Tintin Reporter: Cigars of the Pharaoh

Today, publisher Microids and developer Pendulo Studios announced Tintin Reporter: Cigars of the Pharaoh for Switch. A release is planned for 2023.

We have the following overview with additional details:

Live A Live Nintendo Virtual Console

According to Live A Live director Takashi Tokita, a big reason the HD-2D remake of Live A Live came to be was due to Nintendo’s interest in having it return on the Wii U Virtual Console for its 20th anniversary in 2015. Apparently the RPG had a number of supporters within the company.

Tokita shared the news during a recent live stream. He indicated that the remake wouldn’t have happened if Square Enix didn’t go out of its way to initially bring back Live A Live for its Virtual Console appearance. 

The gaming world is full of franchises. As soon as a new IP appears, people are already curious to know about the next game. Nintendo is basically the king in that realm, being the owner of incredibly popular franchises like Mario, Donkey Kong, Zelda, and others. Because of that, fans often we expect sequels from Nintendo, praying to see a new entry in one of our favorite franchises.

In today’s video, I discuss Nintendo’s different approaches for a sequel and consider when a new game makes sense for a franchise – all of that in the context of the soon to be released Splatoon 3. Feel free to check the video and share your opinion below.

Best Nintendo brand crossovers merchandise

People love gaming crossovers – there’s something very satisfying about seeing characters interact from several beloved franchises. Games such as Super Smash Bros. are extremely popular due to this because Nintendo has some of the most iconic characters in the game industry. The company constantly leverages this popularity to feature their characters in other crossovers as well, including merchandise.

Nintendo has created merchandise with some of the biggest brands in various industries (such as apparel, food, and toys), and there is a lot out there to sift through. Luckily, we’ve pinpointed the biggest brands that the Big N has partnered with, and created a list of the top ten crossovers that can be bought today. Additionally, all of these featured items are available internationally, as Japan gets a lot of exclusive Nintendo brand crossovers.

So, without further ado, here is a list of the best 10 Nintendo crossover merchandise that can be purchased right now.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 review

System: Switch
Release Date: July 29, 2022
Developer: Monolith Soft
Publisher: Nintendo


With five years between the release of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and 3, we’ve had plenty of time to devote ourselves to the world of Alrest and pick apart the differences and similarities between it and the world of the original Xenoblade Chronicles. With the Definitive Edition hitting Switch a mere couple of years ago, we’ve had the series fairly fresh on our minds while waiting for the next release. With side content like Torna: The Golden Country from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and the Future Connected content from Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition, there has been a lot to take in before getting to 3 – and that’s not counting those of us who also spent time with the stranded-on-Wii U entry of Xenoblade Chronicles X (a completely unrelated story, but with similar gameplay and an unconnected world.)

First screenshots from Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway have leaked, and it reveals that Jimmy Neutron and Odie from Garfield will be among the lineup of playable characters.

The title was first revealed last month, but with limited information. We did hear that there’ll be over 40 characters in the game plus tracks inspired by shows like SpongeBob SquarePants, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Avatar: The Last Airbender, and more. Voice acting will also be included.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night Journey crossover

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has revealed another crossover, and this time the game is teaming up with the acclaimed title Journey from thatgamecompany. It’ll be comprised of a new crossover boss area.

Players will be explore a new section of the castle known as The Tunnels, which is inspired by the imagery and level design of Journey, but with a Bloodstained twist. The final challenge involves battling the level’s guardian. Defeat it to earn a special Journey-inspired equippable item.

The NPD report for July 2022 has confirmed that Switch again led monthly video game console sales in the United States when it comes to units. Additionally, the same fact applies to the overall year so far.

Switch was the leader for unit sales, but PlayStation 5 was the leader for the actual dollar amount when it comes to July and 2022 as a whole. It’s worth noting that Sony’s system is more expensive than Switch as the digital version is priced at $400 followed by the standard model at $500.
