LEGO Worlds’ physical release on Switch will also include Monsters DLC
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 12 Comments
The physical version of LEGO Worlds on Switch will offer two pieces of DLC. We previously heard about the Classic Space Pack. Today, Warner Bros. confirmed that “Monsters” is the other DLC.
Here are a few details:
The Monsters Pack adds Monster Town, a peculiar place full of scary quests, terrifying creatures, haunted houses and ghastly vehicles sure to send chills down players’ spines. In Monster Town, Halloween is celebrated every day! But delinquent zombies are taking their trick-or-treating a bit too seriously. Players must use their LEGO brick building skills to repair the damage and scare away the zombies with tricks of their own.
LEGO Worlds is due out for Switch on September 5 in North America and September 8 in Europe. The Monsters DLC will begin distribution in October along with other platforms. For the digital version of LEGO Worlds, the game will be priced a bit cheaper, but the DLC will be sold separately.

Wargroove details archers, passive abilities, and reinforcements
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 3 Comments
Chucklefish published a new blog for Wargroove earlier today covering three different topics. We’re able to learn about archers, passive abilities, and reinforcements. The full details from Chucklefish’s new post can be found below.
Lately we have spent a considerable effort in balancing the game, and figuring out exactly how all the game mechanics need to work for a fun, interesting experience, while preventing the game from becoming too overwhelming. Today I’d like to talk about some of those.
First, we needed an early game ranged unit, to provide tactical coverage for your front line melee units. Units like trebuchets add a lot of tactical options to the game, but are quite expensive. To solve this, we introduced archers, which are infantry units that can shoot at range 3. One thing that makes them behave differently from trebuchets is that archers can move and attack on the same turn, whereas trebuchets can only do one of the two actions on each turn.

Capcom: Monster Hunter XX Switch version is another test to evaluate our support for Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 202 Comments
Ultra Street Fighter II was seen by Capcom as a sort of test run for the Switch – the company has said that its sales numbers would influence their future support for the platform. The game has exceeded Capcom’s expectation, selling about 450,000 copies worldwide so far. However, it seems Capcom is not quite done testing the Switch yet. During a Q&A session at their recent financial results meeting for the past quarter, someone inquired about Capcom’s future support for the Switch given Ultra Street Fighter II’s success. Here’s what Capcom had to say:
The Nintendo Switch seems to be doing very well, and we look forward to further growth in its install base. Beginning with Monster Hunter XX (Double Cross) Nintendo Switch Ver. for Japan, we are evaluating how we will support this platform in the future.

Residents of New Donk City in Super Mario Odyssey are officially known as “New Donkers”
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 20 Comments
One of the more interesting areas in Super Mario Odyssey is New Donk City. Mario finds himself in a location he has never visited previously in one of his platformer outings, that being a realistic city with humans.
Today’s Japanese Twitter update for Super Mario Odyssey confirms a neat little nugget about New Donk City. The citizens here are known as “New Donkers”, interestingly enough. This was suggested in Super Mario Odyssey’s in-game map brochure, but Nintendo officially confirms the term.
With New Donk City being a reference to New York City, that does make sense. New York City residents are often called New Yorkers after all.
