• 2D Zelda on Switch 'Definitely a Possibility'

  14-02-2017 22:11
  With Nintendo Switch serving as a hybrid system, some might wonder what might happen with the handheld 2D Zelda team.
  The Legend of Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma addressed this issue while talking with Game Informer. "The 3DS team and the Wii U team have different approaches to game development, so I don’t necessarily want to combine them and have them think together, but rather have each think about what they can bring to Nintendo Switch from their own perspective," he said.

• Street Fighter on Switch Has a First-Person Hadouken Mode

  14-02-2017 16:01
  
  Ultra Street Fighter 2: The Final Challengers will come with an extra, Nintendo Switch-flavoured mode - it's pretty strange.
  The back of the Japanese edition's box (thanks, Nintendo Everything) includes a section on a new mode called (according to IGN's translation), "Fire! Ha-DO-Ken". The "do" represents a play on words, implying that you "do" the action yourself.
  The box blurb also makes mention of a "1st person POV full impact mode", and says that the Switch's Joy-Con controllers will be used

• For Honor Review in Progress

  14-02-2017 02:20
  For Honor is a unique and somewhat risky venture in this day and age of publishers being hesitant to stray far from the model of their proven hits. Like a delicious, gamified Turducken, it’s a brawler with the depth of a fighting game inserted into the body of a third-person action game, which is in turn stuffed into an online team-based objective game. And in my roughly 40 hours spent playing a combination of alpha and beta tests, it’s easy for me to say that For Honor’s comba
