Nintendo confirms that the Switch play time display issue will be fixed with an update, data not lost
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
A lot has been made over a new issue that has surfaced with Switch as the system rings in its first anniversary. For games that have been played over a year, the play time count in your profile is no longer displaying properly. Instead of showing how long you’ve played, the profile instead starts out by stating that you’ve started playing it “x days ago” – which doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.
Nintendo of America commented on the issue yesterday, indicating that the situation is being investigated and more news is coming soon. Nintendo’s Japanese support site now has further news about what has occurred.

Happy first anniversary, Switch
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Can you believe it’s already been a full year since Switch launched? It’s been a whirlwind for Nintendo, as the system has been more successful than anyone could have predicted.
Switch was released less than two months after its full unveiling following last year’s January presentation. Since then we’ve seen great game after great game, including Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Splatoon 2, and others – and that’s just on the first-party front. Many fantastic third-party games and hit indie titles have helped make Switch’s first year special.
Switch’s first year is officially in the books. We can’t wait to see what lies ahead for the console in the years to follow.
Here are a few messages from Nintendo and other developers:

Nintendo aware of Switch play time display issue, will share information “in the near future”
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
With the Switch starting to reach its first anniversary in some parts of the world, owners noticed an issue with the display of their play times. Instead of showing the proper count, games like Zelda had their totals wiped. Even if you played the game for 100 hours, Switch instead shows that it was “First played 0 days ago”.
One of the theories discussed is that this could be a bug. Nintendo has yet to confirm that officially, but the company has now commented on the situation.

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy for Switch confirmed for the west
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Recently announced for Japan, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy for Switch will be getting a western release as well. We’re waiting to hear about North America (presumably we’ll have news later today), but the European launch is also confirmed for April 26. It will be digital-only, unlike Japan.
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy is a compilation of the first three Ultimate Ninja Storm titles that lets players relive the story of Naruto Uzumaki from his days at the Ninja Academy to the 4th Great Ninja War. The package will include many of the DLC released for the original games such as Saskuke’s kimono costume, and allows fans to choose between heroes and villains like Naruto Uzumaki, Saskuke Uchiha, Pain or Obito Uchiha to lead into battle.
We have an English trailer for Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy below.

Switch profiles currently showing reset play times after one year
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
The Switch doesn’t have a traditional activity log like the 3DS, but play time is recorded. If you visit your profile, all of the games you’ve booted up will be listed along with how long you’ve played them.
Unfortunately, with Switch reaching its first anniversary in some parts of the world, users have discovered that their play times are being reset – or at least showing that way for now. For Zelda: Breath of the Wild for example, profiles are displaying “First played 0 days ago” instead of the proper hours count.

[Review] Subsurface Circular
Posted on 6 years ago by Philip(@P_Trah) in Reviews, Switch eShop | 0 comments
System: Switch (eShop)
Release date: March 1, 2018
Developer: Bithell Games
Publisher: Bithell Games
With the growing popularity of Switch, developers all across the industry are seeing just how big of an impact Nintendo’s newest console is having on the market. As a result, the system has received an influx of not only third-party developed games, but also a barrage of creative and imaginative indie titles. One such title, Subsurface Circular, is now making the jump to the Switch after its initial release in August 2017. Developed by Mike Bithell Games, the same developer responsible for Thomas Was Alone, Subsurface Circular takes an interesting approach to one of the earliest video games genres ever created: the text-based adventure.
