REVIEW Bayonetta Origins — "while you may feel sceptical about her going from heavy action to puzzles, Platinum Games nailed the transition flawlessly.". GameSpot call it an "achievement in artistry, innovation, and tenderness". Polygon's review however, claims this spinoff can't decide on what it wants to be. Kayleigh Partleton // Pocket Tactics Why game archivists are dreading this month’s 3DS/Wii U eShop shutdown — The upcoming move will cut off access to hundreds of games that can't legally be accessed any other way. Kyle Orland // Ars Technica ▶ "I bought every Nintendo Wii U & 3DS game before the Nintendo eShop closes" — Related to the above this YouTuber, in a noble effort, has bought it all — spending twenty two thousand dollars in the process. It took a huge amount of effort, and a long time... The Completionist // YouTube Insider Q&A-Nintendo’s Bowser — A chat with Nintendo's Doug Bowser. He says the company "feel very confident that the Switch can have a strong performance over the next few years". Greg Keller // AP Nintendo’s next console doesn’t have to try so hard Derek Garcia // ScreenRant Pre-release version of Switch’s OS suggests console was to include theme colors, eShop music Amelia Fruzzetti // Nintendo Wire Super Meat Boy’s spinoff is one giant reference to an old Sega game Ana Diaz // Polygon REVIEW Fur Squadron John Rairdin // Nintendo World Report REVIEW Backbeat Roland Ingram // Nintendo Life REVIEW Intruders: Hide and Seek Shane Boyle // Hey Poor Player ▶ REVIEW Across the Grooves — This is an old review of a musical visual interactive novel from a couple of years ago that I've recently stumbled across. I'm sharing it here as I really appreciated the style and considered approach the review takes. Get Indie Gaming // YouTube ▶ History N' Games: The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild — A really neat video diving into the Japanese history influences (such as the Jōmon period) seen in Breath of the Wild. History N' Games // YouTube Hitman studio IO opens up a little about its James Bond 007 game — Ok, so this ain't Switch related, but I figure Nintendo 64 fans have plenty of interest in Bond games in general. Robert Purchese // Eurogamer The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening committed a narrative sin — and got away with it Grayson Morley // Polygon 40 years of weird and wonderful (and just plain wrong) Super Mario TV commercials Ollie Reynolds // Nintendo Life
