Rumor: German retailer lists Assassin’s Creed Compilation for Switch
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 0 comments
German retailer MediaMarkt has listed Assassin’s Creed Compilation for Switch as well as other platforms. The page includes a tentative March 29 release date. No further information is provided, including which titles would potentially be included.
Unlike retailers that have a reputation for accuracy such as Amazon or GameFly, we can’t be certain that the Assassin’s Creed Compilation listing is spot on. For now, we advise taking it with a grain of salt. If Ubisoft makes any announcements in the future, we’ll be sure to let you know.

Katamari Damacy Reroll will only be available digitally in Europe
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Katamari Damacy Reroll will only be released on Switch digitally in Europe, Bandai Namco recently confirmed to Nintendo Everything. That means a physical version will not be offered in the region and it will only be sold on the eShop.
In North America, the situation is slightly different. Katamari Damacy Reroll will be sold physically, but only at one retailer. GameStop has the exclusivity on that one.
Japan seems to be where Katamari Damacy Reroll is receiving the best treatment. It will be sold at most retailers without any exclusivity, and digital will still be an option.

Rad Rodgers all but confirmed for Switch with new retailer listing
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Rad Rodgers for Switch might be one of THQ Nordic’s worst-kept secrets right now. A number of signs have pointed to its release over the past few months, including listings on GameFly and the ESRB.
Adding to that is another listing, this time coming from Amazon Canada. The retailer even shows the game’s boxart. Based on Amazon’s accurate history as well as the packaging image (not to mention GameFly and ESRB’s listings), it’s pretty much safe to assume at this point that Rad Rodgers will be coming to Switch. It’s just a matter of when, and when THQ Nordic will make an announcement.

Rumor: Nintendo wants a Zelda game on Switch every year
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo shipped Zelda: Breath of the Wild for Switch’s launch in 2017. Hyrule Warriors, another Zelda-themed title, was added to the system’s library earlier this year. This streak may continue in the future, as Eurogamer claims that “Nintendo is keen to have a Zelda game launch on Switch every year.”
The company has many possibilities at its disposal going forward. Last weekend, Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma seemingly teased Skyward Sword for Switch. Nintendo could also bring over the Wii U versions of Twilight Princess and Wind Waker. There also hasn’t been a new 2D Zelda in awhile, and we’re bound to get another 3D entry at some point – just not next year.
Meanwhile, a lot has been made about a recent comment from Game Informer editor Imran Khan who said on a podcast that “the next Zelda will probably be sooner than we think.”
Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Nintendo says you’ll see a few cutscenes in Smash Bros. Ultimate: World of Light, but more about loot grind and getting Spirits
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
When Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai announced the World of Light mode for the game, he made it clear that it’s not quite like Subspace Emissary from Brawl. But after showing the intro, some fans might have unrealistic expectations as to how many cutscenes will be present. Nintendo Treehouse’s JC Rodrigo recently clarified to Game Informer that there will be a few cutscenes, “but it’s really more on focusing on the loot grind, and that flow of getting Spirits.”
Rodrigo stated the following about World of Light:
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will give you Partner Pikachu/Eevee Spirits with Pokemon: Let’s Go save data
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will give out a small bonus if you own Pokemon: Let’s Go. If you have Pikachu save data, you’ll be provided with the Partner Pikachu Spirit. Eevee save data will net you the Partner Eevee Spirit.
Fortunately, both can be accessed normally as well. Complete challenges and they’ll be yours, even without save data.
