Pokemon CEO on Switch’s success and why it’s the right time for the franchise to appear on the system
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Pokemon CEO and president Tsunekazu Ishihara wasn’t always a believer in Switch. In fact, he told Nintendo prior to its release that it wouldn’t be successful. He felt that “in the age of the smartphone, no one would carry out a game console.”
Switch did end up becoming a success in the end having sold close to 20 million units as of Nintendo’s last fiscal year. Ishihara came to understand that “the key to a successful game is quite simple: software with absolute quality leads sales of hardware.”

Flip Grip ended up on Kickstarter this week as a way of funding the new Switch accessory. In barely any time at all, the project demolished its $42,500 goal. There are still over two weeks remaining in the campaign with around $60,000 raised thus far.
With Flip Grip, Switch owners will be able to easily play games vertically. It’ll be particularly helpful with a title like Ikaruga, which supports tate mode.
You can find Flip Grip on Kickstarter here.

Mario Tennis Aces missing the ability to adjust match length and court select
Posted on 6 years ago by Bobby in News, Switch | 0 comments
Today marks the release of Mario Tennis Aces, the next installment in the long-running Mario Tennis series. Unfortunately, however, players have discovered that there are two important options missing from the game: the ability to adjust the length of the match and to choose what court to play on.
A stage select feature is fairly common in titles like Aces, but instead, the game randomly chooses from the seven available courts without any player input. You do have the possibility to disable all stages but the one you want to play on, but it ends up being an unnecessarily tedious process.
Many hope that Nintendo will add these features, as additional characters are being planned in the coming months. Thus far, Aces has a respectable score of 77 on Metacritic, with critics praising its refined mechanics despite a rather shallow single player experience.
