa reiterated that Switch is currently in the middle of its life-cycle. Extending that life-cycle is an important goal for the company, which may now be possible thanks to focusing on a single hardware platform. Aside from putting all of its efforts into Switch without another system to think about, Nintendo can come up with unique proposals as well.
Furukawa also commented on R&D investment. In the past, Nintendo used to look at conventional technology that enabled a lower price and appeal to users. However, it is now exploring cutting-edge technology. Nintendo needs to balance factors such as how intuitive it is for users, battery life, and what is the most comfortable for users.
