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.

Nintendo reveals the top three ARMS characters with highest win rates
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 11 Comments
Yesterday, Nintendo revealed the most-used characters in ARMS starting with version 2.1. A brief follow-up report was shared since then regarding fighters with the highest winning percentages.
In first place is Twintelle. Ribbon Girl is in second, followed by Min Min in third. Indeed: all three are female fighters.
Nintendo also hinted that Max Brass was in last place. As the game’s newest playable character, maybe that isn’t entirely surprising.
続いて『勝率１位』を大発表！
第１位は…ツインテーラ！次いで２位リボンガール、３位ミェンミェン！女性ファイターで占められるというワーオな結果でした！…アレッ、会長何位ですか…？……ええっ会長、ビ…？いやいやいや続報を待て！ pic.twitter.com/102xIylRYB

At the Nintendo World Championships qualifiers last weekend, attendees at Best Buy were given a flyer containing pre-order news about Super Mario Odyssey. The page stated that pre-orders placed between August 18 and September 23 would come with a collectible coin.
Thankfully, Best Buy has confirmed that the offer will apply to previous reservations that were placed. A store representative on the official Best Buy forums said that the coin should be applied “retroactively added prior to release, so there should be no reason to cancel and replace your pre-order.”

Sonic Mania doing well in the UK so far
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 9 Comments
Sonic Mania didn’t appear on the UK charts. There’s a good reason for that, however. As it technically counts as a digital title, it can’t be counted in the boxed charts.
The good news is that Sonic Mania is doing just fine so far. GamesIndustry reports that, after speaking with SEGA, “if digital downloads were included then its game would have topped the charts by a large margin.”
SEGA may provide sales figures down the road. On Switch at least, Sonic Mania has been topping the eShop charts. It’s held steady at the number one position since launch.
