At PAX this weekend, GameXplain conducted an interview with Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes director Suda51. He spoke about what we can expect from the gameplay and indie collaborations, such as the ability to play with just a single Joy-Con. Suda51 also talked about how he’s very interested in expanding the series from here on out, and Travis Strikes Again could lead to No More Heroes 3.
Below is the interview in full:

IGN has a look at The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on Switch from the PAX West demo footage. It’s still off-screen, but it’s as close as we’ve gotten to direct-feed thus far. Check out the footage below.
Batman: The Telltale Series for Switch will be the complete first season
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 11 Comments
Before Telltale Games confirmed its new releases for Switch, one of the rumors swirling around was about Batman: The Telltale Series. A number of retailers were listing Batman: The Enemy Within, which is the second season Telltale started just recently.
An Amazon listing offers clarity about what’s going on here. Rather than The Enemy Within, Switch will be getting all five episodes from the first season instead. That does make sense, since it’d be a bit odd to start off with the second season without having the context from prior episodes.

Back at Gamescom, Final Fantasy XV director Hajime Tabata seemed to hint at something relating to the game coming to Switch. Tabata has since clarified what’s actually going on at the moment.
Right now, a definitive decision has not been made. Square Enix has been experimenting with Switch to see what sort of specs the system can provide and what it’s capable. The Luminous Engine was tested, but it seems that Square Enix can’t “bring out the most of the engine” on Switch.

Original voice actor for Travis Touchdown doesn’t appear to be working on Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch, Videos | 7 Comments
If you’ve played the No More Heroes games and watched the trailer for Travis Strikes Again, you may have noticed something about Travis in particular. It seems that Robin Atkin Downes isn’t involved. Downes voiced Travis Touchdown in the first two No More Heroes games, but a different voice actor is featured in Travis Strikes Again’s debut trailer.
Technically, anything could change before launch, and it does look like Travis Strikes Again is fairly early on in development. But as things stand now, Travis has a new voice actor.

More Switch games from Nippon Ichi expected in 2018
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 16 Comments
Disgaea 5 Complete was most definitely a success for Nippon Ichi. Thanks to how the game performed, it looks like the company will be giving Switch greater support going forward.
Hideki Yasuda from Ace Research Institute filed a new report on Nippon Ichi. It’s said that Disgaea 5 Complete was a big hit. Nippon Ichi released it aiming at the domestic portable market, and shipped 30,000 units. Even more noteworthy was the 100,000 copies shipped overseas. Yasuda goes on to say that Nippon Ichi will shift their policy to multiplatform development of Switch and PlayStation 4 starting with next year’s releases. They will actively commit to Switch as a means of expanding their revenue opportunities.
NIS America has actually been more proactive on Switch than its Japanese counterpart. Aside from publishing Disgaea 5 Complete in North America and Europe, they’re also handling several upcoming games. These include Touhou Kobuto V: Burst Battle, Penny-Punching Princess, and The Longest Five Minutes.
