Nintendo eShop

If you’re interested in buying a Nintendo game digitally, you have a couple of different options. The primary way is by making a purchase directly from the eShop, though retailers have been selling codes to redeem titles as well. However, in Europe, Nintendo will longer be offering these codes through retailers.

Nintendo said in a statement to Nintendo Life:


Nintendo Switch

During Nintendo’s 80th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, president Shuntaro Furukawa commented on the system’s success. He explained that the Switch Lite’s release played a big role. Additionally, Nintendo is able to focus all development efforts on a single platform rather than two at once. Right now, Nintendo is looking at extending the Switch’s life cycle.

Director and senior executive officer Ko Shioda also noted that Nintendo focuses on fun experiences instead of the technical power of the console. He said that the number of families playing together on Switch reaffirms the value of having a dedicated gaming console.

Super Nintendo World

Super Nintendo World isn’t opening this summer as originally planned. Universal Studios and Nintendo originally hoped to have everything ready in time for the 2020 Olympics, but it simply wasn’t possible due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Universal Studios Japan provided an update today, officially confirming that Super Nintendo World will not open this summer – which is hardly surprising. The theme park could debut this fall, though Nikkei reports it could be pushed back to 2021 depending on what takes place with coronavirus infections going forward.

Variety is reporting that Disco Elysium is being turned into its own television series. Production company dj2 Entertainment will develop the show, which is based on the game – which will soon be on Switch.

dj2 CEO and founder Dmitri M. Johnson, who was a co-producer on the Sonic the Hedgehog movie, said of the news: “Disco Elysium is a phenomenal property with an expansive world and unlimited potential. The dj2 team is truly thrilled about this extraordinary opportunity to be part of it all.”

As the project is in early development, no writer is attached to the Disco Elysium TV series at the moment. There’s also no word yet on which network or streaming service will be picking it up. dj2 is meeting writers so that it can pitch the property later this year.
