Deru: The Art of Cooperation lined up for Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 2 Comments
At Gamescom, one Switch game that was on display was Deru: The Art of Cooperation. While the event itself took place back in August, we’re only hearing about it now. Deru was tucked away at the Indie Arena at Gamescom.
Deru: The Art of Cooperation is a co-op puzzler. By handing a Joy-Con to a friend, both of you can play together.
We’ve included some information about Deru below, along with a trailer. It’s planned for release by the end of this year.
“Homebrew tool” can be used to activate NES Golf on Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Tyler(@tylerlelliott) in News, Switch | 8 Comments
As previously reported, the NES version of Golf is hidden as an easter egg within the Switch’s firmware as an apparent homage to the late Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, who was the programmer for the game. In order to unlock Golf, the Switch’s cached network time needs to be set to July 11, the day that Iwata passed away. With this in mind, many people believed they would have to wait until 2018 to unlock the game.
However, a member on NeoGaf has posted a workaround that involves changing the internal clock in a way that will keep the easter egg active in order to activate it. More information is available here.

Suda51 weighs in on possible Killer7 remake
Posted on 7 years ago by Tyler(@tylerlelliott) in GameCube, News | 10 Comments
In a recent interview with GameInformer, Goichi “Suda51” Suda discusses the game designer’s “strange approach” to development. While talking about developer Grasshopper Manufacture’s other remakes, Suda51 also considers the possibility of revisiting Killer7:
The thing about Killer7 is that, right now, it’s not easy to play that game anymore right now. That’s definitely something I’d like to maybe revisit and update.
This is not the first time Suda51 has explored the idea of remaking or remastering the game. Released in 2005, Killer7 was originally planned to be a GameCube exclusive. With the upcoming Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes scheduled to be released on the Switch in 2018, might we see older Grasshopper Manufacture games see remakes on the Nintendo console in the future?

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 253 Comments
Leading up to the launch of Switch, we often heard about how Nintendo was trying to learn from its mistakes during the Wii U era and applying that knowledge for its new console. With the system having been available for several months, Nintendo of America senior product marketing manager Bill Trinen and Nintendo of America senior VP of sales and marketing Doug Bowser reflected on this subject once again.
Trinen fist weighed in on one important aspect Nintendo addressed: the system menu. Whereas Wii U took quite a while to start up and load a game, Switch is lighting fast in comparison.
Trinen said:
