The Lion King and Aladdin HD remasters on the way for Switch
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Update: This is now confirmed and will be releasing on Switch. See the image below (thanks GameXplain).
Original: During the SNES/SEGA Genesis era, games were made based on Aladdin and The Lion King. Many years later, it’s rumored that the two will be returning on new platforms.
HD remasters for Aladdin and Lion King were allegedly announced at the GameStop Managers Conference today. Twitter user wolverinefactor says they’ll be arriving on “all systems” (which would presumably include Switch) in October. The original soundtracks and SNES/Genesis versions will be included.
We won’t have to wait long to find out if there’s truth to today’s report. Apparently, GameStop will be opening pre-orders tomorrow.

[Nintendo Everything Podcast] – episode #43 – Gamescom: WE DO IT! (feat Avalanche Reviews)
Posted on 5 years ago by Oni Dino(@Oni_Dino) in Podcast | 0 comments
Hello, my Chocobos and Cactuars! This week on NEP, we’ve got the simultaneous worst and best episode yet! We’ve got Jared of Avalanche Reviews guesting in, but Galen’s mic crapped out once or twice, so his commentary is a little light in a few spots.
But Jared is here to get super nerdy with us about upscaling output video on retro consoles, as all three of us bond over Resident Evil and the best boys of YouTube. In particular, Jared talks about getting the best picture possible out of the SNES, N64 and GCN consoles; the Framemeister; and technical nonsense of video and retro graphics explained in easy-to-understand detail.
If you’re enjoying NEP, please consider giving us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts, aka new iTunes. It’s incredibly helpful in getting us exposed to new listeners through algorithms, so we would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you for listening!

Monolith Soft boss unsure about dabbling with other genres outside of RPGs
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
You may recall an interview conducted by Japanese outlet 4Gamer earlier this year with Monolith Soft boss Tetsuya Takahashi and Bandai Namco’s Katsuhiro Harada. It was here we learned that Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has sold 1.73 million copies as of March 2019.
That same interview also had some interesting discussion about Nintendo and Monolith Soft, which we’ve now translated. At one point, Takahashi was asked about possibly experimenting with other genres, to which he seemed unsure about given Monolith’s history and his love of the genre. Takahashi compared the situation to manga artist Hirohiko Araki, who said he would never draw anything other than JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.
