It’s time to snitch on your Switch!

Nintendo consoles have been known for their durability. The N64 was built to survive the 90’s and the Game Boy was not only the size of a brick but built like one too. These “bricks” were the foundation that paved the way for Nintendo’s future in both the home and console market. But Nintendo’s hardware sometimes isn’t as hard wearing as it used to be and for many people, myself included. I love my Switch, you love your Switch (probably), that girl you see on the bus each day loves her Switch. However, if you do have hardware issues, here’s your chance to have a good, safe, whinge.
SEGA leaves the door open to Shenmue I & II on Switch
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Prior to the Tokyo Game Show last week, a fan poll was held to determine the most wanted SEGA Ages games for Switch. Jet Set Radio topped the list, but right behind it was Shenmue I & II. While both of these titles were just recently re-released on modern platforms, Switch was left out of the equation. Perhaps that could that change in the future.
4Gamer interviewed localization director Hiroji Noguchi and localization producer Eigo Kasahara around TGS. The site brought up the interest in seeing Shenmue on Switch, and neither of them shot down the possibility. In fact, bringing Shenmue to Switch is something Kasahara would like to consider.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is the best-selling entry in the series. It’s already a million seller having sold 1.42 million copies as of June 2018.
One reason for Xenoblade Chronicles 2’s success is due to strong sales in the west. Speaking with USgamer, Monolith Soft executive director Tetsuya Takahashi revealed that the RPG exceeded the company’s expectations, especially in the west. The new Torna expansion is also exceeding expectations on the whole.
Junichi Masuda says the team was initially told Pokemon was too cute to have success in the US

As many people know, Pokemon is an incredibly successful franchise today. But that wasn’t always the case. Before Pokemon exploded around the world, there was uncertainty as to how it would perform in the United States.
Game Freak’s Junichi Masuda mentioned to USgamer in an email interview that the team was told “that the Pokemon were too cute to be successful in the U.S. and that we should change the design of the characters.” He had also some concerns that Pokemon wouldn’t be accepted “for what it was” outside of Japan.
