Switch systems apparently come with an internal NES emulator
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 24 Comments
Here’s a little something interesting that we didn’t know about Switch before. With modders now exploring the hardware, it’s been discovered that each system has an internal NES emulator. Aside from the name “flog,” that’s the only information out there.
Now, we do know that NES games will eventually be offered for Switch. Those who subscribe to Nintendo Switch Online starting in 2018 will be able to download a compilation of classic titles with added online play. Super Mario Bros. 3, Balloon Fight, and Dr. Mario will be included in the supported titles. These games should presumably be capable of being emulated right off the bat with the “flog” software installed.

Falcom president says Switch is an “extremely Nintendo-like” platform, open to developing for the system
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 47 Comments
You may know Falcom for its work on the The Legend of Heroes series. The company has also worked on the long running Ys franchise. While Falcom hasn’t done too much with Nintendo platforms and they aren’t exactly running to Switch, they are keeping an open mind when it comes to supporting the platform.
Falcom president Toshiro Kondo mentioned to USgamer that Switch is an “extremely Nintendo-like” platform. He also noted that the team isn’t working on any games for the system currently, but added: “Should someone on staff bring up an interesting idea or something, we’d be more than happy to entertain it and develop a game for Switch.”
Kondo was also asked if Switch can fill the gap left by the PlayStation Vita. He had this to say:
“I guess you’d say genre of games in Japan called Otome games which are games made for girls and right now they’re heavily concentrated on the Vita. Should those games not go to Switch, then there’s really no reason for their fans to purchase it.”

Japan’s first Splatfest for Splatoon 2 is rock vs. pop
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 10 Comments
Splatfests are back in Splatoon 2. And before the game launches later this month, fans will be able to download a demo event from the eShop to participate in the first competition.
North America and Europe have the same topic, which is cake vs. ice cream. In Japan though, it’s entirely different. Players in that country will instead be asked if they prefer rock or pop.
So which of these two topics do you prefer?
