[Review] Miitopia (Switch)
Posted on 3 years ago by Elias in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: May 21, 2021
Developer: Nintendo / Grezzo
Publisher: Nintendo
Miitopia is an adventure where you can insert yourself, your friends, your family, your boss, your favorite comedian…. really anyone into the game and adventure alongside them. Different roles are needed throughout the journey – kings, townsfolk, guards, terribly evil overlords. You get the gist. There are many faces that you’ll need to create, or if you want to you can stick to the default ones provided, but who wants to do that in a game where some of the best fun is had in beating up an iteration of your high school bully and making the hyper child in the starting town into your own little brother because it’s just the perfect fit for him? And so what if you make the king into the literal Henry the VIII? Plenty of people do that, I’m sure! Don’t let anything stop you. Insert your friends, insert your foes, and just have fun with it. This games shines most when you let go and embrace the silliness of it all.

Sonic creator and Balan Wonderworld director Yuji Naka seemingly gone from Square Enix
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
After joining the company and creating just a single game there, Yuji Naka is apparently no longer with Square Enix. Naka, who directed the title and is often attributed as the creator of Sonic the Hedgehog, updated his LinkedIn and Facebook pages to show that he has moved on. It appears that Naka left Square Enix on April 30.
Naka told IGN last year that Balan Wonderworld was his “once change” to create a full-scale platformer.
Balan Wonderworld launched on Switch this past March. Unfortunately, the critical reception was negative.
