Rumor: Nintendo ending submissions for new 3DS / Wii U eShop games as of April 2022
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Rumor has it that Nintendo is less than a year away from accepting submissions for games on the 3DS and Wii U eShops.
Impact Game Station claims to have received an email, likely from a developer, that outlines plans for the end of new titles. The supposed deadline will go into effect on April 1, 2022, which is when Nintendo’s next fiscal year starts. Developers are advised to have their projects “lotcheck approved latest within 3 months after the submission deadline.”

Valve on Switch and Steam Deck comparisons, says they were designed around differing philosophies
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch | 0 comments
Last week, Valve unveiled its new Steam Deck system. The device has drawn plenty of comparisons to Switch since it’s capable of playing big games on the go (with docking support as well) and in some ways reminds gamers of Nintendo’s console from a design standpoint.
Valve itself has now commented on those comparisons. Designer Greg Coomer is the first to weigh in, telling IGN that Switch a “great device,” but feels the company is targeting a different audience.
He said:
Atlus hasn’t forgotten about Etrian Odyssey and the new project that was teased
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
The Etrian Odyssey series was prevalent on DS, and even more so on 3DS. There have been several mainline entries, remakes, and even crossovers with the Mystery Dungeon series.
Etrian Odyssey Nexus, the latest title in the franchise, initially debuted in 2018 so it hasn’t been terribly long since the last game. But fans are curious to know what’s coming next. Atlus seemed to tease what looked to be “the next stage” of Etrian Odyssey back in 2018, though we haven’t heard anything since.

Nintendo leak lists scrapped DS projects, including Pokemon Pinball, Geist DS, PLUCKER proposal from Magic the Gathering creator
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
Earlier this week, we heard about a whole bunch of Wii projects that were left on the cutting room floor, including a Metroid game from Intelligent Systems. We now have the equivalent from the DS side of things. Once again, this news comes from the latest Nintendo leaks as part of the company’s overall “gigaleak”.
One notable revelation is that it appears Metroid Prime Pinball developer Fuse was once planning a new Pokemon Pinball game for DS, and it would have included Wi-Fi support. We also have confirmation about the long-rumored Geist DS – complete with online play. Also, there’s something here called “PLUCKER” – a strategy game proposed by Magic the Gathering creator Richard Garfield.
Here’s the full roundup regarding DS details uncovered from this week’s Nintendo leak, courtesy of MondoMega:

New EarthBound 64 footage emerges from Nintendo Company Report 1998 / SpaceWorld 1997
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Videos | 0 comments
Things have never been quite easy for the EarthBound series. Mother 3 in particular went through a very troubled development cycle having been in the works for multiple Nintendo consoles. It was also planned as a 3D title at one point as EarthBound 64 for the N64 before being scrapped. Mother 3 did ultimately release as a 2D game on the Game Boy Advance, but it has never received English localization.
A couple of years ago, we did receive a new look at EarthBound 64 thanks to a video taken at SpaceWorld 1996.
Zen64 has now managed to obtain the Nintendo Company Report 1998 via an auction, which contains more footage from the game. This ties in with SpaceWorld 1997.
Here’s the video in full:

Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Stemming from today’s Nintendo leaks and the overall “gigaleak”, an internal company document has been spotted that reveals plans for early games on Wii – and projects that were cancelled.
To say the least, there are some very interesting titles listed. One of the highlights is a Metroid game from Intelligent Systems, which would have launched after Metroid Prime. It also appears that a sequel to Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix was once being considered.
Here’s the full roundup of items included in the document (which also includes tidbits on released games), courtesy of MondoMega:
