Rumor: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Challenger Pack 4 will feature SNK
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 0 comments
Update (9/2): Nintendo has now removed the DLC page from its website. Some fans have also since been debating how much we should take the listing and the SNK copyright information at face value, but we’ll just have to wait and see when the official announcement is made.
Original (9/1): Super Smash Bros. Ultimate still has a couple of DLC characters left to reveal. Although Nintendo hasn’t officially shared their identities, we may have a clue about whats planned for the future.
Over on Nintendo UK’s page for Smash Bros. Ultimate, SNK is mentioned as part of the copyright information for Challenger Pack 4. This would suggest that the fourth DLC release will feature a representative from Samurai Shodown, King of Fighters, or another one of SNK’s IPs. Either that’s happening, or it’s some sort of error.
We’ll keep you posted if we hear anything else regarding Smash Bros. Ultimate’s future DLC.

Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Daemon X Machina was first announced at E3 2018. The game then returned again for this year’s show, where a final September launch was announced. That comes off of a demo from earlier in 2019 in which players were able to share feedback with the development team.
A little while back, 4Gamer spoke with producer Kenichiro Tsukuda about Daemon X Machina. Before giving a brief status update on development progress and how the story is being treated, Tsukuda went in-depth about improvements and changes that have been implemented after fielding comments of those who tried out the demo. Tsukuda shared some interesting tidbits here, such as how the small text in Prototype Missions only happened due to an error in the code.

[Let’s Talk] Nintendo remakes you’d like to see
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk | 0 comments
Remakes and re-releases are showing no sign of slowing down in the gaming industry. For its part, Nintendo has produced quite a few remakes of its own. Zelda: Link’s Awakening, a redone version of the Game Boy classic, will soon be coming to Switch – and that’s just one example. Zelda has certainly seen its fair share of remakes, but other IPs like Metroid and Pokemon have been given the same treatment.
Is there an older Nintendo game that you hold near and dear to your heart that you’d like to be revitalized for the current era? That’s what the focus of our Let’s Talk topic this week. If you have any thoughts on the subject, please do share them with us in the comments.
[Review] Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution
Posted on 5 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: August 20, 2019
Developer: Other Ocean Interactive
Publisher: Konami
Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution gives fan of all ages and all eras a chance to have the experience of card gaming – from its collective nature, strategic building, and more – at home or on the go. While it doesn’t have the grab it once did, the franchise is alive and well and now has an incredibly high amount of cards. Yu-Gi-Oh! has always held a special place in my heart having grown up with it, despite me having fallen off around the time 5Ds was in circulation, so jumping back and learning so much of the new elements like pendulum and XYZ cards had a sort of thrill behind it, allowing me to catch up on all that I’ve missed. With Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution, it is exactly what it sounds like – the legacy of Yu-Gi-Oh! as a property, and the adventures of Yugi Muto throughout the history of the illustrious series.
