[Nintendo Everything Podcast] – episode #50 – Tokyo Mirage Cessations #Censorship , Pokemon, Activision-Blizzard
Posted on 4 years ago by Oni Dino(@Oni_Dino) in Podcast | 0 comments
Hello, my pop stars and mirages! This week on NEP, it’s nonstop controversy. Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore is going to be censored in all regions, including Japan. What does that mean? What really happened? There’s a lot of misinformation out there, so let us break it down for you. Same thing with Activision-Blizzard recently. Overwatch came out on the Switch this past week—did you notice? We do our best to inform you on what’s going on. And we lighten things up with some heavy, chonky Pokemon announcements. Longcat Meowth is a good boy. Plus, our ideal Pokemon catching tutorial stories. We tidy things up with a chat about Xenoblade Definitive Edition thanks to our lovely listener mail.
If you’re enjoying NEP, please consider giving us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts, aka new iTunes. It’s incredibly helpful in getting us exposed to new listeners through algorithms, so we would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you for listening!
[Interview] Golf Story dev on Wii U origins, cut ideas, and more

It was nearly a year ago that Golf Story debuted on Switch. With that in mind, we recently caught up with Sidebar Games about the well-regarded title.
We chatted with the studio’s Andrew Newey about a number of topics, including Golf Story’s Wii U origins and plans when it was in development for the older console. Newey also discussed some scrapped ideas (including DLC that never materialized), and we also had to ask about Sidebar’s next game – though he was understandably quiet on that front.

Golf Story rated by the ESRB, possibly for physical release
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Golf Story originally made it to Switch at the end of September 2017. Since then, the game has only been available digitally on the eShop. That could be changing soon.
Toady, the ESRB added in a rating for Golf Story on Switch. The classification is suspicious given how it’s been months since the title originally debuted. It could be a sign of an upcoming physical version, though we’ll need to wait on an actual announcement before we can say that it’s happening.
