Nintendo doesn’t think Switch 2 announcement will hurt Switch 1 sales, Switch 1 will be sold “as long as there’s demand”
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
We have a few more words out of Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa, who today commented on Switch 1 sales in light of Switch 2 arriving later in 2025.
Furukawa told investors that the company doesn’t believe that the recent announcement of the new console will greatly affect sales of its current system. “We don’t think the impact of reluctance to buy is that great, and although we consider this to be a solid eighth year, we were unable to reach our target,” he noted.

Super Mario Kart icons added to Nintendo Switch Online
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo Switch Online is kicking off the month with some new icons based on Super Mario Kart.
Outside of having an active subscription, in order to redeem the icons, you’ll need to boot up the classic game on the SNES app. They’ll then be unlocked. Note that there are seven character designs available and each one costs 10 Platinum Points on My Nintendo. Note that by simply booting up Super Mario Kart, you’ll be given 50 Platinum Points – so you can essentially get five of them for free.
Neptunia Riders VS Dogoos review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 1 month ago by Dawn in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: January 28, 2025
Developer: Compile Heart
Publisher: Idea Factory
Pick up any JRPG and the chances are good that one of the first enemies you’ll encounter on your adventure will be some kind of slime. The gelatinous mass of vaguely sentient ooze has been an unspoken staple of the genre since its foundation, but it is still often little more than a stepping stone on our heroes’ journey to greatness. The Neptunia series variation of this creature is the Dogoo, and it has usually served much the same role as an early game encounter that you quickly forget about. Neptunia Riders VS Dogoos puts the questionably adorable canine-based blobs in a more active role, and unfortunately the result is about what you would expect if you ran over a small blob with a motorcycle.
