by The_acz

Playtonic Games just dropped a bombshell of Yooka Laylee news onto the world today, so without any further hesitation, let’s dig into this info.

Let’s just get the bad news out of the way. As of today, Tuesday December 13th 2016, the Wii U version of Yooka Laylee has officially been canceled due to technical problems with the console. In their newest update, Playtonic stressed that this decision was very hard for them, and right up until today they had been constantly searching for work arounds to the issue, but sadly could not find any. Don’t fret just yet though! While Wii U is officially off the table, Playtonic also dropped that development on Nintendo will continue with a Switch version now set to release!nintendoswitch_hardware-0-0

Now, even though Yooka will be arriving on the switch in 2017, it will not be launching alongside the other versions, but that does bring us to our next piece of news which is far cooler, the game has an official release date! That’s right, get ready to go bat ship crazy because Yooka Laylee will be launching on April 11th 2017 for Xbox One, PS4, and PC! Not only that, but Playtonic also released a look at a brand new world coming to the game titled Capital Cashino. Check out the video below and tell us what you think about this update!

‘Lego City Undercover’ Gains New Life On Next Gen Consoles!

by The_acz

Remember Lego CIty Undercover? No?  Well, I don’t blame you.

The 2013 Wii U game came out to not much fanfare, and as a result fell through the cracks and faded from peoples minds. It was essentially a Lego version of Grand Theft Auto with a big open world to explore, a huge amount of cars to drive, and multiple different disguises to wear. It’s one of the most overlooked Wii U games, and that’s why Lego and WB are giving it a second chance as they just announced that the game will be making its way to PS4, Xbox One, PC, and even Nintendo Switch in Spring of 2017.

This is a great release date as there’s a strong chance this game will be part of the Nintendo Switch Launch come its release. What are your thoughts on this announcement? What system are you planning on buying it for? Did you ever play the original Wii U version? Tell us in the comments below!

Rumor: ‘Zelda: Breath Of The Wild’ Not Launching In March Due To Localization Issues

by The_acz

With the Nintendo Switch launching in March, everyone is eager to buy the system, especially for Zelda Breath of the Wild, which has been rumored as a launch title for so long now that most people have just accepted it. Sadly, our trip to Hyrule might be a bit longer than we expected.

A couple of days ago Emily Rogers reported that Zelda Breath of the Wild was facing localization issues due to the gigantic size of the game. Rogers stated that while the game should be fully localized by December, Nintendo will still need at least 4-6 months for testing the game as it’s just that big. She also reported that the Switch version of the game runs much smoother and faster than the Wii U version, but in the end this is all just speculation. While not everyone was so quick to believe Rogers, things got a bit more real when Eurogamer came out and confirmed everything that she had said.botwWhile this is a hard blow to the launch of the Nintendo Switch, It’s not all doom and gloom. The console is still rumored to launch with an upgraded and expanded port of Mario Kart 8, as well as the possibility of the next 3D Mario game being ready at launch. What are your thoughts on this possible delay? Which version of Breath of the Wild will you be picking up? Tell us in the comments below!

AnnaTheRed Transforms Nintendo Switch Into Adorable Puppy Plush

by Natalie Kipper

Plushsmith AnnaTheRed is a freaking stuffed animal genius. While she has made some amazing plushes in the past, Anna may have outdone herself with her homage to the Nintendo Switch. Building on the controller’s likeness to a puppy face, she crafted her own Nintendo Switch Dog plush.


You can see more of Anna’s Nintendo Switch Dog plush on her twitter. She also compiled the photos into a flickr album.

I don’t see Anna selling this little cutie but, in my opinion, Nintendo is missing out on a goldmine if they don’t commission her to make a line of these (or more likely get permission to reproduce them).

The Era Of Wii U Is Over! Say Hello To ‘Nintendo Switch’!

by The_acz

We’ve been waiting for this day a very long time.

https://youtu.be/f5uik5fgIaI

What was originally referred to as Nintendo NX has now evolved into something else. This is the Nintendo Switch. Nintendo’s next home console that is a hybrid between a console and a handheld. Using the new Switch controller, you can initially play all of your games on a gamepad looking device, but if you choose to, you can easily plug the screen and unhook the side controllers to attach it to a docking station for use on your TV. That’s not where it ends though. The controller screen can als be used as a mini TV while you play the game using only the 2 detachable Joycon analog sticks, just a single Joycon analog , or just get rid of the screen and turn it into a psuedo pro controller for your TV.nintendoswitch_hardware-0-0

Don’t fret though! You can still find a regular controller with the Switch Pro controller which is even more reminiscent of the Wii U pro controller. Afraid about 3rd party support not being there? Not a problem! The Nintendo Switch will have the following Developers on board. Take Two, Capcom, Ubisoft, Bethesda, From Software, Activision, an much much more. No need to worry about drought game months anymore. nintendo-switch-devs-1024x678

And what would a Nintendo console be without first party support. During the video, Nintendo teased fans with quick glimpses of a new Mario Kart, Splatoon, and even a 3D Mario. All of these seem to be hinting at a possibility that all these games could be availble at launch when the system comes out in March 2017, and if that’s true, we’ll be in for one doozy of a line-up.mario-nintendo-switchSo, what do you think?
