Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots will have Nintendo Switch physical release in Europe, pre-orders open

Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

We have a bit of good news for those interested in picking up a physical version of Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots on Nintendo Switch.

At this point, it’s safe to say that the game is digital-only in North America, especially given that it’s only a week out. There simply aren’t any listings we’ve been able to find pointing to a physical edition. However, in Europe, Bandai Namco is actually publishing a physical copy of Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots on Nintendo Switch. This works very well since the system is region-free – those in North America and elsewhere will be able to play it on their device.

Nintendo experimented with adult Pauline in Donkey Kong Bananza

Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments

Donkey Kong Bananza introduced young Pauline into the mix, but it turns out that Nintendo originally experimented with the adult version of the character that fans were previously familiar with.

That information comes from an interview with Japanese magazine Nintendo Dream. During that discussion, producer Kenta Motokura indicated that the team wanted to feature Pauline early on, “but we could not find a way for her to fit well into the gameplay.” Later on, the character was made younger as it was more natural for her to be on DK’s back that way.

Below is our translation of the excerpt regarding adult Pauline in Donkey Kong Bananza:
