Nintendo published the next episode in its “Greetings from the Oasis” video series for Ever Oasis. Watch episode 2 below.
This week’s episode has gone live. In today’s video, Kit and Krysta play Super Mario Odyssey with a couple of its developers. Watch it below.
Media Create provided extra sales information for the week ending June 11. The latest analysis indicates that the system has an attach rate of 1.60 after being on the market for fifteen weeks. In other words, Switch owners have purchased about 1.60 games, which is higher than Wii U’s 1.45 in the same time frame.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is currently the best-selling game in Japan with 505,270 copies sold. Zelda: Breath of the Wild is next at 494,526 units.
Reggie on the social competitive scene and Smash Bros., wanting to keep things at a grassroots level
During a recent tournament, Juan “Hungrybox” Debiedma called Nintendo out with the following message:
“A certain company that acknowledges us but refuses to push us—I hope you’re listening right now, because I want you to hear this. I want you to hear the amount of people who support this league, the amount of people who want this to be a lifestyle for people. This is not just a video game. This is a lifestyle! All right?”
At E3, Kotaku showed Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime this speech. Here’s what he had to say in response:
This week’s NeoGeo addition on Switch was Sengoku. For a look at the game, take a look at the video below.
The Zelda: Breath of the Wild amiibo should be appearing on store shelves again soon. Nintendo’s CPSIA site contains updated listings (from earlier this week) for the Link (Rider), Link (Archer), Guardian, and Zelda figures. Each one received additional manufacturing in May. Be on the lookout for more stock soon.
Wondering what’s coming to Switch and 3DS for the rest of 2017? As a way of highlighting some of the upcoming releases, Nintendo created the new infographic above and distributed it on Twitter. It’s the same for both North America and Europe, but PAL regions are finally getting the Brain Training 3DS game this summer.
After working on the project for several years, DoctorM64 published his fan project Another Metroid 2 Remake (AM2R) online last year. But soon after it was released, he was given a DMCA from Nintendo.
What’s makes the whole story interesting is that Nintendo unveiled Metroid: Samus Returns for 3DS at E3 this week. It just so happens that the company was working on its own remake of the Game Boy title.
One of the more prominent developers involved with Metroid was actually aware of AM2R. Although he hasn’t seen it personally, game producer Yoshio Sakamoto told Kotaku:
“We heard about it first after we had already started development. We know it exists, the fact that a fan is out there and really likes the series this much.”
