The Ninja Gaiden series has been relatively dormant for almost a decade. After Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge launched in 2012, Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja haven’t done much with the franchise.
Fortunately for fans, the IP is now making a bit of a comeback. Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection is set to appear on new platforms, containing three main games: Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge.
[Review] Balan Wonderworld

System: Switch
Release date: March 26, 2021
Developer: Arzest / Balan Company
Publisher: Square Enix
When Square Enix revealed Balan Wonderworld to the world in 2020, I immediately felt that fans of 3D platformers would soon be experiencing something special. Not only did the game’s trailers exude a bold sense of style and charisma that felt genuinely endearing, but the game was also being helmed the creator of the Sonic the Hedgehog and Nights franchises. I was sold on the concept before I had even seen any gameplay – after all, with such an industry heavyweight leading the game’s development, what could possibly go wrong?

Immortals Fenyx Rising dev on Zelda: Breath of the Wild comparisons
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Immortals Fenyx Rising have their fair share of similarities, which fans have been quick to point out. They’re both open-world action-adventure games, have mechanics like climbing and gliding, and offer mini dungeons with puzzles. Immorals Fenyx Rising does look to set itself apart by focusing on Greek mythology, a fully customizable character and more, but Ubisoft doesn’t view the Zelda comparisons as a negative thing.
Immortals Fenyx Rising associate director Julien Galloudec told Nintendo Everything that Breath of the Wild is one of the games Ubisoft looked at, especially when it came to puzzles. He also pointed out Jak & Daxter and Banjo-Kazooie as other titles the team explored.

Summer Game Fest 2021 announced for June

Following the cancellation of E3 last year in light of the coronavirus pandemic, The Game Awards creator Geoff Keighly stepped forward and held Summer Game Fest as one way of replacing the show. It’s now set to return for a second year.
Unlike in 2020, it sounds like Summer Game Fest will be held only in June this time around. That change appears to be a direct response to criticism that last year’s event was too long having taken place over multiple months.
