Glover was previously announced for Switch, but Limited Run Games just came forward with the news that it’s working on a physical release.
Although only a standard version is planned, that in itself is pretty big news. Note that Limited Run Games says the release is not a part of its own collection and it’s simply handling distribution for QUByte Interactive.

We’ve got the results of the latest Splatfest in Splatoon 3, which was Bread vs. Rice vs. Pasta. Nintendo asked that if you could eat one of these every day, which would you go for?
Based on the halftime results, it seemed that things couldn’t be much closer. For clout, Team Pasta barely had the lead with 33.72 percent. Team Rice was in second at 33.45 percent, with Team Bread carrying a respectable 32.83 percent.

SEGA talks Super Monkey Ball series sales and more
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Although some fans may have been concerned about sales of Super Monkey Ball, especially data that followed the release of Banana Rumble, SEGA says that the series is doing perfectly fine.
In its first week, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble sold just 1,500 copies. That quickly prompted some concern. However, producer Nobuhiro Suzuki recently spoke about the franchise’s sales in a Famitsu interview and pointed to North American players as the current focus of the series and that’s where the IP has done well.
We’ve translated the following excerpt:

Zelda: Majora’s Mask N64 vs. 3DS – examining which is better
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in 3DS, Features, General Nintendo | 0 comments
We’re taking a bit of time to reflect on the Zelda: Majora’s Mask N64 vs. 3DS debate to think about the pros and cons of each version.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask is often regarded as one of the better (if not one of the best) games in the series. This is despite how heavily it borrows assets from Ocarina of Time – it fashions old assets into new characters with set routines and believable reactions to the tragedies that occur in the game. That being said, the two versions of the game available right now, N64 and 3DS, provide different experiences. There isn’t a consensus on which version of the game is objectively better, however. Today, we’re going to discuss the differences between Majora’s Mask N64 vs 3DS and ask you the question: which one do you like better?
[Let’s Talk] What do you want to see next out of Monolith Soft?
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Let's Talk | 0 comments
Monolith Soft has become one of Nintendo’s most important subsidiaries over the years. For one thing, the company has developed a very consistent RPG in Xenoblade Chronicles going back to the Wii era. Monolith Soft continued to expand and now has extra teams working on other first-party games, ranging from Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild to the Splatoon titles.
This week, we heard that Monolith Soft is hiring for a “new RPG” with Tetsuya Takahashi at the helm. It’s certainly possible that this could be for a new Xenoblade game. On the other hand, we can’t help but be intrigued by the company working on something entirely new.
We want to ask you though: what would you like to see out of Monolith Soft? Let us know in the comments below.

Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics has received a lot of attention for bringing back a lot of retro titles including some that many thought were unlikely to return anytime soon, but that could be just the start. Producer Shuhei Matsumoto has indicated that the company hopes to do more in the future.
In a recent interview, Matsumoto stated that Capcom wants all of its classic fighting games on modern consoles. That tidbit comes as part of an interview with IGN.
[Rapid Review] Thank Goodness You’re Here

System: Switch
Release date: August 1, 2024
Developer: Coal Supper
Publisher: Panic
It’s not very often that a video game makes me laugh. There are usually a few lines of dialogue that will elicit a smile or two, or maybe even a small chuckle if it’s especially witty. But prior to playing Thank Goodness You’re Here I couldn’t remember the last time I was genuinely amused, especially not to the point that I needed to put my console down to compose myself for a few moments at times. It’s definitely something you need to experience firsthand to appreciate, and unlike anything else I’ve played this year so far.

The history of the “free update” model in Switch games
Posted on 2 months ago by Ethan in Features, General Nintendo, Switch | 0 comments
Today, we’re going over the history of the “free update” business model of certain first-party games released for Switch.
Free updates and DLC weren’t quite as common for Nintendo games back in the Wii U and 3DS era. Company culture changes aside, one possible reason for this is that those consoles could only store so much extra data and updates for their games (with Super Smash Bros. pushing the limits of this restriction). Needless to say, things have sort of changed during the Switch era. Free updates have gone from a nice bonus to… something else, we’ll say. Here are some of the most prominent examples of Switch games that relied on a free update content cycle, and what these updates added to each game.
Worst Shiny Pokemon of all time
Posted on 2 months ago by Ethan in Features, General Nintendo, Switch | 0 comments
Following our recent list of the best Shiny Pokemon of all time, we’ve put together a list of the absolute worst Shiny Pokemon of all time. When you look at a big list of every Shiny Pokemon, you’ll notice that there are many more average or poor ones than good ones. This is especially prevalent in some of the earlier generations. It’s rumored that Shiny Pokemon colors were originally determined via an algorithm, but we couldn’t actually find any confirmation of this – maybe the developers just got better at picking colors as the years went by. In any case, we’ve looked through every single Shiny Pokemon and included some of the very worst ones here.
