Tekken producer believes Sakurai is probably the only person that could properly make Smash Bros.
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Tekken producer and Bandai Namco Entertainment general manager Katsuhiro Harada has commented on how Sakurai worked to bring Kazuya to Smash Bros. Ultimate, ultimately stating that “he’s probably the only one that could properly make that game.”
Harada thought Sakurai would ask questions to make sure the character was represented properly, but he “already had his own thoughts about what makes Tekken ‘Tekken.'” This is in part due to how familiar Sakurai was with the series. Harada was impressed by how much Sakurai knows about so many different gaming IPs and having them all integrated into Smash Bros. so successfully.

Splatoon 3 dataminers have been picking apart the game, and seem to have made some interesting discoveries regarding Salmon Run.
Twitter user OatmealDome says that “Pair”, “Underground”, and “Contest” have been spotted. In fact, Pair and Underground will apparently have their own pay grades and titles. Underground is said to have higher quotas (per wave: +3 / +5 / +7) than normal. OatmealDome does also note that what was found here could also be occasional events like Big Run.

Konami announces Suikoden I&II HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars, coming to Switch
Posted on 2 years ago by Nicolas in News, Switch | 0 comments
Konami have just announced surprise remasters for the first two titles in the Suikoden series in the form of Suikoden I&II HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars. The title is set to come to Switch in 2023 and will mark the first time a mainline Suikoden title appears on a Nintendo platform.
The game is a remaster of Suikoden and Suikoden II, originally released on Playstation in 1995 and 1998, though this title also seems to be drawing inspiration from Genso Suikoden I & II, a re-release of those first two games released on PSP in 2006. This new collection promises a number of new additions, including HD visuals, an improved area map, a conversation log, auto-saves and more.
Here is a full overview for the title via Steam:

Splatoon 3 update out now (version 1.1.1), patch notes
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
A new Splatoon 3 update just dropped, with Nintendo issuing version 1.1.1.
This is a notable patch as there are changes and fixes to various aspects of the game. Splatfests, player controls, multiplayer, Salmon Run, and single-player have all been touched up in one way or another.
One aspect worth pointing to specifically is that Nintendo adjusted the rate of Tricolor Battle occurrence and from the defending team’s perspective, they will trigger somewhat less frequently than before. However, Nintendo says the change is “temporary”.
The full patch notes for the Splatoon 3 version 1.1.1 update are as follows:
