Square Enix explains why NEO: The World Ends With You isn’t called The World Ends With You 2
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
When a game receives a sequel, there’s a pretty easy way to give it a title. A number is often slapped on at the end, and that’s pretty much it. When it comes to the next The World Ends with You game though, Square Enix went with a different approach.
The World Ends With You, which is getting a sequel after more than a decade, won’t be called The World Ends With You 2. Square Enix instead decided to give it the name NEO: The World Ends With You.
Speaking with Destructoid, original director Tatsuya Kando explained:
[Let’s Talk] E3 2021 hopes and dreams
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk | 0 comments
Because of the coronavirus pandemic, there was no E3 last year. We did see some scattershot announcements throughout the summer, but it was pretty disorganized and we didn’t have a traditional gaming event. It even took Nintendo more than a year to produce a traditional Nintendo Direct.
E3 is finally back in 2021, though not completely in the way we’ve grown accustomed to. Since it’ll be digital only, many companies are planning online presentations. Several big companies have confirmed that they’ll be involved in some form. As far as Nintendo news is concerned, we’re most interested in the Big N itself, though we’ll be keeping an eye on the likes of Capcom, Ubisoft, Square Enix, Bandai Namco, XSEED Games / Marvelous, Warner Bros. Games, and Koch Media.
E3 starts on June 12, so we’re less than a month away from the big event. What are your hopes and dreams for the show? Is there anything you’d personally like to see be announced? Let us know in the comments below.

It’s been three years since the launch of Kirby Star Allies, but a new art book recently arrived in Japan. It included an interview with Shinya Kumazaki, the game’s director.
Kumazaki also left a message at the end of the book. After discussing some of the difficulties HAL Laboratory went through while making Star Allies, he also spoke vaguely about the series’ future. Kumazaki mentioned moving on to the “next phase” of Kirby and “planning for the next stage of our future.”
Kumazaki’s message, translated by Nintendo Everything, is as follows:

Nintendo discusses current scale of active users on Switch, “many” new titles planned for fiscal year
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
During a financial call last week, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa weighted in on the current scale of active users on Switch.
Perhaps as expected, the system saw “a substantial increase” after the launch of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, though that taped off slightly afterward. Things picked up again during the holidays. After decreasing again a bit after the new year, it sounds like there was another boost after the release of Monster Hunter Rise.
In relaying this information, Furukawa added that he believes Switch still has strong momentum and there are “many” new titles planned for the fiscal year.
Furukawa’s full words:
