[News] Volume 9 of Nintendo's ask the developer is now complete!

This ask the developer was focused on the upcoming Tears Of The Kingdom game

Source: www.nintendo.co.uk

All five parts are now available for your viewing pleasure. As usual, each part goes over many questions you may have about the game and gives you some insight into why certain decisions were made for this game. These ask the developer interviews always make for a great read and knowing the developers thoughts really sheds a different light on things. I will now briefly summarise each part of this volume.

Part 1 is about the background of the game and the team behind it. As well as that, it also goes over the music of Tears of the Kingdom a little bit with mentions of in game audio enhancements compared to Breath of the Wild.

Part 2 goes over the changes that have been made to the gameplay and world of the game. Link's appearance is also highlighted here, with his arm being a key distinguisher from his look in the previous game.

Part 3 then goes on to talk about the different challenges the team were faced with during development of this title. Dungeons are also mentioned in this part, with them being more like traditional ones but with a expanded scope.

Part 4 goes into what makes this game "Zelda-like" and more than just a typical sequel. Links new abilities in the game are spoken about alongside this.

Part 5 ends off the interview with some talk about the game's freedom and how it encourages creativity. Aonuma also mentions what he would like fans to pay attention to when they are playing.

[News] New "Hype trailer" for Summer Game Fest goes live

Summer Game Fest gets new video source : twitter.com/summergamefest Summer Game Fest hosted by Geoff Keighley will be live this Thursday, June 8th as announced a few days ago. The event will be streamed everywhere @ 3pm ET / Noon PT / 9pm CEST. Currently, other than a showing for the recently revealed Mortal Kombat remake, there are no details as to what to expect from the show. However, in a follow up tweet to the video post, Geoff states we will find out soon. In that same reply he also says what you see in the video is not indicative of what we will or won't see. So it serves as just a little mind refresher for some of the new games this year. Link to the video can be found here SGF video I will be watching this event, but I will have my expectations set very low. Previous summer game fests have not been that interesting so I expect this one to follow suit. Though, with E3 not being a thing anymore offici...

[News] Another game comes to Nintendo Switch Online!

Another game is now available for Nintendo Switch Online members source: twitter.com/NintendoAmerica Over on X (Twitter), Nintendo has announced that another game is coming to Nintendo Switch Online. This includes 1 GBA game. The GBA game included in this update is Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team. The GBA app does require the expansion pass tier so if you have it you can enjoy this game. This game will be available from August 9th. For more information on the game click this link: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team I haven't played Red Rescue Team, but I have played Blue Rescue Team and loved it. They are essentially the same game just Blue Rescue Team was on the DS. Both aren't coming together as we sadly don't have a DS app. I hope people who have the expansion take the time to try this, as the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, while a bit repetitive in gameplay, bring a lot more interesting narratives than mainline Pokemon games. That's it f...

[News] Grand Festival Announced! (Splatoon 3)

Nintendo has just announced the last? Splatfest! source: x.com/NintendoAUNZ Over on X (Twitter), Nintendo has just posted the details of the last? Splatfest for Splatoon 3. It is a very special Splatfest with it being called the "Grand festival". For this, it seems all three idol groups are against each other taking one option each. The question being asked for this is "Which is the most important to you?". The three options are past (Squid Sisters), present (Off the Hook), or future (Deep Cut). The Splatfest will be available for 72 hours rather than the usual 48. It will start Friday the 13th of September @ 01:00 am until Monday the 16th of September @ 00:59 am . We don't know much about the fest itself but it's safe to assume it will have all the same things as a special Splatfest and more. In the trailer, we do get to see the three idol groups in special costumes, as well as hear a new collab song between the three idol groups. However, that's pre...
