At first glance, Super Mario 3D All-Stars may seem like a simple collection that simply brings together Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy on Switch. It’s certainly true that the release isn’t anything like a remake, but Nintendo did more with these titles than one might think.
GameXplain took a closer look at the footage shown thus far, which reveals some enhancements. Super Mario 64, for instance, can be seen with higher resolution textures and improved texture filtering. Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy sport remastered cutscenes. Also, with Super Mario 64, has new button prompts.

Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Square Enix will finally be bringing a Kingdom Hearts game to Switch this year, but perhaps not in the way that fans had hoped. Rather than releasing one of the core past titles, we’re instead getting Melody of Memory – a rhythm action spinoff.
Unfortunately, Square Enix isn’t planning any other Kingdom Hearts games for Switch at the moment. Franchise director Tetsuya Nomura told Nintendo Enthusiast that the company considered porting other entries in the series, but found things to be technologically difficult.

Nintendo files patent for standalone Switch Joy-Con controller
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
In May 2018, Nintendo filed a patent for a standalone Switch Joy-Con, which features images of an updated controller design. It was then officially registered in April 2020.
As pointed out by VGC, the Joy-Con from the patent doesn’t have connectors to attach the controller to the Switch console. The patent describes this as a “new design”.
It’s unclear what Nintendo’s plans are for the Joy-Con patent. The company could choose to produce an actual product in the future, though only time will tell if that actually happens.
