Fruitbus preview: a comedy food truck adventure I didn’t know I wanted
Posted on 4 months ago by Nicholas Serpa in Switch | 0 comments
As much as I enjoy cooking in real life, cooking in video games often is either so simple (i.e. combining ingredients in a menu) or so complex (i.e. Cooking Simulator) that it can struggle to truly feel fun. Maybe that’s why it was so easy for me to fall in love with Fruitbus, an upcoming first person adventure game that tasks the player with running a food truck business in a playful world. I had a blast demoing the game, and I can’t wait to spend more time exploring the game’s tropical paradise, hunting for exotic ingredients, and cooking up a storm for the locals.

Nintendo artist talks about working on Super Mario Bros. Wonder, a dream come true
Posted on 4 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
A little while back, an interesting piece went up on Nintendo’s recruitment website from Taku Ito, who worked on art for Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Ito discussed what it was like creating different images for the game, and more specifically, concepts for the boxart (which also acts as the key art).
Being able to work on the game sounds like it was a dream come true for Ito as someone who’s loved the series since he was a child. Still, that doesn’t mean it was easy. Ito said it was a challenge to highlight the elements of “adventuring in a mysterious world, while also mixing with the charm of the traditional side-scrolling gameplay.”

Even though there’s a massive Nintendo Direct coming in less than a week for Switch 2, a separate presentation took place a dew days ago for Switch 1 games. We’re interested in knowing how you felt about the event.
From Nintendo, the company had a couple of new game announcements. Rhythm Heaven Groove and Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream were unveiled, but interestingly enough, both are coming in 2025. We also got our best look at Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, which is still planned for 2025.
Third-parties showed up with several announcements of their own. Bandai Namco brought several games to the presentation with Patapon 1 + 2 Replay, Everybody’s Golf: Hot Shots, Tamagotchi Plaza, and Shadow Labyrinth. Other notable games include MARVEL Cosmic Invasion, Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army, Witchbrook, and No Sleep For Kaname Date – From AI: The Somnium Files. Catch up on all of the announcements here.

Switch 2 is the perfect time to bring back Nintendo Selects – here’s why
Posted on 4 months ago by Ethan in Features, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
With Nintendo Switch 2’s big presentation not too far from now, we’re on the verge of a brand-new console generation. And this one is confirmed to have backwards compatibility with existing Nintendo Switch games, which means there will be a huge library of games to play on the new system immediately – even if they’re not all new. We’d expect sales for standard Nintendo Switch software would start to fall off after a few years of the Switch 2 being out. This means it would be an absolutely perfect time to bring back the Nintendo Selects line, which we saw on 3DS and Wii U for several first-party titles.
