[Review] NieR: Automata The End of YoRHa Edition
Posted on 2 years ago by Amit Dhindsa(@Agnezenn) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release Date: October 6, 2022
Developer: PlatinumGames
Publisher: Square Enix
NieR: Automata has always shared something of a connection with Switch. When asked by Famitsu what his thoughts were on the system and its reveal presentation in January 2017, director Yoko Taro simply stated his memories vanished once he found out the console, along with Breath of the Wild, were releasing just one week after his game. Launching alongside such a titanic duo didn’t end up holding NieR: Automata back in the end, however, as it was both a critical and commercial success, leading to it becoming one of the most requested Switch ports of the last generation. More than five years later, the game has finally arrived on Nintendo’s platform, and this gripping tale of android vs. machine was certainly worth the wait.

[Review] Persona 5 Royal
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release Date: October 21, 2022
Developer: Atlus
Publisher: Atlus / SEGA
2022 has been a year heavily laden with JRPGs for Switch, but while most of the releases we’ve seen this year are all new offerings, Persona 5 Royal is a bit late to the party with the original Persona 5 launching back in 2016 for PS3/PS4 and Royal following in 2019 specifically for PS4. While a Switch port was widely hoped for, the first taste Switch owners would get of anything related to Shin Megami Tensei would be the port of the Wii U’s Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE. Although the mainline series did make its way over soon enough, this is the first round of Persona on Nintendo’s hybrid console. After all these years, though, is it really worth the wait and the port-begging?

Cuphead director on why the game doesn’t have health bars
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Something that Cuphead fans may notice about the game is that there aren’t any health bars. While battling bosses, some may find it difficult to determine how close they are to being defeated.
Co-director Chad Moldenhauer explained why Studio MDHR opted for this approach in a recent issue of EDGE. It sounds like the developer considered implementing health bars in Cuphead while working on early mockups, but having them in would take away the feeling of playing an actual cartoon from the 1930s. Additionally, there was some concern that there would be a focus on DPS and potentially missing key visual clues.

PlatinumGames shares statement on Bayonetta 3 voice acting situation
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
PlatinumGames has shared an official statement about the recent voice acting controversy with Bayonetta 3.
The situation has been developing over the last week, but things began after Hellena Taylor – the original voice of Bayonetta – posted a series of videos explaining why she isn’t returning for the third entry. She claimed that she was initially given “an insulting offer” to reprise the role, and this was only bumped up to $4,000 after reaching out to PlatinumGames.
