Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
The Game Awards 2021 are almost here with the show kicking off in a couple of hours, and we’ve got a live stream set up for the event.
New announcements and updates on previously-known titles are expected here. Nintendo often tends to have some sort of presence at the show, so there’s a good chance that the company will have something to highlight. Other than that, we should see a few third-party Switch games as well – the new Sonic project is expected to show up at the very least.

Sakurai says he’s been doing too much of the work himself on Smash Bros.
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
You can make the case that Super Smash Bros. is Masahiro Sakurai’s baby. He’s been there since the very start with the first entry on the N64, and since then, he’s directed every entry.
Going forward, it sounds like Sakurai would hope to have the development on Smash Bros. centered less around him. Speaking with The Verge, he mentioned that he’s “been doing too much of the work myself” and the series as it is “has too much of my personality poured into it.” For Smash Bros. to continue to succeed, he feels the need for the franchise to be about more than just one person’s vision.
Sakurai’s full words:
Sakurai says it’d be best not to assume there’ll always be a new Smash Bros.

Next Sonic game, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 movie confirmed for The Game Awards 2021
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch | 0 comments
The Game Awards 2021 will have not one, but two new Sonic debuts.
On the game side of things, SEGA intends to show off the next core 3D entry in the franchise. The project was originally announced for Switch earlier this year with a brief CG teaser. Not much is known at present, though that should change come tomorrow. SEGA has thus far only committed to a 2022 release window. We actually don’t have a confirmed name just yet.

Mario Golf: Super Rush and the “free updates” model
Posted on 2 years ago by Luiz in Features, Switch, Videos | 0 comments
I had a good time playing Mario Golf: Super Rush earlier this year when the game launched. New modes such as Speed Golf and Battle Golf were nice additions, particularly for multiplayer matches. But after a while, I saw myself rapidly drifting away from the game and simply waiting for more updates as Nintendo promised.
I must confess that now, after all the updates, I feel a little disappointed with the game in general, and that’s what I talk about in the video below. I go over how the “free updates” model that Nintendo has been using for a while now may actually be doing more bad than good for the games developed by Camelot. You can watch the full video down below and feel free to share your experience with the game.
