Unsung Story planned for Q4 2019
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
It’s hardly surprising, but Unsung Story is a long way off. In the game’s latest Kickstarter update, it’s revealed that the current release window is Q4 2019.
Unsung Story was funded on Kickstarter several years ago. Unfortunately, the project experienced many issues since then, which prompted Little Orbit to take over development back in August. Now that Unsung Story is in more capable hands, here’s hoping that things will be a bit smoother from here on out. Kickstarter backers are at least now receiving regular updates on progress, so that’s already a step in the right direction.
Unsung Story will be put on Switch when it’s finally done. The latest Kickstarter update about meeting with the team at Torus can be found here.

Despite Switch’s success, The Legend of Heroes and Ys developer Falcom isn’t quite ready to commit to Switch. Speaking with MCV, as published in one of the magazine’s latest issues, president Toshihiro Kondo indicated that the company is adopting more of a wait-and-see approach.
Kondo explained that “there’s still no positive guarantee that the fan base that would play Falcom games are on the Switch yet.”

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 10 Comments
NIS America was present at Switch’s launch with Disgaea 5 Complete, and released Touhou Kobuto V: Burst Battle not too long ago. The company is also readying The Longest Five Minutes and Penny Punching Princess. Going forward, we can expect this type of support to continue.
In a recent issue of MCV, NIS America president and CEO Takuro Yamashita said that Disgaea 5 Complete “did very, very well.” He believes that “the Switch market is only going to grow and become stronger” over the next couple of years. Because of this, NIS America wants to target Switch along with the PlayStation 4 and Steam as platforms it supports.

Does the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Switch Pro Controller improve the d-pad?

The Switch Pro Controller has been widely praised since launch. However, some players have taken issue with its d-pad. With the new version of the controller released alongside Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Nintendo may have made some improvements.
One difference pointed out by Reddit user Howwy23 is that the pole in the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 controller has a pole that’s longer than the old version. The old version had its own pole, but was apparently shorter.
