Nintendo announced this past week that Super Mario 3D Land, Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, and Ultimate NES Remix are joining the Nintendo Selects line in North America starting February 5. View a new promo for the news below.
Kirby Battle Royale is out now both physically and digitally in North America. Have a look at the new launch trailer below.
Impact Gameworks announced Tangledeep for Switch last year. The game is now leaving access, and attention is shifting towards Nintendo’s console. We have a confirmed release window of Q2 2018.
Tangledeep is a 16-bit dungeon-crawler with turn-based RPG gameplay. The soundtrack was composed by Andrew Aversa, who is joined by Hiroki Kikuta, Grant Kirkhope, and Norihiko Hibino.
You can find more information about Tangledeep below. We also have a new trailer highlighting some of the environments and combat.
Yoshiaki Koizumi and Eiji Aonuma, the producers of Super Mario Odyssey and Zelda: Breath of the Wild respectively, recently played the Nintendo Guessing Game to see how well they know each other. Check out the full video below.
Update: Bumped to the top. Patch notes added below.
Original: Nintendo released a new update for Splatoon 2 earlier this week that made a bunch of changes. Unfortunately, that patch introduced some new issues. Because of that, Nintendo has prepared yet another update – version 2.2.1.
Nintendo hasn’t provided the patch notes for this latest Splatoon 2 update just yet. When we have them, we’ll add them in here.
A new video from Digital Foundry examines the Switch version of Dragon Quest Builders. We’re able to get a better idea regarding how the game holds up technically, and how it compares to the PlayStation 4 version.
Dragon Quest Builders runs at 720 when docked rather than going for a higher resolution. That’s because the developers were targeting 60 frames per second. Also, this allowed for much of the visual quality from the PlayStation 4 version to be preserved.
If you only watched the first couple of seconds of this week’s Nintendo Labo trailer, you might get the impression that Nintendo is trying to do something with VR. It could remind you of something like Google Cardboard. But as the trailer progresses, you’ll quickly realize that Nintendo is going for something that’s rather different.
Nintendo Labo also isn’t intended to be an answer to VR. That’s according to Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime, who spoke with Toronto Sun about the new initiative.
