Nintendo on its approach to the Zelda timeline, understands fans’ appreciation for it
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 58 Comments
The Zelda timeline has always been something of great interest for fans of the series. On the other hand, Nintendo tends to be a bit timid when talking about it. Although the series has been around since the late 80’s, it wasn’t until just a few years ago that Nintendo published an official timeline in Hyrule Historia.
With the arrival of the latest Zelda game in March, fans are curious as to where Breath of the Wild officially stands. You won’t get much of a concrete answer out of Nintendo concerning timeline placement, but its developers are aware of interest from fans.

Nintendo shutting down GoldenEye 007 Wii servers in March (Japan)
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 8 Comments
Though the game had released many years ago, the online servers for GoldenEye 007 have still been up and running on Wii. At least in Japan, they’ll be going offline on March 30. The news hasn’t been confirmed for other territories as of yet, but other regions could certainly be impacted as well.
You might be wondering how the online play for GoldenEye 007 could still be running after the end of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection a few years ago. While most games for Wii and DS were affected, a few were not – including this title.

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 5 Comments
With Christmas comes many new Switch owners, and indies are reaping the benefits. SMG Studio is one such developer that has confirmed a huge increase in sales during the holidays.
On Twitter, SMG said that Death Squared’s sales are up 500% during the Christmas period. That’s despite a lack of promotion and visibility. The game isn’t on sale either.
SMG stated:
Steam sales up too but we're 25% off. And Steam sales just reach what we get daily on Switch (in the tail) but on sale so less $$$.
