Mario Kart 8 Deluxe art points to five different Battle Mode types
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 18 Comments
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe appears to feature five different options in Battle Mode. Balloon Battle and Bob-omb Blast were previously confirmed by Nintendo directly. An image from Nintendo of Poland has since surfaced, showing what appears to be Coin Runners, Shine Thief (or Shine Runners, but unlikely if we’re getting Coin Runners), and something involving the Piranha Plant.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe launches on April 28. Nintendo will certainly have more to say about the game before then.

Aonuma says Zelda: Breath of the Wild doesn’t have an option for dual audio
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 383 Comments
A few days ago, we heard that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild might feature dual audio based on a comment from a Nintendo representative. Sadly though, producer Eiji Aonuma has confirmed himself that you won’t be able to easily change languages in the game. There is no option to simply turn on the Japanese voice acting rather than the English voices.
Aonuma told IGN Portugal:
“In the case of the Nintendo Switch, if you change the language of the system, you can change the game to Japanese, but that will change everything to Japanese. Unfortunately, it is not possible to play with English text, for example, and Japanese voices.”
Nintendo shares updated release schedule of Switch games

Does the image above look familiar? Nintendo of America tweeted out a very similar image last week, showing what’s in store for Switch in terms of games this year. A little while ago, the company published an updated infographic.
There’s a lot that’s similar, but also some changes. Mainly, Sonic Mania and LEGO City Undercover are shown for spring. The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ isn’t shown anywhere, strangely…
There are more than 80+ games currently in development for #NintendoSwitch. Here's what to expect this year, with more still to come! pic.twitter.com/j20TB6kpPE
