Nope, absolutely nothing to – wait, hang on, apparently I’m getting word that actually last week was quite possibly one of the biggest weeks for gaming news that we’ve seen all year?

And that apparently on top of that some weird niche event called Tokyo Game Show had even more upcoming Switch games to reveal and show off?! Huh – well, I guess it’s time for a new episode of Nintendo Everything Refresh, then! In this jumbo-sized episode, join your hosts Nick, Nicolas and Dennis as they unpack all the news big and small from last week’s whirlwind of game reveals and announcements!

[Review] Temtem
Posted on 2 years ago by Elias in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release Date: September 6, 2022
Developer: Crema
Publisher: Humble Games
I’ve always wished I could be whisked away to a world like Pokemon or Dragon Quest Monsters – a place where I can collect creatures and build bonds. A world of adventure where friendships and hard work can lead to more and more epic battles with stronger and stronger opponents. Monster taming games will have to scratch that itch, for now, and Temtem’s island world has a ton of new creatures to meet and befriend, but will it become another destination for our “lets get reincarnated in another world and catch some monsters” dreams, or will this one be overshadowed by its acclaimed predecessors?

Original (9/18): Kit Ellis and Krysta Yang, the two former hosts of Nintendo Minute who also previously worked for many years at Nintendo PR, have given insight into The Pokemon Company’s views on nuzlocke. Apparently, it’s something that’s looked upon very negatively.
Ellis revealed during the latest episode of the Kit & Krysta Podcast that for an episode of Nintendo Minute, an idea was pitched to try a nuzlocke run. Unfortunately, the proposal was immediately shot down.
Tassei working on PC stream card for Switch
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
A ton of different games and products were shown off at the 2022 Tokyo Game Show this week, including an interesting device from Tassei that acts as a PC stream card for Switch.
Using it seems to be fairly straightforward. You simply plug the stream card into the cartridge slot on the Switch, and the device then performs some processing after receiving data from a PC. One game shown off was Stray – it was running on a nearby PC, and it could be played on a Switch. 4Gamer reports that was very little delay, which is obviously important.
