Bandai Namco registers new trademarks for Baten Kaitos and Baten Kaitos Origins in Europe
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in GameCube, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Before Monolith Soft created Xenoblade, the developer worked on a number of other titles. Baten Kaitos was one brief RPG series the studio was known for. The original game as well as its prequel – Baten Kaitos Origins – were GameCube exclusives. This was back when Monolith Soft was with Bandai Namco.
The Baten Kaitos IP has been dormant since Origins released in 2006. There were some talks about a DS entry that never came to be, but that’s pretty much it.
It’s interesting then that new trademarks have surfaced in Europe. Baten Kaitos and Baten Kaitos Origins were both filed today. That doesn’t exactly mean that they’ll be rereleased or that Bandai Namco has any plans for the series, but we would certainly welcome HD remasters on Switch if that were to ever happen.

How long to beat New Pokemon Snap
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
If there’s one question that’s been swirling around New Pokemon Snap since the initial reveal, it’s how long the game takes to beat. After all, the N64 original was known for being a bit on the short side. The first Pokemon Snap only took a few short hours to wrap up.
So how about New Pokemon Snap on Switch? There are a few early reports from outlets as well as players, and it looks like it’s a 10 to 15 hour journey on average, though of course that number with vary from person to person.
