@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.

@PinderSchloss Whoops! I've added options for anyone picking it up on PlayStation or PC.

@nessisonett Yeah, it was originally announced in April (but I don't think we covered that) and this is the release date reveal.

@-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:

@Thomystic I've added in the direct links, can be redeemed with a US account.

@LadyCharlie Absolutely, tier lists are still a huge part of the competitive scene in any fighting game. You see that at pro tournaments all the time.

@Tenma220 We did note it was Nippon Columbia in the article, but yes - updated the original source quote to make note of this as well.

@Lightsiyd It should be live at some point this week.

@nhSnork Next-gen as in Xbox Series X|S and PS5.

Edit: Switch was released when Microsoft and Sony were still rolling out the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X.

@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:

@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!

@tabris95 Ah, true! I've updated the article to reflect this.

Thanks! The post has been updated to reflect the pre-order announcement.

@PikaPhantom I've added in Christian Whitehead's post.

FYI: I've updated this post with info from the website about the physical Switch release.

@Lofoten I'm well aware, was just highlighting a few examples.

@yohn777 Yeah, only the second one is on PS.

@FawfulDX I've checked as well now and I can see it's there. Updated the article to reflect this.

@TheMegaMarshtomp Major in that it's (probably) the last significant update for the game. From here on out, I'm guessing any future patches will likely be minor bug fixes at best.

@Lightsiyd PC only for now, I think.

@Teksetter Ha, thanks for that! Yes, Peach is definitely on my mind... you know, with Showtime! not far off. Hoping it's a good one.

@Hoshiko I've updated the post with this information.

@Linkus Yep, that's it!

@Vyacheslav333 This latest story is coming from Bloomberg and what it believes is a credible source, so it's worth reporting.

@MarcusIsCool Yeah, as @HatesCheese mentioned, this new LCD screen would be 8 inches, and the current Switch OLED model is 7 inches. So, yes - the new system might have a bigger screen.

@Arminillo Good point, I've now mentioned this in the article.

@axelhander It should be right:

"Project L has been making great progress and we’re looking for more opportunities for you to try out the game (stay tuned for more updates coming later this year)."

@johnedwin It's $129.99 USD by the looks of it.

@InnerSound Pardon the confusion if the text did imply the OG TM games were otome, it was intended to be a reference to Girls Side specifically.

@KingMike Would be nice if Konami considered a localisation.

@InnerSound Just a heads up, I've updated the text.

The reference to 'visual novel' was taken from the source (I can see where it's coming from), but to make it clear, the second paragraph now references "dating sim" so it matches the headline.

This series is still commonly categorised under "Otome" from what I have seen, but yes - it's a spin-off and is orientated toward female fans.

@xiao7 As noted in the text, he's referred to as 'Luca Bright Bomber' in this game, and is based on the main antagonist in Suikoden II, Luca Blight.

Thanks @Tsuchinoko, I've updated the story with the Japanese eShop release date.

@riggah Nintendo Wire suggests it's taken from the Tropical Freeze barrel. Timestamp 48 seconds: https://youtu.be/_5p0SiWHwvw?t=48

@IceClimbersMain I've added this to the story.

@rvcolem1 This was taken straight from Nintendo's financials PDF, but the movie definitely crossed the billion mark earlier this year, so I've updated it.

I've updated this post.

@CaleBoi25 Yeah, it's on the way.

@Waluigi451 I've made reference to that section from the Q&A now.

@Joeynator3000 Updated the headline to make it a bit clearer.

Updated this with Prodeus DLC.

@inkslinger From the PS blog in May of this year:

"Finally, we will be developing a paid and entirely optional DLC featuring the mysterious Ironhaven Corporation. They’re looking to establish an innovative drilling operation in the area to revitalize the towns and populations, but their ultimate goal is unknown. As you gather materials to construct new buildings and biomatter to fuel the rig, meet new characters, craft new equipment, and catch new fish, you may uncover the truth behind their potentially nefarious operations."

@Coolmusic I've updated the post with Keanu's original response.

@PikaPhantom I've updated the story with this information.

@Classic603 Yes, it's actually better to buy these games individually right now with the current sale price. I guess after the sale ends, the bundle isn't a bad option.

@Zyph But was Nintendo really an "entertainment company" during Reggie's time? Brushing aside its history of love hotels and playing cards, it's really only been known as a video game company in modern times.

I agree with Doug here that Nintendo is on the way - or at least in his words "evolving" into something bigger, potentially. And it's really only kicked off around 2021 - with the launch of these other projects (theme parks and movies) which require huge sums of money but also have huge financial returns.

I should note, I do respect the fact that others could see Nintendo from a completely different perspective.

@Edu23XWiiU "Nitara made her playable debut in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance"

@gaga64 Honestly, I'm not sure just yet. We probably should do one for Joy Mech Fight...

@Savage_Joe Oops! Don't worry, it's in there now.

@nocdaes @Patendo @DiamondJim As mentioned in the text:

"Switch fans can choose between wired ($39.99 USD) and wireless ($59.99 USD) versions of the REALMz controller"

Updated this story again with Sega's reminder that this demo is now also available in Europe.

@Friendly Yes, to clarify - this story was updated to include more information about Larry's role at Xbox.
