Understanding Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl
Posted on 3 years ago by Luiz in Features, Switch, Videos | 0 comments
The remakes of the fourth Pokemon generation are finally arriving on Switch next week – specifically November 19 – with Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. However, they are not exactly what we expected. The Pokemon Company opted for a different approach this time with a faithful remake that’s really close to the original titles on DS, with a small number of quality of life improvements.
The announcement of Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl initially saw a mixed reception by fans – myself included. After watching some of the trailers over the past few months, I feel as though the general opinion is gaining a bit more positivity, though people are still cautiously hyped.

Miyamoto says Nintendo wants to try expanding 3D Mario in new ways

During the Q&A portion of Nintendo’s financial results briefing late last week, Shigeru Miyamoto was asked about the differences between 3D and 2D Mario. Rather than talking about the actual games, he instead decided to share background information on development starting with New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
We’ve heard about this a bit before, but Miyamoto mentioned that Nintendo had attempted to create more accessible and simpler Mario games starting with New Super Mario Bros. Wii, feeling that the series had become “more complicated.” However, with Super Mario Odyssey, it’s been enjoyed by “people of all generations” Because of this, Nintendo wants to try expanding 3D Mario “in new ways.”
Below are Miyamoto’s full comments regarding 2D vs. 3D Mario:

Nintendo interested in more than just Mario for visual content like movies
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
The 2022 Super Mario movie will be Nintendo’s first real foray into the movie business – unless you want to count the 1993 film that it didn’t have too much involvement with. But it sounds like this will only be the first of many additional projects in the future.
During Nintendo’s financial results briefing Q&A session last week, the company was asked if it’s working to develop visual content based on IP other than Mario. Shigeru Miyamoto took on the question, stating that Nintendo is looking to “actively utilize other IP” and “to make each title with care”. Miyamoto added: “We want to work diligently to build up a strong offering.”
Below are Miyamoto’s full comments on future visual content outside of Mario:

Nintendo again says Switch is at mid-point of its lifecycle, “considering many different things” for next system
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Last week, Nintendo reconfirmed what everyone pretty much assumed by mentioning that it has plans for another system following the Switch. One investor attempted to get more out of the company by asking about the next generation of hardware during the Q&A portion of a financial results briefing last week.
Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa responded and started out by discussing the current situation with Switch. Despite being nearly five years old, he reiterated that “the system is at the mid-point of its lifecycle” and “a foundation for growth has been laid that exceeds what we previously considered to be a conventional hardware lifecycle.”
