Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time game length revealed, multiple difficulty modes included
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
In an interview with Nintendo Everything, director Hiroaki Matsui spoke about how long it’ll take players to finish the game and also shared details regarding difficulty modes.
Matsui estimates that it’ll take roughly ten hours to complete on the normal difficulty level, which is known as “Samurai”. But he also teased that players “won’t be able to unlock sufficient amount of collectable items and skills with that difficulty, so I want them to play the game more and more and challenge higher difficulty levels as well.” Higher difficulty modes are included under the names “Master Samurai” and “Master of Masters”, which “require guts to play with”.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has been a success having sold over one million copies as a brand new IP. Although we don’t have a breakdown of sales by platform, there’s no question that the Switch version largely contributed to that number.
In a recent interview with Famitsu, creator Koji Igarashi revealed that Bloodstained had the biggest response on Switch. It also sold “well above our expectations” even though it came out on the console a week after other systems.
Here’s our translation of the excerpt between Famitsu and Igarashi:

Prinny 1-2: Exploded and Reloaded will be sold separately on the Switch eShop
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
NIS America will be releasing Prinny 1-2: Exploded and Reloaded on Switch in a couple of months. As the name implies, it comes with a couple of games: Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero? and Prinny 2: Dawn of Operation Panties, Dood! While NIS America is planning a physical version, things will be a bit different on the eShop.
Those who plan on picking up the Prinny games digitally will be interested to know that the two titles will be sold individually, which is helpful if you’re only interested in one of them specifically. They’re priced at $19.99 each, so you won’t necessarily be forced to spend $40.
Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero? takes up 826MB of space. Prinny 2: Dawn of Operation Panties, Dood! comes in at 1.2GB.
