This week on Nintendo Everything Podcast, two Nintendo Directs came out and they’re pretty fresh! Monster Hunter Rise and Stories 2 look so tempting, and so many other games have us looking forward to the future. Also, Mario 3D All-stars is apparently emulated, but…is that really a problem? We also throw in some next-gen talk with the recent PS5 price and pre-order situation.
Check out links and timestamps below and come hang out.

Inazuma Eleven: Great Road of Heroes doesn’t appear to be any closer than when the game was first announced in 2016 as Inazuma Eleven Ares. On Twitter, Level-5 president Akihiro Hino said the company is prioritizing the development of Yo-kai Watch Jam – Yo-kai Academy Y: Waiwai Gakuen Seikatsu instead.
Hino’s full words, as translated by Siliconera:
Last month, Dead Cells’ new Barrels o’ Fun update was announced for a summer release on Switch. It seems that there was actually going to be a delay on consoles in order to iron out performance, but the team has reversed course and is now intending to go live next week.
Motion Twin and Evil Empire addressed the situation, providing the following status report:
System: Switch (eShop)
Release date: September 3, 2020
Developer: Proletariat
Publisher: Proletariat
One could argue that the battle royale scene has become incredibly stale with a bunch of clones that have been looking to capitalize on the popularity of other titles in the genre. Since then, it has become a bit of a juggernaut with pros and cons on the industry. Spellbreak now adds itself to the long lineup of battle royale games, and while we’ve seen plenty come and go, it’s nice that this one has come through and finally delivers an experience with seamless cross-play and cross-progression across all platforms, leads the way in consumer respect, and offers an appealing look with a magical take.
Following the announcement of Monster Hunter Rise, Arekkz Gaming spoke with EMEA Capcom Community Manager Josh Dahdrai to learn a bit more about the game. Dahdrai reconfirmed some aspects that were pretty much already known, but also commented on other aspects like post-launch support, frame rate, and why it’s not a numbered title.
Here’s the full roundup:
A pair of Devolver Digital Switch games have been confirmed for physical release. The Swords of Ditto: Mormo’s Curse and Crossing Souls are both getting the boxed treatment. Each package contains the Switch cartridge, sequentially numbered game packaging, reversible cover art, instruction booklet, and mystery box.
Pre-orders for both games open on September 29 through Special Reserve Games. You’ll also be able to reserve copies through Limited Run Games, which come with different boxart.
There’s a lot that’s different about Immortals Fenyx Rising since we first saw the game at E3 2019 last June. The changes extend to the name itself, as it’s no longer called Gods & Monsters. Ubisoft decided to go with Immortals Fenyx Rising instead.
Director Scott Phillips explained the name change in-depth as part of an interview with GameSpot. He told the site:
Koei Tecmo and Gust have updated the Fairy Tail RPG again. With the latest patch, the game is at version 1.0.5 and a couple of issues have been addressed.
Below are the full patch notes:
Listings on the eShops provide file sizes for a bunch of Switch games. These include Empire of Sin, Ys Origin, Rivals of Aether, and more.
