[Review] Neva
Posted on 6 months ago by Dawn in Reviews, Switch eShop | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: October 15, 2024
Developer: Nomada Studio
Publisher: Devolver Digital
Nearly six years after its release, I still find myself occasionally thinking about my experience with Gris. The debut title of Nomada Studio, it was a visually stunning experience that explored deeply personal themes of loss and acceptance, and it left a lasting impact on me in a way few other games can claim. I was keen to try out Neva, the studio’s second title, which I found feels no less poignant for its exploration of our relationship with the world and one another, and is a more than worthy spiritual successor.

Game Freak, the main developer of Pokemon, appears to have been hit with a significant hack. As a result, source code for various games, behind-the-scenes information, and more has started to leak online.
Thus far we know that source code for Pokemon Heart Gold / Soul Silver and Black 2 / White 2 have surfaced. A few codenames are also popping up, including “Gaia” – which is apparently what Gen 10 is going by internally. Speaking of which, the new gen is apparently being developed for “Ounce”, which supposedly confirms Switch 2’s codename. And for those curious, “Ikkaku” is the codename for Pokemon Legends: Z-A.

[Let’s Talk] Will you be picking up Nintendo Clock: Alarmo?
Posted on 6 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Let's Talk | 0 comments
Leave it to Nintendo to throw out a curveball. Rather than unveiling its next console which is what many fans are anticipating, this week the company instead announced something that pretty much has nothing to do with gaming. Nintendo Clock: Alarmo was not only revealed, but given an initial, limited release as well.
Nintendo Clock: Alarmo is an interactive alarm clock with themes based on a few different games, including Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey. The device uses a motion sensor to detect when you’ve woken up and have gotten out of bed. Records are also included to track how much you move around in your sleep and more. We’ve got it all covered a bit more here.
What are your thoughts on Nintendo Clock: Alarmo? Have you already ordered a unit or will you be picking it up at some point? Let us know in the comments below.

In a new video from Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai, he spoke about Satoru Iwata and shared a tidbit of information that the late Nintendo president helped come up with the name.
Iwata is the one that felt that “Brothers” would be a good fit. That part of the name is a suggestion that the characters “were friends who were settling a little disagreement” rather than having a hardcore fight.
Sakurai said the following about Iwata and his involvement with the Super Smash Bros. name:
