Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Rumors emerged a few years ago that Criterion was asked to make a new F-Zero game on Wii U for Nintendo. Alex Ward, the studio’s founder who left back in 2014 for his own company Three Fields Entertainment, indicated soon after that the talks weren’t serious. During last week’s episode of the Game Informer Show, he clarified the situation once and for all.
When asked about those original rumors regarding Criterion and F-Zero, Ward stated:

Why was the first-person gunfighting idea ultimately scrapped? Asymmetric says the team “just couldn’t figure out how to make it funny enough.”

GameStop says Wolfenstein: Youngblood won’t come with a cartridge
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Wolfenstein: Youngblood will be sold at retailers, but not in the way you’d expect. GameStop’s listing for the title states that a cartridge isn’t included. Instead, the box apparently contains a download code.
We don’t have any reason to doubt GameStop, but this is something Bethesda hasn’t clearly stated in the past. Those hoping for a true physical release might be out of luck here. Unless GameStop is mistaken, Bethesda won’t be selling Wolfenstein: Youngblood in cartridge form.
Thanks to JPSWITCHMANIA for the tip.

Raiden V: Director’s Cut was rated for Switch in Taiwan last month. Adding on to that, the game has received its first retailer listing.
GameFly has a page up for Raiden V: Director’s Cut showing a tentative June 30 launch. You may recall that the original rating had a potential boxart, and a physical version is further supported by this listing.
We expect Raiden V: Director’s Cut to be officially announced for Switch soon.

Yakuza series producer says Switch ports haven’t been considered for now, characters unlikely for Smash Bros.
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Last year, Yakuza producer Daisuke Sato was asked about the possibility of having the franchise appear on Switch. Sato didn’t seem too enthusiastic about the possibility at the time. Unfortunately, series producer Toshihiro Nagoshi has issued a similar sentiment, telling IGN Japan that ports haven’t been considered for now.
You also probably won’t be seeing Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majima in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Nagoshi joked around and said that director Masahiro Sakurai perhaps would not want them.
Sonic is one SEGA character you can play as in Smash Bros. SEGA also owns Atlus, and Joker from Persona 5 will soon be added to the roster as DLC as well.
