Reggie leaves the door open to more gameplay possibilities and third-party support with Nintendo Labo
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 18 Comments
TIME was recently able to speak with Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime about Nintendo Labo. The first topic discussed is the potential to expand on the idea and the use of the Toy-Cons, of which Reggie had this to share:
“Can [the Toy-Cons] be incorporated into other forms of gameplay? Certainly. But right now we think if we effectively communicate the power of the idea with Nintendo Labo [and] really enable players to make their creations, personalize them, and enjoy the [inherent] gameplay experiences . . . We think that’s going to be a great way to start and then progress down the path.”

Nintendo revealing a new way to play with Switch later today
Posted on 6 years ago by Joshua in News, Switch | 134 Comments
You can see here that Nintendo’s Japanese website has posted something strange.
With the combined power of Google Translate and common sense, below is a translation of the page’s message:
2018.1.18 7:00
On January 18, 2018 [Thursday] we will introduce “New play” using Nintendo Switch at 7:00 on this page.
This was cryptic indeed, until Nintendo UK threw their hats in too. They have a similar page, and it says the following:
10PM UK time
Tune in to discover a new interactive experience for Nintendo Switch that’s specifically crafted for kids and those who are kids at heart.
It seems from the UK’s message that news on the rumored Nintendo Direct is out of the picture. However, something is coming in the next twelve hours. Stay tuned, as we will keep you updated if more information arrives.

Ubisoft staffer teases upcoming Nintendo-related news
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 51 Comments
Ubisoft will have some Nintendo-related news to share soon. That’s based on a new tweet from one of the company’s employees at the company’s Montreal studio.
Here’s the tweet in question:
Something will happen in some days… please be sure to be ready for that #Nintendo
— Ubi-PandaR0o – (@TW_PhantomLord) January 16, 2018
What’s being teased here could be one of many things. One possibility is some news on Steep, which we assume is still in the works given that Ubisoft hasn’t said anything about a cancellation. This same Ubisoft staffer had said in August that Steep was still happening on Switch.
Night in the Woods confirmed for Switch, launching February 1
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch eShop, Videos | 7 Comments
Update: We’ve heard from Finji that the release date on the eShop is wrong, which was apparently the company’s fault. Night in the Woods will now release slightly later than expected on February 1.
Original: A few months ago, it was strongly suggested that the acclaimed adventure game Night in the Woods would eventually arrive on Switch. We now have confirmation that it’s happening.
A listing on the eShop shows that Night in the Woods is coming to Switch – and apparently very soon. Finji will apparently publish the game on January 18 for $19.99.
