Back in the day, Nintendo was planning a new F-Zero game for the Virtual Boy known as Zero Racers. Although the game never released, it was apparently finished.
That news comes from former Nintendo of America staffer Jim Wornell, who worked on the project as the localizer. Wornell handled the game’s text, boxart, manual, and testing.
Did You Know Gaming has Wornell mentioning the following:
Publisher JanduSoft has announced that Retro Pixel Racers will be coming to Switch eShop on March 10. A top-down arcade style racing game inspired by 16-bit titles, the game was developed by Josep Monzonis Hernandez as a solo project, and was originally released on Steam in May 2019.

Some new content has landed for Dragalia Lost, including a new Invasion Event and a Gala Dragalia. Check out the full details below:

Following its announcement last October, it’s been confirmed that Tokyo Game Show 2022 will indeed have a physical presence when it takes place later this year. This new comes to us today from the event organizers, the Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association.
TGS 2022 was announced last year only a few weeks after TGS 2021. That event had also been a hybrid, with both physical events and online presentations taking place during the show. TGS 2022 seems to be more of the same, putting a greater emphasis on physical booths and exhibitions while maintaining a strong online presence.
It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. This week, there’s more flip flopping between the top games, with Dragon Quest X Offline now taking over as the number one Switch title.
Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between February 10 and February 16.
Despite it being a weekend, a pretty big Nintendo-related presentation took place today. Pokemon Presents is something we’ve seen previously, but it made a return again for Pokemon Day.
It goes without saying that Pokemon Scarlet / Violet was the biggest announcement of the show, closing out the presentation. Gen 9 is here, and it’s bringing along an open-world with it. We also got a new update for Pokemon Legends: Arceus, Shaymin’s appearance in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond / Shining Pearl, Alola Pokemon for Pokemon GO, and more. You can catch up on all of the news here.
What are your thoughts on the Pokemon Presents video that aired earlier today? How do you feel about Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet thus far? Let us know in the comments below.
Should Nintendo ever use dual screens again?
This may sound like a strange question, but after looking back on Nintendo consoles in the recent past, we know that the concept was used three times. Switch then represented the end of that trend, but could the idea could come back in the future?
In today’s video, I discuss the pros and cons of dual screen gameplay and, in the process, try to figure out if it is an idea that Nintendo should revisit in the future. You can check out the video down below.
