[News] Nintendo Direct Airing June 18th!


Nintendo has just let us know a new direct will be dropping very soon!

Over on Twitter, Nintendo has just made a post informing us there is going to be a new Nintendo Direct. It will be airing June 18th @ 3pm BST. Nintendo has stated that this direct will be 40 minutes long with a focus on games coming in the second half of 2024. Nintendo has also stated the Nintendo Switch successor will not be at the show. You will be able to watch this direct, as always, on Nintendo's selection of official YouTube channels.

With the direct being 40 minutes long we can expect a decent amount of games and updates being shown. This year has been somewhat dry in terms of big new releases so I am excited to see what will be at this show. Whatever they show here will most likely be some of the last titles coming to the switch. There haven't been any notable leakers come out with anything recently so this show really will be full of surprises. Though, there is still the Fire Emblem 4 remake that was rumored a while ago, so we could see that finally, who knows.

I have only one personal wish for this show, that being, Zelda Oracle remakes. I haven't played these games the full way through and giving them the link's awakening treatment would be awesome and encourage me to finally finish them. It would also be cool if Metroid Prime 4 at least had an update, I'm not a Metroid fan (yet) but it would be nice for the Metroid fans.

That's it for this blog, stay connected!

[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...
