Nintendo Treehouse talks amiibo support in Metroid: Samus Returns
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
Metroid: Samus Returns will have plenty of amiibo functionality. Certain amiibo can be used to unlock a new difficulty mode, artwork, and more.
Nintendo Treehouse has a new blog post up on Tumblr about the amiibo support here. It’s admittedly not exactly new, but it is a nice recap of everything in English. There are also a couple of nice views of the new Samus and Metroid amiibo in 360 degrees.

Nintendo France – more unannounced third-party games for Switch coming, mobile talk, amiibo is here to stay
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Switch | 26 Comments
We recently came across an interview French website Gamekult conducted at E3. The site caught up with Philippe Lavoué, managing director of Nintendo France. Since we felt it was interesting enough, we decided to go ahead with a full, proper translation.
In the interview, Lavoué touched on many different topics. This includes Switch and third-parties (more games are coming), mobile, and the staying power of amiibo.
We’ve posted the fully translated interview below. Just keep in mind the context of when it was conducted – specifically for questions such as a NES Classic Edition followup.

Etrian Odyssey V – Warlock class trailer
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Atlus has a new Etrian Odyssey V trailer focusing on the Warlock class. We have the video along with a brief introduction below.
There are a lot of monsters that call the Yggdrasil home. Sure, cold hard steel and explosive gunpowder can usually get the job done, but sometimes a little more “oomph” is required when dealing with these pesky beasts. Thankfully, the Celestrian’s Warlock class provides a magical spark to these engagements. And when we say spark, we actually mean ancient power that can summon raging fireballs, monstrous hailstorms, amplify other magical abilities, and more! As they level up, Warlocks can further specialize in base elemental skills (fire, ice, and lightning) or branch out to learn new elemental earth and wind spells.
