Nightdive Studios wants to remaster Nintendo games, but the Big N is “gun shy”
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Nightdive Studios has been behind some top-tier ports and remasters over the years. Most recently, the company was behind PowerSlave Exhumed on Switch. Nightdive also brought a number of other games to the platform, including Quake, Turok 1 and 2, Shadowman Remastered, and more.
Nightdive hasn’t had the chance to remaster any games from Nintendo itself, but that hasn’t stopped the company from trying. CEO Stephen Kick actually revealed on Twitter a few days ago that it has talked with the Big N about the possibility. However, Nintendo “always get gun shy working with third-party developers even after Nightdive Studios
released the first N64 games on their platform.”

It’s a great time to be a Xenoblade fan
Posted on 2 years ago by Luiz in Features, Switch, Videos | 0 comments
There’s a huge contrast between Xenoblade position as a series today and twelve years ago when it started.

Well, things are very different right now. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 was just announced and the level of popularity has increased considerably. Taking all of this into consideration, I discuss the good place that Xenoblade is in right now and why Nintendo is promoting the series so much. You can check out the video down below.
