Game Freak on why Pokemon Gray never happened, still interested in remakes
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, General Nintendo, News | 57 Comments
Following Pokemon Black and Pokemon White, Game Freak created a sequel to the two games. At the time, that was a bit surprising. Many fans were anticipating that Game Freak would make a third version as opposed to Black/White 2.
In this month’s issue of Game Informer, Game Freak co-founder Junichi Masuda explained the studio’s mindset at the time. Many staff members were interested in expanding on the original story, and they thought about creating “a game that was set a couple years after Black and White wrapped up to kind of show how things changed and expand on the events of the previous one”.

Hidetaka Suehiro – otherwise known as Swery – has created cult classics like Deadly Premonition and D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die. At his new studio White Owls, he’s officially unveiled his next game at PAX West today called The Good Life.
The Good Life is said to be a “debt repayment life simulation RPG”. You’ll play as Naomi, a photographer from New York who has found herself in debt after a scandal. Once she accepts a new job, Naomi moves to a rural English town that has a strange secret. People become cats at night, and it will be your job to find out why that’s happening.

Batman: The Telltale Series for Switch will be the complete first season
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 11 Comments
Before Telltale Games confirmed its new releases for Switch, one of the rumors swirling around was about Batman: The Telltale Series. A number of retailers were listing Batman: The Enemy Within, which is the second season Telltale started just recently.
An Amazon listing offers clarity about what’s going on here. Rather than The Enemy Within, Switch will be getting all five episodes from the first season instead. That does make sense, since it’d be a bit odd to start off with the second season without having the context from prior episodes.

Final Fantasy XV director says nothing has been decided with Switch, looking into the system
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 106 Comments
Back at Gamescom, Final Fantasy XV director Hajime Tabata seemed to hint at something relating to the game coming to Switch. Tabata has since clarified what’s actually going on at the moment.
Right now, a definitive decision has not been made. Square Enix has been experimenting with Switch to see what sort of specs the system can provide and what it’s capable. The Luminous Engine was tested, but it seems that Square Enix can’t “bring out the most of the engine” on Switch.
