Aonuma goes in-depth on Zelda: Breath of the Wild, franchise in general in huge interview
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch, Wii U | 0 comments
If you’re looking for some good Zelda reading material, you may want to read up on a new interview published by Denfaminicogamer. The site shared a huge discussion conducted between series producer Eiji Aonuma and Square Enix’s Jin Fujisawa, who has been overseeing the Dragon Quest series. Much of the talk is about Zelda: Breath of the Wild and the franchise in general. I don’t think we could even begin to do the interview justice by posting a summary or excerpts here, so read up on the full interview on this page if you’re interested.
The Mummy Demastered also planned for Wii U at retail, could get physical release on Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 4 Comments
Universal Brand Development and WayForward revealed The Mummy Demastered yesterday. Oddly, even though Switch was the only announced Nintendo platform, it appears to be slated for Wii U as well.
WayForward told one fan on Twitter that The Mummy Demastered will be distributed as a retail release on Wii U. Switch could also get a physical version, but that’s yet to be confirmed. WayForward will share more news in the future.
There's a physical US for Wii U, PS4 and PSVita. However we are in talks for retail release on the Switch. Will announce when we know more

Pokemon Ultra Sun / Ultra Moon replaces Wii U with Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Switch, Wii U | 21 Comments
In the original Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon games, a Wii U could be found in the player’s room at the beginning of the game. With Pokemon Ultra Sun / Ultra Moon, it’s been replaced. Wii U is gone, and Switch has taken its place. Since Switch is Nintendo’s focus now, the change does make sense.
