Rumor: Terry Bogard release imminent as DLC page for Smash updated to “Coming Soon”; new private video added to Youtube channel
Posted on 5 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in Rumors, Switch | 0 comments
It’s possible that the Terry Bogard DLC for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is going to happen quite soon. The official DLC page for the game, which lists the fighters appearing in the Fighters Pass, has recently been updated to describe Terry as “Coming Soon” – the previous description said “November 2019”. Furthermore, a new private video has recently been added to the official Smash Bros. Youtube channel, which might be a trailer or gameplay reveal video for Terry Bogard.
This isn’t official yet, so we’re marking it as a rumor, but all signs point to a release of Terry either this week or next week.

Posted on 5 years ago by Devin(@Sonicb00m111) in Rumors, Switch | 0 comments
Following tonight’s League of Legends 10th Anniversary Event and presentation, multiple job listings have been spotted on the website of developer Riot Games that reference the Nintendo Switch.
While there is no confirmation that any projects are currently in development for Switch involving Riot Games, the developer did mention during tonight’s broadcast that League of Legends: Wild Rift — a console-friendly version of League of Legends — will be coming to unspecified consoles in 2020.
While most of the Nintendo Switch references are included on unspecified job listings, two are for League of Legends: Wild Rift. While the others do not mention game titles, Riot Games also announced a new fighting game, FPS, mobile card game, and an esports team management simulator tonight as well.
However, it is important to keep in mind that these listings do not confirm that projects are in development. The job listings can be checked out below.

Nintendo was reportedly aggressive in trying to lower Switch Lite price to $200
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 0 comments
The Switch Lite is significantly cheaper than the original system. This new version costs $200, whereas the main launch device is still set at $300. It was all very calculated, as Nintendo “wanted to make it cheaper for a bigger impact and to make sure it will be a big hit in the U.S.,” according to The Wall Street Journal’s Takashi Mochizuki.

Rumor: Sailor Moon Easter egg in Punch-Out!! for Wii cost Nintendo and Next Level Games millions
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii | 0 comments
During Piston Hondo’s rematch fight in Punch-Out!! on Wii, the character is shown reading manga. While it can’t be seen very well, believe it or not, early copies of the game actually included images from Sailor Moon. That seemingly innocent Easter egg apparently resulted in a messy situation for developer Next Level Games and Nintendo.
Shesez, known for his Boundary Break YouTube series, mentions that the game’s art director ultimately signed off on the idea despite initial reservations. Because of its release also being so close, the Sailor Moon Easter egg was left in. Removing it may have caused a delay.

Rumor: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Challenger Pack 4 will feature SNK
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 0 comments
Update (9/2): Nintendo has now removed the DLC page from its website. Some fans have also since been debating how much we should take the listing and the SNK copyright information at face value, but we’ll just have to wait and see when the official announcement is made.
Original (9/1): Super Smash Bros. Ultimate still has a couple of DLC characters left to reveal. Although Nintendo hasn’t officially shared their identities, we may have a clue about whats planned for the future.
Over on Nintendo UK’s page for Smash Bros. Ultimate, SNK is mentioned as part of the copyright information for Challenger Pack 4. This would suggest that the fourth DLC release will feature a representative from Samurai Shodown, King of Fighters, or another one of SNK’s IPs. Either that’s happening, or it’s some sort of error.
We’ll keep you posted if we hear anything else regarding Smash Bros. Ultimate’s future DLC.

Rumor: Amazon Mexico lists Luigi’s Mansion 3 for October 4
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo has yet to give Luigi’s Mansion 3 a proper release date. Aside from confirming a 2019 launch, the company hasn’t said when exactly we can expect the Switch game.
Amazon Mexico may have some insight. According to the retailer, Luigi’s Mansion 3 is on track for October 4.
We’re generally wary of posting unconfirmed retailer release dates, but there could be something to Amazon Mexico’s listing. For one thing, the site previously leaked South Pack: The Fractured But Whole and RPG Maker MV for Switch. October 4 is also a Friday, so it’s a realistic date. We would still advise maintaining some skepticism, but it’ll be interesting to see if this pans out.
