Xeno Crisis coming to Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 2 Comments
Bitmap Bureau, the developer of 88 Heroes, recently launched a Kickstarter for Xeno Crisis. It was imagined as a new arena shooter for the SEGA Genesis with plans for release both as a physical cartridge and a downloadable ROM.
Having smashed its funding target of about $30,000, Bitmap Bureau added in a Switch stretch goal at the last minute. That has been achieved as well, so we’ll be seeing Xeno Crisis at some point in the future.
You can watch a trailer for Xeno Crisis below. More information about the project can be found on Kickstarter here.

Kimishima on 3DS, movies, sleep-tracking device still in development, more
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Switch | 44 Comments
Kyoto Shimbun published a new interview with Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishina. Kimishima talked 3DS, movies, confirmed that the sleep-tracking device is still in the works, and more.
First, when asked about Switch’s success, Kimishima said it has surpassed Nintendo’s expectations. The method of play in which the system can be carried outside despite being a home console has been accepted by people. Once again, Nintendo wants to raise its sales forecast to over 20 million units this year, exceeding the FY2017 expectation of 14 million units. If the goals for FY2017 are reached, then Kimishima thinks Nintendo can change the business flow (from the slumping Wii U), so Nintendo wants to improve this momentum.
