Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
We recently came across an interesting LinkedIn profile from a former staffer at Soleil, the developer behind Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker. We won’t name this person here in order to protect their identity, but the CV mentions two unannounced projects for Switch. The staffer served as an environment artist on one of these games, and a lead environment artist on the other title.
Soleil has ties to Valhalla Game Studios, the team behind Devil’s Third on Wii U. The company was also responsible for Devil’s Third Online aside from Naruto to Boruto. Thus far, Soleil hasn’t announced or released any Switch games.

Bandai Namco is going to be sharing a whole lot of news about Dragon Ball games very soon. During the Dragon Ball FighterZ World Tour Finals on January 26 and 27, announcements will be made pertaining to an entirely new action RPG plus existing titles. The latest issue of Weekly Jump has new teasers for all projects.
There isn’t too much information on Dragon Ball Game Project Z, which makes sense since a proper announcement is just a few days away. However, a visual shows a scene where Goku takes Gohan to Kame House.

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Mortal Kombat is known for its fatalities, but another significant aspect is the roster. Only a few characters have been confirmed for Mortal Kombat 11 thus far, but we should be learning more about who’s in leading up to the late April launch.
NetherRealm Studios creative director Ed Boon spoke with Game Informer yesterday regarding the approach to the roster. While there will be new faces, fans can look forward to returning veterans as well. Boon acknowledged that Mortal Kombat X players “were pissed when Baraka wasn’t in”.
