3DS update out now (version 11.9.0-42)
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
The latest firmware update has gone live. As of today, all system owners can access version 11.9.0-42.
There really shouldn’t be much of a surprise as to what today’s update entails. Nintendo says: “Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience”.
This has been the case for 3DS since 2015. Nintendo has released updates periodically since then, but each one has carried the same notice.

Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu / Eevee now tracking 8% ahead of Pokemon X/Y in the UK
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee sales were initially down 5% compared to the opening week sales of Pokemon X and Pokemon Y. Three weeks later, and the story has changed. We’re now hearing that the Let’s Go titles are tracking 8% higher.
3DS also had a larger install base at the time. Pokemon X and Pokemon Y launched a year later in the dedicated portable’s lifecycle.
Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee sold three million copies over a three-day period. Last week, Nintendo announced that they’ve sold over 1.5 million copies in the United States alone since release.

Posted on 6 years ago by Eric Zauch in Podcast | 0 comments
Hello and welcome to the fifth episode of the Nintendo Everything Podcast! This week, the pair kick off with improv that goes into the dark timeline of Princess Toadstool. Then they flip open the Adventure Log, which Eric forgot to write in but Oni has him covered as he dives deep into Dead Cells, World of Final Fantasy, Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon. Lastly, they slide through the news with Skyward Sword on Switch, Nintendo’s creator program, and Oni predicts Koei Tecmo’s next game. Enjoy!
Sorry for those of you emailed in – we ran out of time but we will make sure to plan better next week.
Katamari Damacy Reroll is a good game with bad timing
Posted on 6 years ago by Eric Zauch in Features, News, Videos | 0 comments
I recently rolled up my sleeves and jumped into the rather small Katamari Damacy Reroll demo. Currently, it can only be downloaded on the Japanese eShop; however, it was announced that it will be releasing elsewhere alongside the game on December 7. As unfortunate as the date is, the demo was a lot of fun and convinced me to pick the game up in the future. Here’s what you need to know about this quirky little remaster.

Rumor: Nintendo wants a Zelda game on Switch every year
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo shipped Zelda: Breath of the Wild for Switch’s launch in 2017. Hyrule Warriors, another Zelda-themed title, was added to the system’s library earlier this year. This streak may continue in the future, as Eurogamer claims that “Nintendo is keen to have a Zelda game launch on Switch every year.”
The company has many possibilities at its disposal going forward. Last weekend, Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma seemingly teased Skyward Sword for Switch. Nintendo could also bring over the Wii U versions of Twilight Princess and Wind Waker. There also hasn’t been a new 2D Zelda in awhile, and we’re bound to get another 3D entry at some point – just not next year.
Meanwhile, a lot has been made about a recent comment from Game Informer editor Imran Khan who said on a podcast that “the next Zelda will probably be sooner than we think.”
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
