In a recent interview with Japanese magazine Famitsu, the developers of Pokemon Unite spoke about how the game’s roster was decided.
The franchise spans almost 1,000 creatures. But with Unite, the team went with a small, curated selection.
When asked how the team went about choosing the roster for Pokemon Unite, producer Masaaki Hoshino explained:
Switch is really the first time that Falcom games have had a major presence on a Nintendo platform. Over the past few years, the Ys and Legend of Heroes series have found a new home on the console.
While Falcom largely missed out on previously Nintendo systems, president Toshihiro Kondo says that it’s not due to a poor relationship. He reiterated with in an interview with Denfaminicogamer that it all comes down to the amount of available resources. That’s why the company has partnered with Nippon Ichi Software and Clouded Leopard Entertainment to assist with ports.
Nintendo and Intelligent Systems have announced a New Heroes & Ascended Fjorm summoning event for Fire Emblem Heroes.
Characters from Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem and Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem will be appear, including Wolf: Coyote’s Loyal, Malice: Deft Sellsword, and Roshea: Coyote’s Faithful. If that wasn’t enough, we’ll be seeing a new Hero type, the Ascended Hero. Fjorm: Ice Ascendant has grasped a new power and will be featured. Finally, a new story chapter is being added as well.
Atlus is back with another demon trailer for Shin Megami Tensei V, and we now have a look at Camael. This is a creature that has actually had limited appearances in the series, though it did pop up in titles like Shin Megami Tensei II and Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon.
Thanks to the Megami Tensei Wiki, we have a little background information on Camael. Read more about him below.
It’s crazy to think about, but after nearly two decades, we’ve finally seen a brand new, original 2D Metroid. After skipping several of its other systems, Nintendo finally felt the time was right to create Metroid Dread for Switch.
It’s been about a week since Metroid Dread came out. Given that it’s not a massively long experience, we imagine that many of you have already completed the game or are at least pretty far along.
For those that have been playing through Metroid Dread, what are your thoughts on the game? Did it live up to your expectations? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below.
Gameplay is in for Mon Amour, Onion Games’ insta-death kissing-action title. Earlier in the week, the title was published on Switch.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game:
Note: we’ve updated this post with a video version of our Metroid Dread review – check it out below.
System: Switch
Release date: October 8, 2021
Developer: MercurySteam / Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo
Metroid Dread still feels a little surreal. The shock of a new, original 2D Metroid was palpable when Dread was announced, but the more one thinks about it, the more amazing it seems. It’s the realization of a 15 year old concept that has gone through multiple cycles of early development and dormancy. It’s the first original 2D Metroid in almost two decades, a span of time in which an entire genre named after the series has sprung up and seen thousands of games following in its footsteps. It’s a game that has expectations to live up to that seem almost unfair but somehow manages to exceed them. Metroid Dread is real, and it’s a masterpiece.
Gameplay is now available for Bonito Days, which was just released following its announcement last week. The game can be purchased on Switch now.
For those that need a refresher, check out the following overview for Bonito Days:
As part of a new episode of the PlayStation Japan “Play! Play! Play!” broadcast, Square Enix and B.B. Studio released the very first gameplay of Dragon Quest X: Rise of the Five Tribes Offline today. Although we did see a new trailer earlier in the month, this is a proper look at pure footage.
Dragon Quest X initially came to Wii in 2012 as an MMORPG. Later on it was made available on additional platforms, including 3DS and Switch. The Offline edition was then revealed back in May.
Last month, Caulifla (Super Saiyan 2) was announced for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. Bandai Namco has now come out with a first look at the character in action as part of a new trailer today.
Those using Caulifla (Super Saiyan 2) can hold down the fire button to boost the power of her Super Attack, Crush Canon. Bandai Namco says you can “then blast your foes with a Kikouha after firing off two savage Kidan using her Ultimate Attack, Crush Stream”.
