Mario Golf: Super Rush and the “free updates” model
Posted on 3 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.

Gal Gun: Double Peace, which first debuted in 2015 in Japan (followed by the west a year later), has been announced for Switch. It will release for the console as part of a new definitive edition.

Nintendo loses court battle over eShop pre-order cancellation policy
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
It’s been almost three years on the dot since Germany took Nintendo to court over the inability to cancel pre-orders on the eShop, particularly regarding Switch. About a year later, the case was won in Nintendo’s favor. You may recall that the decision was being appealed right after the initial was announced. And finally, there’s some new movement.
The main takeaway is that Nintendo’s win has been revoked, as the appeal court has determined that the company is in breach of law within Europe. Nintendo initially claimed to be in an “untenable” position given how the company is following the letter of the law stating “performance” has begun at the time of payment. However, the court ruled that “performance” doesn’t start until the game is actually playable.

Why Mario Kart 8 is a phenomenon
Posted on 3 years ago by Luiz in Features, Switch, Videos, Wii U | 0 comments
In the last financial report from Nintendo, we learned that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe sales have reached 38.74 million units, surpassing Mario Kart Wii as the best-selling game in the franchise. Being a “deluxe” edition of a Wii U title, I found it surprising how incredibly successful the game is.
There are obvious reasons for those crazy numbers such as the Switch’s success and the overall popularity of Mario Kart. However, in a new video today, I decided to analyze what exactly makes it special on the inside, why the game is so universally approachable, and how it differs from past games in the series. You can check the video down below.

[Review] Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl
Posted on 3 years ago by Elias in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: November 19, 2021
Developer: ILCA
Publisher: Nintendo
Pokemon Diamond and Pearl originally came to us here in the west back in 2007. I was a senior in high school when I first got my copy and ended up stopping my clock in game at 999 hours. To put it lightly, I was hooked. The series’ first entry on the DS gave us a lush new region to explore with interesting additions like the Poketch and the ability to select moves in battle that utilized the system’s touchscreen. Along with being able to bring over Pokemon from the previous generation of games, a more complete Pokedex was possible, and it was easier to attain before. Nostalgia aside, it’s now 2021 and we have the remakes in hand with Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Pokemon Shining Pearl on Switch. Do the Sinnoh games live up to the hype, or should we have left this one… underground?

Shun Sasaki, a project planner that has worked on the Danganronpa series, has addressed the possibility of porting Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls to Switch.
Sasaki previously spoke to Famitsu discussing the series’ 10th anniversary. The interview was conducted both to commemorate the big milestone and celebrate the fact that the franchise has now made its debut on Switch. Sasaki was also asked about his thoughts on the possibility of a port of the spin-off title Ultra Despair Girls, which is currently only available on PlayStation platforms and PC.
