Atlus hasn’t forgotten about Etrian Odyssey and the new project that was teased
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
The Etrian Odyssey series was prevalent on DS, and even more so on 3DS. There have been several mainline entries, remakes, and even crossovers with the Mystery Dungeon series.
Etrian Odyssey Nexus, the latest title in the franchise, initially debuted in 2018 so it hasn’t been terribly long since the last game. But fans are curious to know what’s coming next. Atlus seemed to tease what looked to be “the next stage” of Etrian Odyssey back in 2018, though we haven’t heard anything since.

Nintendo leak lists scrapped DS projects, including Pokemon Pinball, Geist DS, PLUCKER proposal from Magic the Gathering creator
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
Earlier this week, we heard about a whole bunch of Wii projects that were left on the cutting room floor, including a Metroid game from Intelligent Systems. We now have the equivalent from the DS side of things. Once again, this news comes from the latest Nintendo leaks as part of the company’s overall “gigaleak”.
One notable revelation is that it appears Metroid Prime Pinball developer Fuse was once planning a new Pokemon Pinball game for DS, and it would have included Wi-Fi support. We also have confirmation about the long-rumored Geist DS – complete with online play. Also, there’s something here called “PLUCKER” – a strategy game proposed by Magic the Gathering creator Richard Garfield.
Here’s the full roundup regarding DS details uncovered from this week’s Nintendo leak, courtesy of MondoMega:

New EarthBound 64 footage emerges from Nintendo Company Report 1998 / SpaceWorld 1997
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Videos | 0 comments
Things have never been quite easy for the EarthBound series. Mother 3 in particular went through a very troubled development cycle having been in the works for multiple Nintendo consoles. It was also planned as a 3D title at one point as EarthBound 64 for the N64 before being scrapped. Mother 3 did ultimately release as a 2D game on the Game Boy Advance, but it has never received English localization.
A couple of years ago, we did receive a new look at EarthBound 64 thanks to a video taken at SpaceWorld 1996.
Zen64 has now managed to obtain the Nintendo Company Report 1998 via an auction, which contains more footage from the game. This ties in with SpaceWorld 1997.
Here’s the video in full:

Stemming from today’s Nintendo leaks and the overall “gigaleak”, an internal company document has been spotted that reveals plans for early games on Wii – and projects that were cancelled.
To say the least, there are some very interesting titles listed. One of the highlights is a Metroid game from Intelligent Systems, which would have launched after Metroid Prime. It also appears that a sequel to Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix was once being considered.
Here’s the full roundup of items included in the document (which also includes tidbits on released games), courtesy of MondoMega:

New Nintendo leaks detail cancel iQue GameCube, show early Wii Remote designs, more
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch, Wii | 0 comments
Last year, a ton of Nintendo leaks occurred (otherwise known as the “gigaleak”) after data was stolen from the company’s servers. It brought us looks at beta Pokemon designs, early sprites for a few classics, some interesting proposals for the GameCube, and much more.
Things have been quiet over the past few months, but we’re now hearing that even more leaks have sprung up. Twitter user forestillusion has been documenting the news today and says it “contains source code to a Wii Service program (an upgraded version of GameCube Service Disc), and some documentation for various systems including the Nintendo Switch.” There’s also a new prototype build for Pokemon: Lets Go, Eevee, details on the cancelled iQue GameCube, early Wii Remote prototypes, and more.
Here’s the roundup of tidbits:

[Review] Akiba’s Trip: Hellbound & Debriefed
Posted on 2 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: July 20, 2021
Developer: Acquire
Publisher: Marvelous (XSEED)
Akiba’s Trip is one of those odd niche titles that has earned success thanks to its unique beat ’em up, strip ’em down gameplay. While it has sold over half a million copies since its debut many years ago, the game’s formula has rarely been replicated. After it received a manga and even an anime alongside it, it’s a wonder why it took so long to get a true sequel (not counting Akiba’s Beat). Akiba’s Trip: Hellbound & Debriefed isn’t the follow-up to what some would consider a cult classic, but it is a remaster of the original PSP title that was never localized outside of Japan, marking the debut of the game in the west ten years later. It’s both a blast from the past and simultaneously dated as its age undoubtedly shows and offers very little in terms of additions and changes.
