The Pokemon Japan Championships 2023 are happening in Japan, and a special Bronzong distribution is being held in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet to celebrate. This is what was used by Yasuharu Shimizu who won the Senior World Champion last year.
Bronzong comes in at level 50 like most distributions. Body Press, Iron Defense, Protect, and Trick Room are its moves. Bronzong will also be holding the Leftovers item.
Lonesome Village developer Ogre Pixel revealed A Tiny Sticker Tale as its latest project this week, and we have confirmation that it will be appearing on Switch.
Right after the announcement, a campaign for A Tiny Sticker Tale launched on Kickstarter. The funding goal was met in just a couple of hours. That secures development for the full project as well as a Switch version.
Fresh gameplay has arrived for Raiden III x Mikado Maniax, the shoot ’em up game from NIS America and Moss. This one was just brought over to the west this week.
Here’s the official eShop description with more details:
A final launch trailer has come in for SENSEs: Midnight to promote the game’s release. Eastasiasoft just published the survival horror experience on Switch.
Here’s an overview with more information about the game:
If there’s one thing Sonic Superstars needs to nail, it’s the gameplay – including the controls and physics. Series producer Takashi Iizuka has now shared some comments that seem to point that things are heading in the right direction.
In an interview with IGN, Iizuka mentioned that the development team started out by replicating the classic gameplay the franchise is known for “very precisely”. That should come as somewhat of a relief to fans wondering about how Sonic Superstars feels, especially as games such as Sonic the Hedgehog 4 received criticism when it came to the physics.
Atlus is developing a Persona 3 remake titled Persona 3 Reload, and a Switch version has now been spotted.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past 24 hours, you probably heard the news that trailers for two Persona games leaked. We held off on posting as you can never know what Atlus will do with the Persona series on Nintendo platforms, but now that there’s some Switch news in the mix, we can at least mention it.
According to Sonic producer Takashi Iizuka, Sonic Superstars will only feature new levels. The game will not be bringing back stages from past titles.
If there’s one thing we’ve seen from the Sonic series over the years, it’s been the reliance on levels going back to the franchise’s earliest days. At this point, fans are used to seeing areas like Green Hill Zone. However, in Sonic Superstars, it’ll be new content only.
Speaking with IGN, Iizuka explained the decision to offer new stages only in Sonic Superstars rather than past levels:
On this week’s episode we discussed the recent reveal of Everybody 1-2 Switch, Vanpool shutting down, and the Nintendo of Russia drama. We also talked about Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 and the new Rune Factory announcements. There’s that and more on the latest episode of Nintendo Everything Refresh.
