Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Last month, Square Enix announced a ton of Final Fantasy games for Switch. As far as mainline titles go, we’ll be getting Final Fantasy VII, IX, X / X-2 HD Remaster, and XII: The Zodiac Age. If that wasn’t enough, Square Enix is also bringing over Chocobo’s Mystery Dungeon Every Buddy!, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition, and World of Final Fantasy Maxima. Oh, and Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition HD is alrady available on the eShop.
At the Tokyo Game Show last month, Square Enix spoke about bringing all of these Final Fantasy games to Switch (and additional platforms in general). It was mentioned that fans wanted to play them on more systems, so this was their answer to that.

NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 dev on how 2K helped improved the game, future of the series
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Saber Interactive essentially released NBA Playgrounds itself last year. But this year, the company teamed up with 2K for NBA 2K Playgrounds 2. It’s more than just a slight rebrand and publishing deal, as 2K actually provided assistance to improve the game.
After noticing that NBA Playgrounds sold one million copies, 2K wanted to get involved. Saber CEO Matthew Karch told Polygon that Saber already “had a solid game”, but 2K gave “very substantial” contributions to the project. Karch estimates that “20 percent of the improvements to the game have taken place over the last four to five months of development with those guys.”

[Interview] Golf Story dev on Wii U origins, cut ideas, and more
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Interviews, Switch | 0 comments
It was nearly a year ago that Golf Story debuted on Switch. With that in mind, we recently caught up with Sidebar Games about the well-regarded title.
We chatted with the studio’s Andrew Newey about a number of topics, including Golf Story’s Wii U origins and plans when it was in development for the older console. Newey also discussed some scrapped ideas (including DLC that never materialized), and we also had to ask about Sidebar’s next game – though he was understandably quiet on that front.

[Review] Dragon Ball FighterZ
Posted on 6 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: September 28, 2018
Developer: Arc System Works
Publisher: Bandai Namco
Arc System Works has had a long history of developing and publishing refined fighters going all the way back to the late 90’s with the original Guilty Gear, so it’s undoubtedly a match made in heaven for the studio and Dragon Ball to partner up and deliver one of the best 2D fighters in quite some time, Dragon Ball FighterZ. Having initially been released in January, I’d like to think that Dragon Ball and fighting game fans alike were consumed by it completely. It was difficult to put down as it had an intriguing story, introduced new characters like Android 21, and played and performed like a dream. Fast-forward a few months later, and now Switch owners can experience the fight for themselves with a stellar port that brings with it all the beautiful animations and accessibility with little to no sacrifice other than a missing d-pad.
