Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk | 0 comments
Nintendo dropped another Nintendo Direct on us a few days ago. It’s been all about third-parties over the summer, but not this week. To celebrate the 35th anniversary of Super Mario, fans were treated to all sorts of news and announcements.
There were obviously a few key highlights. Super Mario 3D All-Stars was finally confirmed, bringing Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy to Switch. Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury, a port of the Wii U title with new content and features, was also revealed. We also heard about Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, Super Mario Bros. 35, and Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. for the first time. Oh, and the original Super Mario All-Stars dropped on Nintendo Switch Online. There was other news that you can catch up on in the announcement recap here.
So how’d you feel about the Super Mario 35th Anniversary Direct and everything that was shown? Which games do you plan on playing? Let us know in the comments below.
[Review] RPG Maker MV
Posted on 3 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: September 8, 2020
Developer: Kadokawa
Publisher: NIS America
When RPG Maker Fes came out on 3DS years ago and I had the pleasure of reviewing it, I spent countless hours creating short titles as I learned the basics of game development in an intuitive fashion. Being able to not only create, but share your work with others while having a seemingly endless supply of content made it a consistently great time for those that wanted to play simple experiences on-the-go. Even better, despite its name, RPG Maker lends itself nicely other sorts of genres as well. RPG Maker MV on Switch now sees the application migrate to Nintendo’s newest platform. Despite having one less screen, the system lends itself well as a creative canvas to see video game ideas come to life with a retro aesthetic.

World of Tanks: Blitz dev would be open to an Advance Wars collaboration
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
World of Tanks: Blitz has seen some rather interesting collaborations. Over the years, the game has teamed up with franchises like Valkyria Chronicles and Girls und Panzer, which wasn’t exactly expected. So when we were given the chance to speak with Wargaming’s Thaine Lyman about the new Switch release, we had to ask if something like an Advance Wars collaboration could be in the cards.
Unsurprisingly, there’s nothing that’s actually in the works at present. However, Lyman did tell Nintendo Everything that Advance Wars is one of his favorite Nintendo franchises, and he’d “love to do something with that entire game universe.” He added, “The future with Nintendo is full of nothing but possibility.”
Lyman’s full words:

As spotted by Twitter user LuigiBlood, the dock had GameCube controller ports, SD card / GC Memory Card slot, AV out, and optional TV tuner + MPEG4 Encoder and wireless technology. Here’s a look at one of the proposals:
