Super Mario Maker 2 teaser site open
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
It took Nintendo a couple of months, but we finally found out when Super Mario Maker 2 will be launching this week. While a June launch had been previously confirmed, a specific date was not announced. We now know that it’ll be available worldwide on June 28.
In light of this week’s news, the official website has updated. The Wii U and 3DS versions of Super Mario Maker have been pushed away, and it has now become a teaser site for Super Mario Maker 2. You can access the page here. There isn’t much to see much at present aside from a trailer and old screenshots, but the site will undoubtedly update with a bunch of content soon.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.

[Review] Cytus Alpha

System: Switch
Release date: April 25, 2019
Developer: Rayark
Publisher: Flyhigh Works
Music has always been essential in games since the beginning of time, spanning from chiptune to various forms of electronic based music with MIDIs, synths, and beyond, to the more contemporary live orchestrations. It’s no shock then that rhythm games – where the core focus is music itself – would gain popularity and only continue to grow thanks to the likes of Dance Dance Revolution and Guitar Hero. Recent hits help remind us about what makes the rhythm genre so great, not only giving us tons of great songs to play through, but introducing clever and inventive ways to play. That trend continues on Switch with Cytus Alpha – a re-imagining of one of mobile’s most enjoyable and highest grossing games.

Over on the official Japanese Fire Emblem Twitter account, Sothis from Fire Emblem: Three Houses is introduced. She’s voiced by Tomoyo Kurosawa in the Japanese version.
Sothis is a mysterious girl who appears in the hero’s dream. She saves the protagonist using her powers to remind time. After this happens, they are able to communicate as if she was in his head. However, only the protagonist can see her. Sothis lost her memories, and although she may look like a little girl, she speaks more like an old woman.
Here’s a brief clip for Sothis:
