Ideas for the future of Xenoblade Chronicles
Posted on 4 months ago by Ethan in Features, General Nintendo, Switch | 0 comments
By all (or at least most) accounts, the Xenoblade series sort of peaked with the release of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and its DLC, Future Redeemed. The base game told a completely new story that could technically be understood without playing the prior games (but was enhanced by doing so) while also tying together the futures of the worlds from Xenoblade Chronicles and its sequel. Without going into too much detail right off the bat, Xenoblade 3’s ending is said to have wrapped up the series – or at least the Klaus trilogy. That being said, there are a few loose ends introduced in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 that weren’t fully tied up – and today, we’re going over which of these plot points we can expect to see in future games, if any at all. Do keep in mind that there are spoilers ahead.

[Let’s Talk] Indie World Showcase + Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase reactions
Posted on 4 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo fans tend to go by the company’s patterns, but every now and then, the company throws a curveball. That’s exactly what happened this week. We’re generally used to getting a Nintendo Direct before the Tokyo Game Show in September, but we instead saw a new presentation to end August. On top of that, it was shown right after an Indie World Showcase. We’re not used to seeing back to back presentations from Nintendo, but again, you can’t always predict what the Big N will do.
There were so many games between the two presentations – over forty in fact – that we can’t possibly mention them all here. For the Indie World Showcase through, a big highlight was the announcement and release of Pizza Tower. Meanwhile, the Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase featured Capcom Fighting Collection 2, Castlevania Dominus Collection, The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 1st, Atelier Yumia, Tales of Graces f Remastered, Tetris Forever, MySims: Cozy Bundle, Star Overdrive, and more.

SEGA announced Yakuza Kiwami for Switch this week, but since then, shared the news that it’s a digital-only release and there won’t be a physical version of any sort.
Yakuza is finally heading to Switch for the first time. However, digital will be your only option – even in Japan. The good news is that SEGA seems to be pricing the game appropriately, and it will only cost $20.

Posted on 4 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Following this week’s announcement of Tales of Graces f Remastered, Bandai Namco provided more information about the game – specifically frame rate, resolution, and improvements. This information comes from the official website.
First, on the tech specs specifically, Tales of Graces f Remastered is 30 frames per second on Switch with a 1080p docked / 720p portable resolution. The PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions run at 60 FPS and at a generally higher resolution, but that’s to be expected. Also as a small tidbit, 31 save slots are available (30 regular, 1 auto save – auto save is new).

[Review] Castlevania Dominus Collection
Posted on 4 months ago by Dawn in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: August 27, 2024
Developer: Konami
Publisher: Konami
Since the surprise release of Castlevania Advance Collection I’ve had the question “are we getting a port of the DS titles?” sitting in the back of my mind and surfacing to the forefront every time a Nintendo Direct aired. Of course bringing the DS titles across to the Switch wouldn’t be as simple a task, so it is perhaps understandable that it’s taken three years for Castlevania Dominus Collection to finally make it onto the system. However, now that it’s finally here, the end result is more than worth the wait.
