Happy New Year everyone!
2022 has arrived, and at this point, we are all expecting huge things from Nintendo this year – mostly because the company has a lot of games slated to release during the next 12 months.
In today’s video, I reflect on the possibility of Nintendo has already showed us everything that’s in store for Switch for the year. Would that make sense? Or perhaps Nintendo will have more to show and 2022 will be a year to remember? In any case, you can check out my thoughts on that in the video below and be sure to share yours as well.

Mario Golf: Super Rush giving NES Open Tournament Golf Mario outfit as Ranked Match reward
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
It’s a new month, and now that Mario Golf: Super Rush has reset its Ranked Match for January 2022, players can get their hands on a new reward based on Mario’s classic look in NES Open Tournament Golf.
Just like with previous events, there’s not a whole lot involved with the unlock process. Players only need to reach the rank of A- or above within the next month. This can be done by playing matches online in Ranked Match, playing well against others, and defeating higher ranked opponents. The NES Open Tournament Golf outfit can be selected once unlocked by going to the select screen in Mario Golf: Super Rush, hovering over the character, and hitting the “L” button to swap outfits.

New Pokemon Snap origins discussed, team considered changing the core concept
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Japanese magazine Famitsu previously published a developer interview for New Pokemon Snap. Two key people involved with the project participated in the discussion: Pokemon president Tsunekazu Ishihara and director Haruki Suzaki.
One of the early topics discussed is the game’s origins. At one point, Ishihara again explained that there were talks about bringing Pokemon Snap back for previous Nintendo consoles. However, the idea of taking photos isn’t as novel these days, “so it was a difficult concept to design an game around.”
Ishihara explained:

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity staff on the game’s grass, took around half of the dev time to finish

A previous issue of Japanese magazine Nintendo Dream featured an interview with some of the core staff involved in the production of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity where they spoke candidly about their experiences developing the game. The discussion included development producer Masaki Furusawa, director Ryouta Matsushita, producer Yousuke Hayashi, and art director Yuu Oohashi.
One of the team’s biggest challenges while developing the game is probably not something you’d expect – the grass. According to the staff, it took the team half of the development time to get it right and involved hundreds of people from departments all over Koei Tecmo.
Here’s our translation of that excerpt:
