It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. There are actually no Nintendo titles in the top five this week, with Persona Q2 slipping all the way to the tenth spot.
Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between April 19 and April 25.
My Hero: One’s Justice now has a Japanese release date. The game will arrive on August 23, Bandai Namco announced today. We’ll presumably have a western date soon as well.
Various purchase bonuses are planned for Japanese fans. Pre-orders come with two RP Cards for the arcade title My Hero Academia Gekitotsu! Heroes Battle Plus Ultra!!!. As early bonuses, buyers will receive another color for Bakugo, accessory, title, and victory voice for use in My Hero: One’s Justice.
Black Riddles Studio posted a video a few days ago showing cross-platform play between Switch and Xbox One. We now have a similar video for Switch and PC below.
Often during a game’s creation, developers have to scrap various elements. It could be due to a lack of time, or a completely different reason.
In the case of GoldenEye 007, Rare originally intended to have four different Bonds included. Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, and Pierce Brosnan would have all been playable in the end. Unfortunately, this was left on the cutting room floor, though some elements were left behind in the original code and files.
The first video has gone live for the Nintendo Classic Mini Famicom Weekly Shonen Jump 50th Anniversary Edition, which launches in Japan in July. We have it below.
Last September, Nintendo announced that the NES Classic Edition would be back in stores sometime this year. Just now, the company revealed a release date for its return.
Nintendo has confirmed that the NES Classic Edition will be available at stores once again starting on June 29. The hardware, along with the SNES Classic Edition, “are expected to be available through the end of the year.”
After it previously arrived on Steam, the NES-inspired Alwa’s Awakening is now coming to Switch. Elden Pixels has confirmed a launch window of this summer. The port is mostly done, though the developer will need to work through Nintendo’s submission process before determining a final date.
Alwa’s Awakening is an 8-bit adventure game. Find some additional information and a trailer below.
System: Switch
Release date: May 15, 2018
Developer: Airship Syndicate
Publisher: THQ Nordic
With the Switch’s boom in popularity over its past year, more and more developers are clamoring to get their games onto Nintendo’s newest hardware. While it’s an absolute treat to see indies and third-party developers finally wanting to invest in Nintendo, sometimes the rush to get onto the market can lead to problems along the way. While Battle Chasers: Nightwar has the makings of a solid little JRPG, it feels like it could’ve used a little bit more time before making its debut on the Switch.
