Nicalis hinting at physical version of Cave Story for Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 20 Comments
Nicalis technically hasn’t announced Cave Story for Switch, but it’s pretty much safe to say that it’s happening. And judging by a new tweet from the company, a physical version could be on the way.
Nicalis tweeted a few minutes ago:
What if #CaveStory had a physical release on #NintendoSwitch? pic.twitter.com/VTFmm4QNV3

Nicalis already has two retail releases on the way to Switch in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ and Redout. It’s likely that Cave Story will be joining the lineup.

Kirby Triple Deluxe, Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Nintendo Selects now available at retailers
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
A couple of weeks ago, Nintendo made a few announcements about 3DS. This included two additions to the Nintendo Selects line: Kirby Triple Deluxe and Mario & Luigi: Dream Team.
Nintendo never actually gave a concrete date for the new Nintendo Selects, only opting for a vague “mid-February” timeframe. That being said, retailers are now selling both games. Best Buy and GameStop may have had them as early as last week, but we can confirm that Amazon only began selling them directly today.
The Nintendo Selects versions of Kirby Triple Deluxe and Mario & Luigi: Dream Team can be found at the links below:

The fourth Pokemon Global Mission for Pokemon Sun/Moon has been announced. When it begins on February 28, players will be asked to earn Battle Points from the Battle Tree.
Also, as previously mentioned, the third Pokemon Global Mission ended successfully. The final count for trades made at the Pokemon Global Trade Station came in at over 4.1 million, meaning 2,000 FC, or 4,000 FC if the game is connected to the Global Link, will be handed out. The Friend Ball and Rare Candy event distribution is planned for later this month and will be given through Serial Code on the Global Link.

Nintendo New York store will have “comfortable amount” of Switches for launch day
Posted on 7 years ago by Zack in News, Switch | 16 Comments
According to a Nintendo Ambassador at the Nintendo New York store, your best chance to get a Switch on launch day may be in the Big Apple. It seems that the store will have a healthy number of units for sale to walk-in customers who didn’t pre-order the console.
The Ambassador noted that this is a common scenario for the store, as they had NES Classic Editions for several days after the products launch. You can read the original post here.
