Hello, my Fatal Cuties! This week on NEP, we got hit with some Pokemon leaks while recording, but we keep our reactions spoiler-free. We chat some great games we’ve been playing with Atelier Ryza, Luigi’s Mansion and more, then we muse on 3DS games we’d like to see make the jump to Switch. Somehow, we end up arguing with each other over Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask. How. How even did that happen. Come have a chill game time with us.
If you’re enjoying NEP, please consider giving us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts, aka new iTunes. It’s incredibly helpful in getting us exposed to new listeners through algorithms, so we would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you for listening!
This week, the podcast is sponsored by Koei Tecmo. Check out Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout, out now on Nintendo Switch.
System: Switch (eShop)
Release date: October 31, 2019

Of all the genres most cruelly under-represented in modern gaming, I feel it’s the humble air-combat sim that tops the list. What was once a regular showing during the 90’s and 00’s has since withered away in significance, and outside of a handful of current and last-gen Ace Combat games, there has been little else to fill the void – especially on Nintendo’s hybrid console. As a result of this drought, I couldn’t deny my intrigue once I learned of Sky Gamblers: Storm Raiders 2’s presence in the Switch’s release calendar. The mere mention of high octane dogfights and World War II aircraft are a sure fire way to get me interested (I may still be 12, need to check). What I failed to anticipate was the mobile heritage of the franchise that makes itself blisteringly apparent once you fire the game up.
After a slight delay, the physical version of A Hat in Time launches this coming week. Some lucky fans are already getting their hands on the game though, and we now have information about an optional download.
A Hat in Time will prompt players to download 5.4GB of data as an update. However, it’s worth noting that the game can still start without it. As for the Seal the Deal DLC, it’s offered through a code included in the box.
Here’s a quick look at the physical version of A Hat in Time:
During the Q&A portion of Nintendo’s latest financial results briefing, president Shuntaro Furukawa addressed the topic of bringing back older games. Furukawa was first asked about software development given the release of the Switch Lite as well as the possibility of remakes for titles previously released on handhelds.
Furukawa said the following, as translated by Siliconera:

Original: Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield have been hit with substantial leaks since Friday. Two weeks before the games officially launch, certain fans managed to get their hands on copies and have shared all sorts of information about creatures in the games. The leaks have continued over the past few hours with many new Pokemon, evolutions, Galarian and Gigantamax forms now being made known.
We’ve rounded up the latest set of leaks below. Once again, please turn away now if you’d prefer to go into your experience with Pokemon Sword/Shield without having been spoiled about new Pokemon that are included.
