Sonic Mania will be on Switch the same day as other platforms, won’t cost more
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 18 Comments
Sonic Mania is due out on Switch later this year. Fortunately, when it’s ready, there won’t be any compromises made to the actual release.
SEGA’s Aaron Webber told Nintendo World Report in an interview at PAX that Sonic Mania will be on Switch at the same time as other platforms. Furthermore, it will be the same price. With talk circulating about some third-party games costing more on Switch, this is certainly encouraging to hear.

Switch games can have manuals on the system, devs have to manually invoke the option
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 13 Comments
Something Switch owners have noticed about the system is that games lack manuals. This comes in contrast to Nintendo’s past, and most recently, the Wii U and 3DS.
Those two systems started to phase out physical manuals. With Switch though, they almost seem to be gone completely. Zelda: Breath of the Wild nor 1-2-Switch have manuals of any sort – not even digital ones accessed on the console.
Interestingly, Yacht Club Games’ David D’Angelo informed Kotaku that Nintendo offers an option for games to have manuals on Switch. Dvelopers must manually invoke the option though.
About Shovel Knight specifically, D’Angelo said:
“You are correct that there isn’t an instruction manual. We weren’t sure how common they would be used on Nintendo Switch. It’s possible we may add it in the future, but we chose to focus on making sure the game was done since we were rushing to make launch day! We were definitely hemming and hawing about whether to pull more all-nighters to get the manuals in there.”

Nintendo scrapped tiny people from Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 30 Comments
It’s always interesting to see game ideas that were left on the cutting room floor during development. In the case of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, director Hidemaro Fujibayashi revealed in the game’s new “making of” video series that the team scrapped something relating to characters.
Fujibayashi and the rest of the team were hoping to include “tiny people”, complete with “tiny-sized towns” and Link himself shrinking. However, “with all these other characters that stand out, we thought it would be difficult for these little guys to be able to live out their own place in the game.”
Fujibayashi’s full explanation:
