Re: Random: Former Nintendo Boss Reggie Fils-Aimé Rediscovers His N64 Collection

@-wc- We try to keep headlines as short as possible, and when I was workshopping this one, there were some formatting issues. I've managed to shoehorn his full name in now!

We also strive to use our tagline and tags on articles effectively.

In this case, Reggie's name was originally mentioned in both of these sections, so readers were given an immediate understanding of who we were referring to in the headline. This is also reflected on our social channels like FB.

Re: Mario Kart Live Dev Interested In Returning To Knockout City Universe "When The Time Is Right"

@Devann As mentioned in our linked story dating back to Feb 2023:

"After the server shut down on 6th June 2023, Velan will be releasing a standalone player-hosted version of the game for Windows PCs - so even after the servers go offline Knockout City can continue to be enjoyed by fans."

Re: Donkey Kong Country Returns Switch Dev Appears To Have Been Revealed

@N00BiSH Monster Games was acquired by iRacing in January 2022 and appears to have been working on racing games ever since (NASCAR etc). Before this, the last Nintendo game it helped out with was Xenoblade Chronicles 3D (2015).

Monster could still be credited on this latest release, but based on this announcement it seems like it's a Forever project.

Re: Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes Switch Update Adding Performance Mode

@-wc- Whoops, forgot to add a hyperlink there. To clarify, that's from our review.

As for the score, we don't normally update this unless the review is in-progress (e.g. see No Man's Sky review). Sometimes we might also add a note, if something major has changed / improved.

For anyone who missed them, our reviews on PX and PS are worth a read as well:

Re: The Witcher's Netflix Series Announces "Fifth And Final Season"

@WiiWareWave I assume so if Switch got them in the end. This was the original announcement:

"In addition to the next-gen release, the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch versions of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will also receive an update featuring numerous additions and improvements, as well as the Netflix Witcher-themed DLCs."

Update: Found this over on Push Square:

Re: Atooi's Hatch Tales For Switch Will Include "Over 2000" Level Uploads From 3DS Release Chicken Wiggle

@Ogbert A "slight delay" was referencing the latest delay which took place at the end of March 2024 (and changed the release to June 2024). Those dates are just months apart but I get where you're coming from, so I've changed this to "last-minute delay".

It was also noted in the text (right after this) how it has now been more than six years since the Kickstarter campaign, and we did highlight this in a previous story here on NL. This same story included some commentary about how Atooi's communication had frustrated backers:

Guess we'll see how this all unfolds in June!
