The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was featured during The Game Awards 2016 pre-show as promised. A brand new trailer debuted, and we now have it below.

You won’t want to miss it, as Nintendo will be showing an “exclusive look” at Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and we’ll be seeing something from Yacht Club Games. More on Zelda is supposedly coming during the show itself, and winners for the awards will be selected. It should be a fun night!

New 3D-printed toys-to-life game coming to 3DS and possibly Switch
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Switch | 2 Comments
Moragami, a game developer from Hungary, is giving the toys-to-life experience a shot. Currently in development for the 3DS eShop and other platforms (including Switch potentially) is Inchvilles.
Inchvilles is an upcoming 3D action platformer that has players collecting all golden gems in various stages. Players can design in-game characters with an editor, and then order a real life, 3D-printed version for a small fee that will be delivered within ten days. While NFC isn’t involved, the figures can be scanned into the game. We’re waiting on further information about how the figures interact at the moment. That being said, we do know that they can be scanned to you or your friend’s game to share them.

Earlier this week, we heard about a five-hour Switch event in New York where members of the media will go hands-on with the system. This will be taking place on January 13 – a day after the console’s proper unveiling.
Press outlets are also now receiving invitivations for an event in Paris. It goes without saying that unless you belong to a publication, you won’t be able to attend sadly.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s teaser site is now open. Access the North American page here and the European site here. Both are fairly similar.
It’s going to be awhile before the full site is open. That being said, there’s a decent amount of content already present between the official trailer, brief rundown of the game, and overview of amiibo support.
The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ ruled out for Wii U, game might be hinted at for Switch
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 14 Comments
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth launched for Wii U last summer. The situation surrounding DLC expansions has been hazy, but now we can say for sure that the new content, Afterbirth+, will not be on the eShop.
That being said, we may have another case of a developer moving things over to Switch. A new post on the official Binding of Isaac website notes that Afterbirth+ will be on “PlayStation 4, Xbox One and one more console.” Wii U and PlayStation Vita were then ruled out. Since this console isn’t mentioned by name and we know of a new one on the horizon – specifically Switch – it’s very possible that The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth and Afterbirth+ will end up on the platform.

Stardew Valley cancelled for Wii U, dev shifts plans to Switch
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U eShop | 11 Comments
ConcernedApe announced Stardew Valley for Wii U this past summer. Unfortunately, the developer has now said that it’s been canned for Nintendo’s current console.
Not all hope is lost. In the same post that details the situation surrounding Wii U, ConcernedApe also said that the team decided to “shift our development efforts to creating a version for Nintendo Switch.” It was further, “I do want to emphasize that I am absolutely committed to seeing Stardew Valley on Nintendo platforms”.
Here’s the full word from ConcernedApe:
“Stardew Valley will not be coming to the Wii U, however. Looking at Wii U and the current gaming landscape, we made the difficult choice to shift our development efforts to creating a version for Nintendo Switch. I am really looking forward to the Switch, and I believe that the Switch’s unique capabilities could create some exciting opportunities for Stardew Valley. I do want to emphasize that I am absolutely committed to seeing Stardew Valley on Nintendo platforms, and I really do appreciate your support and understanding in this.”
And the latest trailer:
