Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Let's Talk, Switch | 0 comments
Another Nintendo Direct is in the books. Many announcements were made for Switch, but even 3DS saw a bit of love with some surprise reveals.
Super Smash Bros. obviously stole the show. But other than that, we heard about more free content and a brand new expansion for Splatoon 2, plus Switch versions of Captain Toad, Okami HD, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, Undertale, South Park: The Fractured But Whole, and Little Nightmares: Complete Edition. Over on 3DS, Nintendo pulled back the curtain on a Luigi’s Mansion and Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story remakes as well as WarioWare Gold. That’s not everything either, as we even saw news such as a new Dark Souls amiibo.
Now that the dust has settled on the Nintendo Direct, how’s everyone feeling about it? Did the presentation live up to your expectations? Were you disappointed? What were your favorite announcements? Let us know in the comments below.

NBA 2K18 removes screenshot feature on Switch with version 1.07 due to “new Nintendo policy”
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Since launch, NBA 2K18 players have been able to capture screenshots with the game. Almost every title on the system supports the feature. But with version 1.07, the functionality has been disabled.
The exact reason behind this is interesting but unclear. A customer support representative says that a “new Nintendo policy” prompted the change.
The same also applies for another 2K title, by the way. You can no longer take screenshots in WWE 2K18.
