RISE: Race The Future no longer in the works for Wii U, but VD-Dev still hoping to make a Switch version
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop, Wii U eShop | 15 Comments
IronFall Invasion developer VD-Dev announced RISE: Race The Future for Switch and Wii U. Development is moving forward – despite the sad passing of the studio’s co-founder Fernando Velez.
Some platform changes have been made since the original announcement. For one thing, Wii U is now out of the picture. VD-Dev is also focusing on PC first, with other platforms to follow. VD-Dev still hopes to make a Switch version, but since the game is initially launching at the end of this year, we won’t be seeing it on a Nintendo platform until 2018.

Super Mario Run now costs £9.99 to unlock on the App Store in the UK
Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in Mobile, News | 52 Comments
Apps becoming more expensive due to currency fluctuations is nothing new in the mobile market – and the same is now starting to happen in the UK, although on a much larger scale. Following the UK’s decision to leave the European Union, the Pound has dropped dramatically in value, and as a result, Apple has decided to raise the raise prices on the App Store across the board, by about 25%.
One of the affected titles is Super Mario Run – in the UK, it now costs £9.99 to unlock all of the game’s levels after the initial demo, up from the previous £7.99.
It is not yet known what the game’s price will be on the Google Play Store once Super Mario Run launches on Android devices in March.

Aonuma on Zelda: Breath of the Wild – full Gamekult interview translation
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 30 Comments
A bunch of French interviews with Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma popped over the past few days pertaining to Breath of the Wild. One of these was with Gamekult. While we published a summary at the time, we now have a complete translation thanks to the hard work done by Nintendo Everything reader Kyrio.
With the translation, there’s a better understanding as to what Aonuma said about certain subjects, such as testing done for the game. We also have his comments about topics like coming to an agreement with Shigeru Miyamoto about the essence of Zelda. Honestly, this is one of the more interesting interviews with Aonuma in quite some time, so it’s definitely worth a read.
Continue on below for our full translation.
The Legend of Zelda 30th Anniversary Concert album set list
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 7 Comments
The Legend of Zelda 30th Anniversary Concert album is heading to Japan on February 15. It’ll be published as both a limited edition item as well as a standard release, both of which can be pre-ordered and imported from Play-Asia here and respectively.
In the latest issue of Nintendo Dream, the set list for the album is revealed. Pretty much all of the songs from the actual concert are included as expected, though with a couple of exceptions. The Zelda: Breath of the Wild main theme and Kakariko Village are apparently absent (from the “Encore” part of the concert).
You can find the full set list below.

[Let’s Talk] The future of 3DS
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Let's Talk | 69 Comments
Much of the attention surrounding Nintendo right now is focused on Switch, and understandably so. But the big N has another system on its hands that isn’t going anywhere. Naturally, we’re talking about the 3DS.
Several titles had already been announced for the portable this year. This week, Nintendo reconfirmed some of its 3DS plans (and some new ones), as well as its committment to the platform.
Don’t forget that Nintendo just announced Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia and Fire Emblem Warriors (New 3DS). Aside from that though, Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World comes out next week in the west. Tank Troopers then follows as an eShop title on February 16. Just one week after Switch launches, Mario Sports Superstars arrives in Europe with new amiibo cards to boot – it’ll follow later in March in North America and Japan. Pikmin is still heading to 3DS this year, as is Ever Oasis. Oh, and a Pikachu New 3DS XL system is slated for February along with two new Nintendo Selects in the states.
How’s everyone feeling about 3DS right now? Even after Switch launches, will you continue to play new releases (or older games you have for that matter)? I do think we’ll be seeing at least a few more announcements, whether they’re completely new or localizations of games like Miitopia. Let us know how you feel about 3DS in the comments below.

Last year, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime appeared on DeadLock from The Game Theorists to argue about motion controls. He’s back again, and this time he’s presenting a case for Nintendo to continue making consoles rather than just focusing on software alone. Check out the full video below.

Nintendo site lists Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment for March release on Switch
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 9 Comments
Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment will be out on Switch before any other platform. Yacht Club Games recently said that it would be coming out during the system’s launch window, but didn’t provide any specific time frame.
On Nintendo’s website, Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment is listed for March. It’s still not a concrete date, but that’s more definitive than launch window.
