Alongside Nintendo’s financial results for May 2022, the company’s latest release schedule has been provided. It highlights upcoming projects from both a first and third-party perspective.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which was already delayed to Spring 2023, has its updated release window here. Advance Wars also has no new date after being delayed indefinitely.
Here’s the complete schedule:

Xenoblade Chronicles: a spoilery discussion about the series
Posted on 2 years ago by Luiz in Features, New Nintendo 3DS, Switch, Wii | 0 comments
Here we are again talking about Xenoblade Chronicles – this time with something a little bit different. Instead of the usual ten-minute video we usually share on Sunday, this is more of a discussion. I’ve had a desire to talk more in-depth about the franchise because there’s so much to discuss about these complex games.
To help me on this task, our reporter Nicolas joined me in an hour-long Xenoblade discussion where we talk about our experiences with the series, specific plot points and what we expect from the future third game in the franchise. If you are interested, feel free to check it out in the video down below.
[Review] Nintendo Switch Sports
Posted on 2 years ago by Elias in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: April 29, 2022
Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo
If, like me, you grew up when the Wii was current, you no doubt put some time in on Wii Sports. Packed in with each new console here in the west, the title was a lot of players’ first introduction to the console’s motion controls, as well as their first time being able to engage with family members who wouldn’t usually think of playing video games. Wii Sports itself became a system-seller and its popularity is still raging to this day, with many homes still dusting off their Wii for play sessions at family gatherings to entertain kids and adults alike. Now with Switch’s success, a new entry in the series has arrived – but will it reach the acclaim of its predecessors?

Reggie originally thought Metroid: Other M would be a “killer moment” for the series
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
To say the least, Metroid: Other M was a different take on the classic franchise. Nintendo handed primary development off to Team Ninja, the team behind Ninja Gaiden. The title also took on a greater story emphasis compared to past entries. Ultimately it earned a mixed reception.
As it turns out, former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime initially had very high hopes for the title. On the latest episode of Kinda Funny Gamescast, he singled out Metroid: Other M as the game that didn’t hit the mass market the way he originally expected.

[Preview] Time on Frog Island
Posted on 2 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in Previews, Switch | 0 comments
It seems with every passing year we get more and more creative minds in the indie space expanding certain genres and what it means to perceive gameplay within them. One of the more popular areas of growth and reach we’ve seen in recent memory is through the guise of simulators – whether they may be farming sims, life sims, etc. – and how their flexibility can create such a creative playground for forward-thinking ideas that make for cathartic, memorable, and almost addictive experiences. Time on Frog Island, formerly known as Trading Time: A Croak Tale, is next up in a slew of releases in an ever-growing genre that seems to push ideas and the concept of sims forward with each new title – however inspired they may be by the giants of the genre – and it’s a pleasure to have had an early look at the game on Switch to see just where the minds at Half Past Yellow lie and how they’re making their version of what it means to be stranded on an island and having to start from scratch.
