XIII remake Switch trailer
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Videos | 0 comments
Microids has shared a Switch-specific trailer for the remake of XIII.
The remake was first announced in September 2019. It had an initial launch – and a very rough one at that – the following year, but not on Switch. Due to negative feedback, Microids went back to the drawing board and implemented fixes plus adjustments while adding online multiplayer. Tower Five, a studio brought in for the updated version, also redid the art direction, AI, and more. Switch will now be getting this updated version.
Here’s everything you need to know about XIII:

Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
With the way online gameplay works in Splatoon 3, a notification is sent if your friend starts a match. Notifications also become available in players’ in-game notification list. It’s even possible to drop in to the battle from the notification that lets them know the battle has started, making it easier to play online with friends.
In the future, notifications will be expanded outside of your friends as well. That news comes from director Shintaro Sato, who touched on update plans in a new Splatoon 3 interview.
Here’s what he shared on that front:

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle director thought people would hate the game, still nervous with Sparks of Hope
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle director Davide Soliani has spoken about the pressure faced while making the game, and actually thought that people would end up hating it. He even believed it’d be the last game he’d work on.
To be fair, when the title leaked before its official reveal, many had doubts that a crossover between the Mario and Rabbids franchises would work. Soliani told GamesIndustry that he initially saw “the worst messages” on forums, but the consensus changed once the official announcement was made.
