Nintendo and HAL Laboratory have again prepared some concept art from Kirby Star Allies. This time around, we have a look at a couple of images focusing on The Divine Terminus. More specifically, we have a look at the alter with Jamba Heart at the end of the game.
While not a massive spoiler, the art is still from the end of Kirby Star Allies. You can find both pieces of concept art below.
The one-button arcade game Ding Dong XL is coming to Switch. That’s according to Kinda Funny’s Greg Miller, who has shown the game running on Nintendo’s system.
Here’s an overview of Ding Dong XL from Steam, along with a trailer:
Square Enix character artist Toshiyuki Itahana has participated in a new interview as part of the release of Chocobo’s Mystery Dungeon Every Buddy. There was plenty of talk about the game itself, but a couple of topics outside of that as well. Among other things, Itahana commented on where the idea for chocobos came from.
The full interview is as follows:
Nintendo’s maintenance schedule for the coming week has once again been updated. Thus far, only two sessions are planned – one for Switch, and another for Nintendo Network ID.
The current schedule is as follows:
Bit Kid has announced that Chasm will be getting a big update on Switch soon. The developer is working with an outside porting studio to put the latest additions on Nintendo’s console.
Thus far, Bit Kid has only mentioned a few elements about the update. Players can look forward to new room variations for all areas, unique and legendary item drops as well as bonus stats, and customizable gamepad controls.
Chasm is currently available digitally on the Switch eShop. A release date for the update has not yet been announced.
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 was updated on most platforms this week with a new Photo Mode. Unfortunately, Switch players will have to wait a bit longer. Bandai Namco says that the feature will be added “later this year” on Nintendo’s console.
As the name implies, Photo Mode lets player take all sorts of unique screenshots in-game. Various filters can be used as well.
SEGA shared a new batch of screenshots that give us a good look at the Frozen Junkyard stage. Have a look at the various images in the gallery below.
Team Sonic Racing will be out for Switch on May 21.
3D Realms is currently planning its first-person shooter Wrath: Aeon of Ruin for Switch. Schreiber, recently speaking with GameRevolution, indicated that getting mature titles approved by Nintendo is relatively simple.
Schreiber says that the Big N would only take issues with games that would fall under the Adults-Only-rated ESRB category – meaning “straight-up nudity and violence.” Other than that, “it’s pretty straightforward.”
This week’s Nindies Showcase ended in a surprising way. Who could have seen a new Crypt of the NecroDancer game coming that stars The Legend of Zelda? But that’s exactly what we’re getting with Cadence of Hyrule – Crypt of the NecroDancer Featuring the Legend of Zelda (certainly a long title, isn’t it?).
Cadence of Hyrule is in many ways a landmark game. We haven’t really seen Nintendo offer up one of its IPs to an indie developer before. This sort of announcement makes you wonder what else could be possible in the future. Now that the gates have opened, what types of collaborations would you like to see between Nintendo and other indie titles in the future? What would be the game and who would be the developer? Let us know about the ideas you have in the comments below.
