Atlus shares Catherine: Full Body streaming restrictions for Switch release, can’t share footage of the ending
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Catherine: Full Body isn’t exactly a new game. The original version came out about a decade ago, and the “Full Body” edition previously hit PlayStation platforms in 2019. Now Catherine is finding its way to Switch, and though it’s been around the block for awhile, Atlus still has some restrictions in place for video uploads and streaming.
Details regarding those restrictions were shared on Atlus’ official Japanese website. The company notes that videos of footage and audio from the game can only be used for personal use and cannot be used to make a profit. Additionally, the copyright information for “ATLUS” and “SEGA” need to be included. And perhaps most notable of all, players are forbidden from sharing videos and screenshots from the Golden Theater story mode, 6th day all the way to the ending.
Atlus has had similar restrictions in place for its other titles such as Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal. If Atlus shares an official statement for English players, we’ll pass that along.

[Nintendo Everything Podcast] – episode #86 – Tencent x Pokemon MOBA, Min Min in Smash
Posted on 3 years ago by Oni Dino(@Oni_Dino) in Podcast | 0 comments
This week on Nintendo Everything Podcast, it’s a celebration of China with Pokemon Unite and Min Min in Smash. It’s a news-focused episode with game announcements, debuts, updates, and a controversy. Suda51’s pixelated face mimics Andross in the No More Heroes 3 gameplay teaser, but we’re not deterred. We’re also just as unsure as Suda if it’ll release this year. We also celebrate the consumer-positive Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered’s lite version. Have any other games done something this generous before?
Check out links and timestamps below, and come hang out.

April was another strong month for Nintendo as far as Switch hardware sales in the United States are concerned. The system was again the best-selling platform in terms of both unit and dollar sales. We also heard that year-to-date dollar sales of Switch are the highest of any hardware platform ever.
It’s rare that we receive concrete sales data from the NPD, but we do actually have a few numbers this time around. According to Wedbush Securities media analyst Michael Pachter, Switch sold 808,000 units, which is more than his 400,000 estimate.

This week’s Super Smash Bros. Ultimate presentation delivered on what was originally promised. In a 35-minute presentation, director Masahiro Sakurai unveiled the game’s newest DLC character. Min Min, coming from ARMS, goes live on June 29.
Sakurai went over Min Min’s moveset in-depth and also showcased the new Spring Stadium stage. Other than that, we also got a first look at the Joker and Hero amiibo. Oh, and Vault Boy is joining the game as a new Mii Fighter costume. Who could have predicted that?
Now that the broadcast has ended, how are you feeling about Min Min’s inclusion in Smash Bros. Ultimate? Were you happy with the choice, or did you want to see a different ARMS character make the cut? Are you planning on picking up the Vault Boy Mii Fighter outfit? Let us know in the comments below.

[Review] Mr. Driller DrillLand
Posted on 3 years ago by Campbell(@CampbellSGill) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch (eShop)
Release date: June 25, 2020
Developer: Bandai Namco
Publisher: Bandai Namco
Mr. Driller DrillLand is a relic of a lost time. Initially released in 2002 on the GameCube in Japan, this classic entry in the Mr. Driller series is finally arriving in the rest of the world for the first time through this remastered release on Switch. It feels like a swansong to the classic arcade puzzle game formula – it has all the simplicity, penny-pinching difficulty, and endless addictive qualities that have made arcade games so memorable for decades, all polished up to perfection thanks to its immaculate audio-visual presentation and excellent gameplay variety. And with new HD visuals and a few modern adjustments in the Switch version, there’s never been a better time to dig in.

Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Super Nintendo World isn’t opening this summer as originally planned. Universal Studios and Nintendo originally hoped to have everything ready in time for the 2020 Olympics, but it simply wasn’t possible due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Universal Studios Japan provided an update today, officially confirming that Super Nintendo World will not open this summer – which is hardly surprising. The theme park could debut this fall, though Nikkei reports it could be pushed back to 2021 depending on what takes place with coronavirus infections going forward.
