Nintendo has quite a bit of maintenance scheduled, though all upcoming sessions will be complete towards the start of next week. All of the Big N’s platforms will be impacted.
Here’s the full schedule:
Ahead of its release next week, Famitsu published one of the first reviews for Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury in its latest issue. Four reviewers gave out scores of “9”, “9”, “8”, and “10” for a total of 36 points. The Wii U original earned 38 points, but 36 is nothing to snuff at, and keep in mind that different writers were involved.
In any case, we’ve gone ahead and translated the entire Famitsu review. You can find it in full below.
When you think about gaming franchises, Nintendo has some of the most recognizable IPs around. Mario is right at the top, but there’s also Pokemon, Zelda, Kirby, Donkey Kong, Splatoon, and many more. There’s even Animal Crossing, which was already fairly popular in the past, but has really taken off with New Horizons on Switch.
Despite how many series Nintendo has at its disposal, not everything is around today. There have some IPs that haven’t been touched in years, or even decades.
With that in mind, we want to hear from you. Is there a dormant Nintendo franchise you’d like to see make a comeback? Let us know in the comments below – your response may be featured in a future Nintendo Everything video!
Switch fans in the west will finally be able to try out Romance of the Three Kingdoms when the Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIV: Diplomacy and Strategy Expansion Pack launches next week. Ahead of the game’s release, Koei Tecmo gave us the opportunity to speak with producer Kazuhiro Echigoya.
Echigoya was able to speak about how the team approached the game’s story, future goals for the series, and more. We also chatted a bit about supporting Switch.
