LEGO City Undercover

LEGO City Undercover was a pretty big deal when it first appeared on Wii U close to a decade ago. It was planned as one of the system’s first major games, and was even published by Nintendo.

In a recent episode of the Bits N’ Bricks podcast, lead animator Matt Palmer and LEGO Group producer Darryl Kelley spoke in-depth about LEGO City Undercover’s creation. We also get to hear about Nintendo’s role. According to Kelley, the company was “very, very involved” – including development itself.

Below are Plamer and Kelley’s full words:

Kirby Star Allies

HAL Laboratory’s Shinya Kumazaki opened up about the making of Kirby Star Allies in a recently-released art book for the game. Kumazaki discussed when development began (planning was actually before the launch of Planet Robobot), the previous absence of Kirby side-scrollers on consoles, and more.

Nintendo Everything’s translation is below:

Dungeon Defenders: Awakened

Now that Dungeon Defenders: Awakened has released on Switch, we’re able to see how the action RPG/tower defense game holds up on the system. Check out a bunch of footage below.

As a reminder, Dungeon Defenders: Awakened is available on Switch as an eShop download. Find more details and a trailer here.

Skydrift Infinity

Last week, the action-packed arcade game Skydrift Infinity landed on Switch. We now have some footage in the video below.

Skydrift Infinity can be purchased digitally for Switch via the eShop. If you need a refresher on the title, hit up our previous coverage here.

Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition

Yesterday, Nintendo kicked off a new Multiplayer Mayhem Sale on the Switch eShop. Retailers have price-matched some of the prices. We’re highlighting GameStop in particular here as the retailer is giving an extra discount.

Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition is one example, as it’s available for $29.39 as opposed to $41.39. The same goes for Fire Emblem Warriors and Super Mario Party. With Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion, you can get it for $9.79 as opposed to $13.99. Note that this shows in your cart and not on the product page.

You can check out all of the discounts here. We’d advise being quick if you’re interested, as it’s unclear how long this will last.
