Original Pokemon games almost didn’t have multiplayer battles
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
According to Pokemon producer Shigeki Morimoto, the original entries in the series almost left out multiplayer battles.
That news comes from a Japanese Pokedex book from 1996, which was recently translated by Did You Know Gaming. Morimoto mentioned how he thought multiplayer battles “would be a pain to program”. Additionally, Game Freak was running out of time. Nintendo, however, essentially demanded for the feature to be included.
Why Nintendo Directs will never go away

We’re officially in the middle of E3 time (or when E3 would’ve been), and that means that Nintendo Direct discussion is heating up again.

And, furthermore, what if Nintendo doesn’t air one ever again?

Cozy Grove 2 announced
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Spry Fox has revealed that its working on Cozy Grove 2, which will act as a follow up to the acclaimed life-sim game.
The studio has provided the original Cozy Grove with a bunch of updates since launch. However, Spry Fox explained that it has started to become “increasingly difficult for us as tech debt builds up, despite our many attempts over the past year to tackle that.” Additionally, “most of the revenue and platform financial support that pays for all these free updates came to us over a year ago with the launch of the game.” Spry Fox ultimately felt that moving forward with a sequel makes the most sense.
