No central hub world in Super Mario Odyssey
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 26 Comments
Super Mario Odyssey follows the same style as Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine by featuring sandbox gameplay. However, the Switch title will set itself apart in one notable way.
When Nintendo live streamed from Gamescom earlier this week with producer Yoshiaki Koizumi, it was briefly mentioned that no hub world is included in Super Mario Odyssey. Although some may have assumed that a hub world wouldn’t be included, this is the first time Nintendo has confirmed it directly.

Steep still lined up for Switch, according to Ubisoft dev
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 7 Comments
Steep was one of the first games confirmed for Switch. Way back in January, Ubisoft announced plans to bring it over to the console along with a slate of additional titles. But we really haven’t heard much since then, aside from speculation here and there regarding its status.
Despite the silence, Steep is apparently still happening on Switch. Ubisoft is said to be working on the game’s frame rate, and it’s in the optimization phase. We just have to hope that it won’t be terribly long until Steep is ready to appear on Switch.

Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 producer says no plans for a Switch version currently
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 100 Comments
Capcom brought the original Mega Man Legacy Collection to 3DS. But as things stand now, the sequel won’t be on any platform – be it 3DS or Switch.
Fans have at least been hoping that Capcom would port Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 to Switch. However, in an interview with TechnoBuffalo, producer Kazuhiro Tsuchiya directly stated that there are currently no plans.
The only sort of small hint we’ve seen about Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 on a Nintendo platform came about earlier this month. It was discovered that the game’s code contained several references to 3DS. It’s possible that Capcom is thinking about bringing the compilation to Nintendo’s portable, or was considering it at one point before scrapping those plans.
