Rumor: Multiple studios in possession of 4K dev kit for Switch
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 0 comments
Update: Nintendo has issued a statement about Bloomberg’s report. Read the company’s response below.
A news report on Sept. 30, 2021(JST) falsely claims that Nintendo is supplying tools to drive game development for a Nintendo Switch with 4K support. To ensure correct understanding among our investors and customers, we want to clarify that this report is not true.
We also want to restate that, as we announced in July, we have no plans for any new model other than Nintendo Switch – OLED Model, which will launch on October 8, 2021.
Original: Rumors of a 4K-compatibile Switch console aren’t dying down, despite the announcement of the OLED model announced a few months ago that will be releasing in less than two weeks.
Given the amount of reports that have previously surfaced, some had expected Nintendo to unveil an upgraded Switch that would provide additional power and support 4K resolution. However, that did not end up happening. The Switch OLED comes with a bigger and improved screen as well as upgrades like a sturdier kickstand, but the actual internals haven’t changed.

[Review] Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania
Posted on 3 years ago by Nicholas Serpa in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: October 5, 2021
Developer: SEGA
Publisher: SEGA
I experienced a wide range of conflicting emotions while playing Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania. I often caught myself laughing, usually after successfully guiding my expressive, energetic monkey across a particularly gauntlet-esque stage with only seconds to spare. Just as often I found myself sighing or yelling “nonononoooo,” typically as my encapsulated simian plummeted off a platform to its doom… again. But no matter how well I was doing (or not) at playing Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania, I was almost always having a wonderful time – and considering that this remaster contains stages and minigames from three of what may be the best games in the franchise, I expect I’ll be doing so for a long time.

A new trailer for Pokemon Legends: Arceus has just gone live, and it’s introduced us to a new creature known as Kleavor.
Kleavor is a Bug/Rock Pokemon, coming in at 5’11” and weighing 196.2 pounds. It’s able to evolve from Scyther due to special minerals located in Hisui. Parts of the creature’s body have hardened into stone, and these stone parts can chip during battle.

[Review] Hot Wheels Unleashed
Posted on 3 years ago by Nicholas Serpa in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: September 30, 2021
Developer: Milestone
Publisher: Milestone
There was a time when games based on popular toys were a dime a dozen; it used to be impossible to walk into the video games section of your local supercenter without seeing shelves filled with licensed games, many of middling quality. That’s not really the case today, as many of the smaller studios that previously produced those types of games have since shut down, been absorbed, or are now producing mobile games instead. So, I was pleasantly surprised not only that Milestone announced Hot Wheels Unleashed in 2021 as a major new release for the franchise, but also that the game had potential to be of higher quality and creativity than previous games. In fact, Hot Wheels Unleashed feels like a game built primarily for today’s adults who grew up with Hot Wheels years (decades?) ago rather than kids – a bold choice. But does Hot Wheels Unleashed manage to be a good game underneath its many layers of die-cast nostalgia?
