New Adventure Time and Ben 10 games in development, will be on a Nintendo platform
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 5 Comments
Outright Games announced this week that new games are in development based on Cartoon Network’s Adventure Time and Ben 10 franchises. No systems were mentioned, but we followed up and can now confirm that both will be available on a Nintendo platform.
Outright is keeping quiet on specific platforms. That being said, Switch does seem like a safe bet. We were told: “It is confirmed for Nintendo, we can’t just tell you at this point which platform but I am sure you can imagine which one that would be” – and with a wink emoji.
As for the upcoming titles, thus far we only have the following information:
“Focusing on creating high-quality license-based video games for the family entertainment market, Outright Games’ new titles will take characters from Cartoon Network’s popular original series Adventure Time and Ben 10 to create new experiences for fans and gamers alike. Adventure Time will feature the Land of Ooo submerged into watery chaos, where exploration, battle and even interrogation will be key skills to unplugging the mystery. Based on a brand new TV series of the beloved franchise, Ben 10 will introduce a fresh adventure in the incredible universe where some of Ben’s most infamous enemies await. Players must discover and unlock 10 alien transformations to aid Ben in saving the galaxy.”
The new Ben 10 game is slated for Q4 2017. Adventure Time is planned for early 2018.

Rain Games is making another title in the Teslagrad / World to the West universe
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Rain Games created the well-received Teslagrad on Wii U. This year, the studio also wrapped up World to the West, a title set in the same universe that should also be on the console soon.
Following up on those two games, Rain Games intends to create a third title set in the same universe. Naturally, with things in such as early state (it’s unclear if development has even started just yet), there’s nothing in the way of information for now. However, a release on Nintendo platforms is very likely given Rain Games’ previous support.

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch | 27 Comments
Le Monde published a new interview with Nintendo’s Shinya Takahashi today. Takahashi discussed Switch shortages and how the production line has now improved, possible future collaborations, how Super Mario Odyssey’s innovation will come from the use of HD Rumble, and more. Takahashi was even asked about the futures of Wave Race and 1080°.
We’ve rounded up the more notable comments from Takahashi below. Note that the responses were translated with Google, so it’s a bit rough around the edges. Still, you should be able to get a pretty decent idea as to what was said.

More Zelda books coming to the West
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in General Nintendo, News | 9 Comments
At the Zelda Masterclass panel at Japan Expo in Paris, it was revealed that more Zelda behind-the-scenes books will be making their way to the West.
First up is Hyrule Encyclopedia, which is an extensive visual guide to the world of The Legend of Zelda, containing tons of art and information about the various items, enemies, locations etc across the series. It is currently set to be released in September in France, though we’d be surprised if it wasn’t released at the same time in other countries and languages.
