E3 2024 and E3 2025 seemingly cancelled
Posted on 11 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Original: Based on the results of a meeting from the Los Angeles City Tourism Board of Commissioners, E3 2024 and E3 2025 may both be cancelled.
The accompanying Regular Meeting Packet from June 16 includes a note stating the show has been scrapped over the next couple of years. Originally, E3 2024 and E3 2025 were planned for June 11 and June 3 in their respective years. The ESA hasn’t shared an official comment, but it would be bizarre to include this information if the expo was still on track.

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 physical release has huge download on Switch
Posted on 11 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 will indeed be receiving a physical release – which isn’t surprising since Konami has pretty much always done that for the series – but collectors won’t be happy to hear that much of it requires a download.
Almost nothing appears to be included on the actual cartridge. It does contain 2.4GB of data, but it sounds like players will essentially need to download most of the actual content. The site mentions 24.1GB that’s needed, and then if you’re interested in the bonus videos, that’s another 30GB.
