pikmin future

In a new video we’re sharing today, we’re thinking about the future of Pikmin.

At this point, the series has been around for a couple of decades. For some reason though, it doesn’t feel like it and Pikmin still feels fresh to me – maybe because there are only three mainline games (a number that Splatoon is already reaching in seven years). Nintendo seems to be very fond of the IP, promoting it outside of the main games with animations, a 3D spin-off, and now the recently-released mobile title Pikmin Bloom.

With all of this in mind, in today’s video, I decided to talk about the current situation of the series: eight years without a new game, a lot of reports about a “Pikmin 4”, a recent port of Pikmin 3 for the Switch, and now a new mobile game. What do you think lies ahead for the future of the Pikmin series? Watch the video below and share your opinion in the comments.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Kale Super Saiyan 2

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2’s new Legendary Pack 2 is just a few days away, and it’s been revealed that Kale (Super Saiyan 2) is joining the game. A free update is going live on November 4, with the actual DLC arriving one day later on November 5.

Kale will be playable in Legendary Pack 2 in her Super Saiyan 2 form thanks to Legendary Pack 2. She has the Ultimate Attack “Blaster Stream”, Super Attack “Blaster Cannon”, and Super Attack “Blaster Bomb”.

zelda ocarina of time prototype

Former Nintendo developer Giles Goddard has provided a first look at a prototype for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time that originally featured portals.

Earlier this year, we heard from Goddard that there was some experimentation very early on with an idea involving Hyrule Castle. Similar to Super Mario 64, players would access different parts of the map through these portals. The mechanic was ultimately scrapped and Nintendo ended up going with a more open design in the end as players visit areas by traveling through Hyrule Field.

nintendo scary

We’re just a little bit late, but here is our Halloween video! I’m a big fan of scary moments in Nintendo titles – those strange and dark instances in a game that is otherwise colorful and full of happiness. But recently, I get the feeling that things have changed as those moments are less present or sometimes very well hidden. Even so, they are still there.

In this video I highlight some of those more recent spooky moments in Nintendo games, commenting on how they’ve changed and the different approaches in various franchises. Featured titles range include Mario, Xenoblade, and more. For the full video, continue down below.

We’ve spoken to Fatal Frame producer Keisuke Kikuchi from Koei Tecmo a couple of times previously around the release of Fairy Tail on Switch. What some may not know is that Kikuchi has also been a longtime developer on the horror series. He’s been working on Fatal Frame since the very beginning when it started up two decades ago.

With the new version of Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water on Switch from Koei Tecmo, the franchise is now making a bit of a comeback. We spoke with Kikuchi to talk about the possibility of more remasters, the Hollywood movie, collaborations, and more.

Our full discussion can be found below.

ace attorney best cases

Japanese magazine Famitsu recently conducted an online survey pertaining to the Ace Attorney series, with fans asked to vote on topics like the best characters and cases. This comes in celebration of the franchise’s 20th anniversary. A total of 1,394 responses were recorded.

Below are the notable excerpts from the survey:

Nintendo Switch Online saw a big upgrade this week in the form of its new Expansion Pass tier. The main draw right now is the addition of N64 and SEGA Genesis games. Next week, those that have Animal Crossing: New Horizons will also be able to access the new Happy Home Paradise DLC while their subscription is active. All bonuses from the standard Nintendo Switch Online subscription like SNES and NES titles are also included.

Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pass isn’t exactly cheap at $50 a year for an individual membership, and some don’t feel that the price hike is worth it. Additionally, there’s been a mixed reception to how N64 games are functioning. At the same time, some people are happy with the service so far.

So how are you feeling about Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pass? Did you subscribe to the service this week? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below.

The Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service has been a popular topic concerning Nintendo recently. The way in which the company handled the addition of new features to its online plan was received with a lot of feedback and a good amount of criticism. Initially the biggest problem was pricing, but now after this week’s launch that happened on October 25, some fans are complaining about a number of elements pertaining to the quality of the service, including emulation and online stability.

For today’s video, I decided to record a video not alone, but with my colleague and reviewer here on Nintendo Everything, Dennis. We discussed some interesting points from this whole situation in our lengthy video – I hope that you guys enjoy it. Check out the full talk below.

When you think of Fatal Frame, one of the first things that comes to mind is the Camera Obscura. However, when the series originally began, the development team actually considered a few other objects instead.

Nintendo Everything recently spoke with Keisuke Kikuchi, the producer of the Fatal Frame. There was some talk about the new release of Maiden of Black Water on Switch, but also discussion about the franchise and general. And when asked if there were other objects that were initially thought about before settling on the camera, he said:
