Konami has spoken to Nintendo Everything about whether we could one day see a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game collection featuring titles from the 2000s, leaving the door open to the possibility.
Just a few days ago, Konami released Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection. It includes about a dozen classic games between the arcade, NES, SNES, and Game Boy. Konami’s support of the franchise didn’t stop there though, as we also saw a number of additional releases for other platforms later on.

More than three years after Katana Zero revealed plans for DLC, developer Askiisoft has finally provided a first video look. Today’s footage shows a small slice of the first level.
Katana Zero released on Switch in 2019 and Askiisoft has been tinkering away on the DLC since then. Towards the start of 2020, the developer said the scope had expanded and was three times as big as originally planned. Things expanded even further after that, as in March 2021, we heard that it had increased once again and had become six times bigger than originally planned.

Splatoon 3 will have Salmon Run available 24/7
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
The Salmon Run mode in Splatoon 3 will be available at all days and all times, Nintendo has confirmed.
This is noteworthy as things were handled differently in Splatoon 2. With that game, Salmon Run was restricted since it couldn’t always be played online. In fact, it wasn’t actually playable every day. Nintendo confirming that Salmon Run will always be open in Splatoon 3 is therefore a pretty big deal.
