Another look at the Switch packaging
Posted on 7 years ago by Zack in News, Switch | 6 Comments
It seems we’re not done with the early looks at the Switch, as another picture of the console has surfaced. It’s not clear if this is from the same individual who has already shown us the OS of the Switch or if this is a similarly lucky individual who just received his unit early. Regardless, we’re able to get a much better look at the instructions included on the side of the box containing the console now. Check it out below.

Gamer gets hands on Switch early, shows off OS

Update: This looks to be real. Video of the OS is below.
NeoGAF member hiphoptherobot has apparently managed to secure a Switch unit nearly two weeks before release. He claims to have been “lucky” – meaning he’s not a member of the media.
hiphoptherobot shared some photos of his find, including a new image of the Switch UI. It definitely looks legitimate, but in this day and age, you can never be too sure. We’ll keep this post updated with any additional information or images that may come in.
Thanks to Matthew M for the tip.

Super Bomberman R was created with Unity
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 15 Comments
Here’s something that may come as a bit of a surprise. On the official GDC 2017 site, Super Bomberman R is shown as one of the playable games developed with the Unity engine. Rather than going with internal tools, Konami and HexaDrive decided to use third-party technology. Fortunately we know that Switch supports Unity very well.

Update (2/16): Embed version is below:
Original (2/15): The next part of Game Informer’s month-long Zelda: Breath of the Wild coverage is now online. Another piece of the magazine’s interview with Shigeru Miyamoto and Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma is shared. For today’s snippet, the two developers talk about storytelling and what we can expect from it in Breath of the Wild. We again get to hear Aonuma tease his “trick” that he used that he had been thinking about for roughly two decades.
The interview can be watched here here. When an embed option is available, we’ll add it in here (probably tomorrow).
