[Review] RPG Maker MV

Posted on 4 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments

System: Switch
Release date: September 8, 2020
Developer: Kadokawa
Publisher: NIS America

When RPG Maker Fes came out on 3DS years ago and I had the pleasure of reviewing it, I spent countless hours creating short titles as I learned the basics of game development in an intuitive fashion. Being able to not only create, but share your work with others while having a seemingly endless supply of content made it a consistently great time for those that wanted to play simple experiences on-the-go. Even better, despite its name, RPG Maker lends itself nicely other sorts of genres as well. RPG Maker MV on Switch now sees the application migrate to Nintendo’s newest platform. Despite having one less screen, the system lends itself well as a creative canvas to see video game ideas come to life with a retro aesthetic.

World of Tanks: Blitz dev would be open to an Advance Wars collaboration

Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments

World of Tanks: Blitz has seen some rather interesting collaborations. Over the years, the game has teamed up with franchises like Valkyria Chronicles and Girls und Panzer, which wasn’t exactly expected. So when we were given the chance to speak with Wargaming’s Thaine Lyman about the new Switch release, we had to ask if something like an Advance Wars collaboration could be in the cards.

Unsurprisingly, there’s nothing that’s actually in the works at present. However, Lyman did tell Nintendo Everything that Advance Wars is one of his favorite Nintendo franchises, and he’d “love to do something with that entire game universe.” He added, “The future with Nintendo is full of nothing but possibility.”

Lyman’s full words:
