Monopoly possibly releasing around October 31st

Posted on 7 years ago by Nick in News, Switch | 0 comments

It looks as though Target is listing Monopoly for the Nintendo Switch as releasing on October 31st. Seeing as it releases in Japan on November 9th this honestly doesn’t seem like too much of a stretch. However, it won’t be a for sure thing until we get an actual confirmation from Ubisoft themselves.

X-COM creator was asked to work on Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 6 Comments

Julian Gollop, creator of the strategy franchise X-COM, nearly could have worked on Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. Creative director Davide Soliani had interest in bringing Gollop on board during the early stages of development.

In an interview with PCGamesN, Gollop stated:

“The creative director Davide Soliani is a friend of mine from Ubisoft. When I was at Ubisoft Sofia he was, and still is, working for Ubisoft Milan and I visited him a couple of times. We had conversations about project ideas… he was a fan of my previous games, like Laser Squad [Nemesis] and stuff like that, and he was really into his strategy and turn-based ideas from the beginning.”

Three years or so ago, Soliani gave Gollop a call and asked if he wanted to work on a project with him. It never worked out because Gollop had just left Ubisoft to start working on Chaos Reborn, and he wasn’t aware that it was Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. Gollop may have ended up working on the Switch title had he remained with Ubisoft.

Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle launching January 18th 2018 in Japan

Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 4 Comments

Are you aware of the fact that Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle isn’t actually out in Japan yet? The much-lauded game has been available in the West for a couple of weeks now, but hasn’t hit Nintendo’s home turf yet. We’ve known for a while now that Nintendo are publishing the game themselves in Japan, and that it would be released sometime next year, but in the recent Nintendo Direct, a concrete date has finally been revealed. Turns out that Japanese fans won’t have to endure too much of 2018 without Mario + Rabbids as the game is launching on January 18th.
