Rumor: Nintendo requested that Walmart cancel all Super NES Classic Edition pre-orders
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors, Switch | 42 Comments
It was nearly a week ago that Walmart took pre-orders for the Super NES Classic – or so we thought. The retailer ended up pulling the plug on reservations a few days ago.
In an email sent to customers, Walmart said that pre-orders went up “due to a technical glitch”. That’s fine and all, but those who thought they were lucky enough to score the system were dissatisfied that their orders were cancelled.

Video: Master Class – The Art of the Legend of Zelda Series – Japan Expo 2017 (full panel)
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in General Nintendo, Videos | 2 Comments
Nintendo of France has uploaded a video of the full Master Class – The Art of the Legend of Zelda Series panel from Japan Expo to Youtube. Eiji Aonuma (producer), Eiji Nakano (illustrator) and Satoru Takizawa (art director) talked about what it was like creating the art of Breath of the Wild and several other Zelda games. Note that the panel was held in French (and Japanese), so you’ll have to understand either of those two languages to get the full experience out of this.

Persona Q 2 rumored, domain name now exists on Atlus’ nameservers
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 72 Comments
A sequel to Persona Q could very well be on the way. Discovered today, the domain name pq2.jp is now on the nameservers Atlus uses for their websites. When you visit the URL, it redirects to the Persona Channel website.
A concert for the Persona franchise will be taking place on August 2. It’s thought that Atlus could announce new projects at around that time, which could include Persona Q.
Assuming Persona Q 2 is real, we’re unsure of platforms at this time. The original did come to 3DS though, so it would make sense to have the sequel there as well. A Switch version would also certainly be nice.
