Square Enix cautious about flooding the market with HD-2D games
Posted on 4 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Square Enix has provided a fairly steady stream of HD-2D games since 2018, but the company is also a bit wary about flooding the market with those types of titles.
We already know that after the recent release of Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, Dragon Quest 1 and 2 are set to receive the same treatment next year. Producer Masaaki Hayasaka told Bloomberg that he’d also “love to consider” remakes for other entries as well. However, that will depend on reactions to Dragon Quest 3, and Square Enix doesn’t want to go overboard with HD-2D games at once.

Celebrating ten years of amiibo, Nintendo’s most successful experiment
Posted on 4 months ago by Ethan in Features, General Nintendo | 0 comments
This Thursday, November 21, marked a momentous occasion – the ten-year anniversary of amiibo, Nintendo’s beloved lineup of figurines and cards. Over the years, Nintendo has released over 200 unique figures and – if you count all the Animal Crossing cards – well over 800 amiibo in total. Given the recent news that the Nintendo Switch successor will include backwards compatibility with Switch software (and therefore amiibo functionality), it seems Nintendo is keen to continue increasing this number as the years go by. So today, we’re looking at the past, present, and future of amiibo figures, starting from its very beginning on this day ten years ago.
