In a news article posted by Bloomberg, Nintendo discussed the possibility of a worldwide shortage of Switch consoles, stating the following:
“We do not see any major impact on the shipment to the U.S. currently, but we will remain vigilant and take steps if necessary,” a Nintendo spokesperson told Bloomberg News. “It’s possible the supply would be affected by the virus if it becomes more widespread and prolonged.”
As of now, Switch shipments for February and March have already been dispatched from Asia, but its definitely possible we may see some shortages in the future if the virus outbreak continues.
It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. Animal Crossing: New Horizons holds on strong at #2 this week while Rune Factory 5 enters the top ten.
Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between January 30 and February 5.
Nintendo has run a couple of promotions for Switch Online subscribers in Japan. Previously, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and Fire Emblem Warriors were offered entirely for free during a limit period. Now the program is expanding to third-party offerings.
Today, Nintendo announced that Dead Cells will be completely free to play between February 24 and March 1, assuming you’re a Nintendo Switch Online member. There is no limit on how much the game can be played, and you’re able to transfer progress to the full version.
Nintendo has not announced any similar promotions for Switch Online subscribers in the west at this time.
A number of new deals are up and running on the North American Switch eShop. These include 99Vidas: Definitive Edition, Cat Quest, Fe, Ghostbusters: The Videogame Remastered, Overwatch: Legendary Edition, Swords and Soldiers 2, and more.
Here are the full highlights:
In a recent issue of Dengeki PlayStation, the magazine published a lengthy interview with the developers behind Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers. Producer / director Daisuke Kaneda, director Mumon Usuda, director Kazutoshi Sekiguchi, and director Nobumichi Kumabe all shared some in-depth information about the game’s creation.
Persona Central went to the trouble of sharing information from the interview. We have a roundup of the notable tidbits below.
During the GameCube era, Blizzard was developing StarCraft: Ghost. The stealth-action game would have hit Nintendo’s older console along with other competing platforms. It sadly wasn’t meant to be, as the entire project was scrapped – though it wouldn’t be officially confirmed as cancelled until 2014.
All of these years later, we have a brand new look at Starcraft: Ghost. An old Xbox build has apparently leaked online from a dev kit and has started to spread. A couple of videos can be found below, but it’s expected that we’ll be hearing more about the project going forward now that a much wider group of people have access.
