Super Mario Maker 2 doesn’t let you play with friends online, random players only
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
As we found out in the recent Nintendo Direct, Super Mario Maker 2 supports online play. There’s just one major piece of related news that wasn’t shared at the time.
Super Mario Maker 2 only lets you play with random players online. No matter whether you’re interested in co-op or competitive action, the same rule applies. That means you can’t connect with friends online.

[Review] Assassins Creed III Remastered
Posted on 5 years ago by Edan(@@Virtualboi92) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: May 21, 2019
Developer: Ubisoft
Publisher: Ubisoft
Do you remember your first experience with Assassins Creed? The inaugural entry in Ubisoft’s hit series was a driving force of the Xbox 360 and PS3’s launch – a bold new idea with ample room to innovate and expand over the course of a generation. Since then we’ve sliced and swan-dived our way through key moments in history, with a personal highlight being the swashbuckling antics of Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag. We’ve also seen a near complete shift in the franchise’s framework with recent entries Assassin’s Creed Origins and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, which renewed interest considerably for current-gen console owners. With such a wide ranging suite of ideas, concepts and executions at hand, it strikes me as odd that Ubisoft have chosen to bring such a divisive snapshot of the series’ history to the Switch.

This is the first 3DS update since the end of 2018. The patch notes have generally remained the same though, with the latest major upgrade having been pushed to users way back in 2015.

2019 Pokemon press conference to cover “a number of topics of interest to Pokemon fans”

While we mentioned this slightly in our Pokemon Direct post, we wanted to make a separate note of a Pokemon press conference (also known as the Pokemon Business Strategy presentation) taking place on May 28 / May 29. We’ve received an English press notice about the event from The Pokemon Company, so that indicates it’ll be rather noteworthy. According to The Pokemon Company, it will “cover a number of topics of interest to Pokemon fans.”
You can watch the conference at the following times:
[Review] Team Sonic Racing
Posted on 5 years ago by Campbell(@CampbellSGill) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: May 21, 2019
Developer: Sumo Digital
Publisher: SEGA
By its very nature, a Sonic racing game is a strange prospect. If Sonic can run around at the speed of sound, why would he even need to use a racecar to go fast in the first place? However, this discrepancy hasn’t stopped SEGA from pumping out Sonic-themed racing games over the years, from Sonic R all the way back on the ill-fated Sega Saturn to 2012’s acclaimed Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. Team Sonic Racing is the series’ latest motorsports effort, and while it certainly won’t challenge Mario Kart’s status as the supreme kart racer on the market, it still provides plenty of racing thrills for everyone to enjoy, as well as some special nods for longtime fans.

[Let’s Talk] E3 2019 hopes and dreams
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk | 0 comments
Two weeks from today, E3 will technically be kicking off. Nintendo has three tournaments scheduled for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Super Mario Maker 2, and Splatoon 2 on June 8. Companies will also begin to hold conferences and presentations on June 9, with the much-anticipated Nintendo Direct planned for June 11. The E3 festivities will then continue through June 13.
We’re bound to get announcements throughout the entirety of E3 week, but the Nintendo Direct is when fans of the Big N will be paying attention in particular. Nintendo has said it will focus on software planned for Switch in 2019, but we’re bound to get a reveal or two. The spotlight should also be put on the likes of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, Pokemon Sword/Shield, Animal Crossing, Luigi’s Mansion, Astral Chain, and more.
Since we’re so close to E3, we want to know about your hopes and dreams for the show. If Nintendo were to announce one new game, what would you want it to be? What are your expectations for E3 in general? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below.
