Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Battle Destiny Remastered review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 1 month ago by Richard in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: May 21, 2025
Developer: Bandai Namco
Publisher: Bandai Namco
One third-party title released in 2012 exclusively for the PlayStation Vita in Japanese markets was Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Battle Destiny, a collaborative effort between Artdink and Bandai Namco based on the Gundam IP. A quick history lesson for the uninitiated – Mobile Suit Gundam, Kido Senshi Gundam in Japan, was a television anime series that aired between 1979 and 1980 on Japanese TV, followed by a string of re-edited anime films released theatrically in the early 1980s. The premise of the original series set in the future year 0079 was about a young man named Amuro Ray, who is a mechanic tasked with piloting the first giant robot fighting suit, dubbed RX-78-2 Gundam, for its creators, the Earth Federation against the principality that said federation is in war with, Zeon. Mobile Suit Gundam: Seed is the ninth TV anime series of the franchise, released in the early 2000s, followed closely by Mobile Suit Gundam: Seed Destiny in 2004 and a sequel film released in theatres as recently as 2024. The plot of SEED also focuses on split factions, this time within mankind itself, set in yet another future year, humanity has become two species: Naturals, your normal everyday human, and Coordinators, genetically enhanced human beings who have left earth and formed its own colonies due to fear of prosecution from Naturals. This in-fighting only escalates when a third faction, called Plants and their militia Zaft, get involved in the war.

[Let’s Talk] Will you be using GameChat on Nintendo Switch 2?
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch 2 | 0 comments
One of the big new features Nintendo is touting for Switch 2 is GameChat. In fact, there’s even a button dedicated entirely to the functionality on the controller. You’ll need to be a Nintendo Switch Online member in order to use it, though it will be free initially – just for a limited time.
If you haven’t heard about GameChat previously, it’s pretty easy to understand. It’s basically a way for you to connect with friends online – up to twelve people can communicate. Additionally, if you connect a compatible USB-C camera, you can see each other while playing. Another neat wrinkle is the ability to share your screen in real time.

Nearly three decades after Pokemon made its debut in the west, the creator of the franchise’s logo has come forward and revealed some early designs that were left on the cutting room floor. IGN relayed the images and news this week.
Many years ago, Chris Maple – through his company Media Design – received a phone call from the secretary of Nintendo of America president Minoru Arakawa. Maple was asked to come over for a visit, with the only information given is that the company wanted him to work on a new game.
