Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots will have Nintendo Switch physical release in Europe, pre-orders open
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
We have a bit of good news for those interested in picking up a physical version of Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots on Nintendo Switch.
At this point, it’s safe to say that the game is digital-only in North America, especially given that it’s only a week out. There simply aren’t any listings we’ve been able to find pointing to a physical edition. However, in Europe, Bandai Namco is actually publishing a physical copy of Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots on Nintendo Switch. This works very well since the system is region-free – those in North America and elsewhere will be able to play it on their device.
Characters we’d like to see in Kirby Air Riders
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Ethan in Features, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Today, we’re going over some characters we’d like to see in the final version of Kirby Air Riders.
Kirby Air Riders recently received a big 45-minute Nintendo Direct presentation with tons of info and character reveals, including the newly-announced November 20 release date. During the presentation, game director Masahiro Sakurai commented that the game is called “Air Riders” because this time around, you can choose from multiple riders rather than just Kirby (and King Dedede and Meta Knight, who were unlockable in the original).
Right now, Kirby Air Riders has a decent-sized roster: it includes Kirby, Dedede, Meta Knight, Bandana Waddle Dee, Chef Kawasaki, Cappy, Magolor, Gooey, Waddle Doo, Knuckle Joe, Susie, and Starman. But during the Nintendo Direct, Sakurai stated that there was more information to reveal prior to the game’s launch in November. Though it’s entirely possible we’ve seen the final roster for the game, it’s also possible that there are hidden or unlockable characters.

Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian will soon be launching on Nintendo Switch, so to learn a bit more about the game and its development, we caught up with the team for an interview. General producer Junzo Hosoi and development producer Yasunori Sakuda were kind enough to answer a few of our questions.
Between the two, we’re able to hear more about the game’s visual style, alchemy system, and revisiting turn-based battles. They also fielded questions about why we’re getting this one so soon after Atelier Yumia, and we couldn’t help but ask about Nintendo Switch 2.
