Nintendo has acquired Shiver Entertainment, the company just announced.
While Shiver worked on Scribblenauts Showdown, it’s largely known for its porting work. The studio previously helped to bring Scribblenauts Mega Pack, Mortal Kombat 1, Mortal Kombat 11, and Hogwarts Legacy to Switch.
Nintendo is making the acquisition from Embracer. Embracer previously picked up Shiver at the end of 2021.

Kirby Air Ride almost supported Dolby Surround audio. That’s according to Masahiro Sakurai, the game’s director.
Sakurai was speaking about the game during a live stream with Bayonetta creator Hideki Kamiya. The two participated in a live discussion event hosted by Hamster Corporation. Sakurai’s comments came about while discussing how he’d like publishers to improve the waiting time before each game begins.

The next Splatfest for Splatoon 3 is in the books for the Same Ol’ vs. Bucket List vs. Save the Day event, and we have the results. This time around, Nintendo asked what players would do at the world’s end.
At halftime, we saw that Bucket List had the slimmest of leads at 34.06 percent. Following in second was Same Ol’ with 33.36 percent. Save the Day was last, but just right behind at 32.58 percent.

[Review] Neptunia Game Maker R:Evolution
Posted on 7 months ago by Dawn in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: May 14, 2024
Developer: Compile Heart
Publisher: Idea Factory
I think the most surprising thing about Neptunia Game Maker R:Evolution is that it’s taken Compile Heart this long to produce it. Since her introduction in Megadimension Neptunia VII in 2015, the older Neptune has proven to be a fairly well-received and popular character in the franchise, and she has been long overdue for a game where she is the central protagonist. Now, finally, she stars as president of a game development studio, alongside three brand new characters, ready to depart on her own adventure. It is, I am pleased to say, one that is well worth experiencing, although perhaps not on the Switch if you have other options available.
Every stage in Splatoon 3, ranked
Posted on 7 months ago by Ethan in Features, Switch | 0 comments
As Splatoon 3’s content cycle comes to an end, we figured it’d be a good time to take a look at everything the game has to offer with a stages tier list.
At the time of writing, there are currently 23 stages in the game, and Sizzle Season 2024 is confirmed to be adding Lemuria Hub. In terms of quality, Splatoon 3 has had it kind of rough. In Splatoon 2, a good chunk of stages had several different routes to take. On stages like Kelp Dome and Skipper Pavillon, there was plenty of open space to hide away and claim turf. That’s not the case in Splatoon 3, however; for the most part, its stages are smaller and much more constrained, which winds up favoring long-rangers. This, in turn, makes it difficult for casual players to participate without being picked off by chargers and Splatlings. That’s not a very healthy trait for a game to have, and stages that exacerbate this issue will be reflected as such in our ranking.

10 of the best Shiny Pokemon of all time
Posted on 7 months ago by Ethan in Features, General Nintendo, Switch | 0 comments
We’ve compiled a list outlining ten of the best Shiny Pokemon of all time. Before we begin, do keep in mind that this isn’t an objective list. There are far more than ten out there there, so we won’t be able to cover all of the great shinies on this list alone.
Shiny Pokemon were first introduced in Pokemon Gold and Silver, and since then they’ve been sort of hit-or-miss. For every great-looking Shiny coloration, there’s another one out there that’s incredibly disappointing (we’re looking at you, Ceruledge). That being said, there are plenty of Shiny Pokemon worth hunting – and that’s what we’re here for today.
