Nintendo developer talks CG and amiibo work for Metroid Dread
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
In a post on Nintendo’s recruitment website, developer Uenaka Minoru shared insight into his work on Metroid Dread, including CG and amiibo. He’s been with the planning and production department since 2019.
Minoru’s post goes into working with MercurySteam and how the “finest details” needed to be considered since CG was used on Nintendo’s website, the boxart, and more. Working on E.M.M.I. was probably the biggest aspect of the project since it required “a sense of realism that required not just cooperation from the series development team, but also cooperation with other companies to get the fine details properly finished and as convincing as possible.” As for the amiibo, he wanted to create two poses so that it would look like Samus and the E.M.M.I. were squaring off.

[Let’s Talk] Who’s your Smash Bros. main?
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk | 0 comments
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is making a slight comeback this weekend as new spirits are being added to the game. Let’s also not forget that Sora, the last DLC fighter for the game, gets an amiibo next month. Even more than five years later, there’s still an active fanbase as well.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate contains the series’ biggest roster yet. It also did what some may not have thought possible by bringing back every character from all past games – DLC included.
With such a big roster available, which fighter do you tend to go with in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate? Do you have more than one that’s in your rotation? Let us know in the comments.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s creepiest Pokedex entries
Posted on 1 year ago by Ethan in Features, Switch | 0 comments
Today, we’re taking a look at the creepiest Pokedex entries in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet plus a few of the returning Pokemon in The Indigo Disk DLC.
To an extent, Pokedex entries have always been kind of messed up. But things took a turn sometime around Pokemon Sun and Moon – lots of Pokemon started getting particularly eyebrow-raising descriptions. For example, if Drifloon’s body were to burst, its soul would spill out with a screaming sound. We definitely didn’t need to know that!

December 22: A new Splatfest is starting soon for Splatoon 3, with an event planned based around the holidays. The theme asks how you spend it. Do you spend time with friends, family, or by yourself?
You’ll be able to give input when the Splatest is held on January 13, 2024. However, players will be able to pick their team earlier on January 5. Note that you’ll be able to get involved at any point – even after the Splatfest begins – so choosing right away isn’t mandatory.

[Review] Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
Posted on 1 year ago by Dawn in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: January 18, 2024
Developer: Ubisoft
Publisher: Ubisoft
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown came as something of a surprise when it was announced during Summer Game Fest last year. The series had been in an odd state of partially suspended animation up to that point, with the last mainline entry on consoles being 2010’s The Forgotten Sands, and the only other activity being largely ignored mobile spinoffs and the vague promises of a remake of the first game in the series. A brand new 2.5D entry was probably the last thing anyone expected, and while The Lost Crown won’t be the game that many fans were asking for, it nonetheless stands out as a fantastic entry in the series that is more than worth your time.
