Zelda: Breath of the Wild devs considered giving players control of the weather
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 0 comments
In Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the weather and environment around you are more important than ever before. Link goes up against some tough conditions, ranging from the blazing heat to frigid temperatures depending on your location. The weather is also a key element when scaling mountains. When it starts raining, you can bet that climbing will become much more difficult.
Giving players control of the weather was actually something the Zelda: Breath of the Wild team considered, according to Hidemaro Fujibayashi. The game’s director explained to Game Informer this month why it ultimately didn’t make sense in the end: it wouldn’t have been as fun and “would have increased the number of variables in the world.”

Bayonetta 3 was only just announced in December, and likely won’t be releasing for quite some time. Still, that doesn’t mean PlatinumGames lacks interest in continuing the franchise in the future.
Over on Twitter, original Bayonetta director Hideki Kamiya said that he has ideas for a fourth Bayonetta. Though the comment alone doesn’t guarantee another entry in the franchise, the interest is definitely there. It’s also encouraging that Platinum would know how to continue to the series following Bayonetta 3.

Virtuos working on the Switch version of Dark Souls: Remastered
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Does the name Virtuos ring a bell? If you paid attention to last year’s release of L.A. Noire on Switch, it may sound familiar. Rockstar worked with Virtuos to bring that title to Nintendo’s console.
The same company looks to be behind the release of another notable Switch re-release. Dark Souls: Remastered has been rated in Australia, showing that Virtuos is working on FromSoftware’s classic for Nintendo’s console. Polish studio QLOC has been rumored to be handling the title for other platforms.
