SEGA leaves the door open to Shenmue I & II on Switch
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Prior to the Tokyo Game Show last week, a fan poll was held to determine the most wanted SEGA Ages games for Switch. Jet Set Radio topped the list, but right behind it was Shenmue I & II. While both of these titles were just recently re-released on modern platforms, Switch was left out of the equation. Perhaps that could that change in the future.
4Gamer interviewed localization director Hiroji Noguchi and localization producer Eigo Kasahara around TGS. The site brought up the interest in seeing Shenmue on Switch, and neither of them shot down the possibility. In fact, bringing Shenmue to Switch is something Kasahara would like to consider.

Nintendo updates Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn listing, confirms it’ll work on all 3DS systems
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
During the last Nintendo Direct, Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn was announced. The 2010 Wii game will be making its way to 3DS sometime in 2019.
Following the presentation, Nintendo added a listing for Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn to its website. There was some concern that the port would be exclusive to New 3DS as that platform was actually listed on the official page. However, that won’t be the case after all.
Nintendo has updated the Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn listing again, which now has a general “Nintendo 3DS” platform listed. The original “New Nintendo 3DS” part has been modified, so fans can rest easy knowing that Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn will work on all 3DS systems.

Flying Tiger Entertainment bringing Heavy Burger to Switch next week
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Over the past few months, Flying Tiger Entertainment has been bringing Data East arcade games to Switch. Interestingly, for its next release, the studio appears to be doing something different.
The North American eShop is showing the new title “Heavy Burger”. Rather than porting over another one of Data East’s releases, this appears to be something that’s somewhat original. Not much is known at present as the eShop listing only has the following line: “Team battle mashup across a Retro Arcade of iconic Data East games for a super serving of Heavy Burger!”
Johnny Turbo’s Arcade: Heavy Burger is due out on October 4 for $14.99. We have some screenshots below.
