NintyBuzz’s E3 2021 Stream with Prizes Announced

With only a few days until Nintendo finally treats us with news on their upcoming titles, we have decided to host a special stream where we play some games, watch the event, discuss the news, and give out some prizes!

Starting Tuesday 15th June from 4pm BST, I’ll be kicking off the stream with some Animal Crossing New Horizons. During this first hour, I’ll be discussing some of our hopes and dreams for Nintendo’s big event all while fixing up my long neglected island. Following this, we will be hosting the official Nintendo E3 2021 Direct along with my reactions to all the news and announcements. Viewers will then be invited to join me in some games for the remaining couple of hours where we can digest what we just saw, play some games, and even hand out some prizes.

I have a total of three £25 Nintendo eShop Vouchers to hand out. Two will be offered to two lucky people at random who follow the instructions on the widget below with the final voucher going to a random viewer who participates in any games following the Nintendo Direct… as they say, you gotta be in it to win it!

REVIEW – Famicom Detective Club: The Missing Heir & The Girl Who Stands Behind

Somewhere around 33 years ago, renowned creator of the Game Boy, Gunpei Yokoi, approached Yoshio Sakamoto, best known for his work with the Metroid franchise, to create a game with only a title as a suggestion. The title was “Famicom Shōnen Tanteidan” (Famicom Youth Detective Club) and it was to be developed for the Famicom Disk System exclusively in Japan. Drawing inspiration from horror films by Dario Argenta and 1983’s The Portopia Serial Murder Case, the project eventually manifested into two titles under the Famicom Detective Club banner; The Missing Heir and The Girl Who Stands Behind. Now they’ve been remade especially for the Nintendo Switch by esteemed visual novel studio Mages and localised officially into English for the first time. Do they hold up with the times, or fall behind their contemporary successors?

REVIEW – New Pokémon Snap

It has been twenty-two years since HAL Laboratory and Pax Softnica developed Pokémon Snap for the Nintendo 64 and, for the longest time, Pokémon fans like myself have wanted to see a new addition to the series. But as the years went on, I began accepting it as a bit of a pipe dream. So when New Pokémon Snap was announced back in June 2020, it came as a bit of a shock! Did they actually do it? Are they really making Pokémon Snap 2?

Please read my review below to find out whether its successor captured my excitement, or was I left feeling a bit negative.

NintyBeats – Nintendo (Literally) Rocks

Anyone who knows me well knows that I am quite the rock fanatic, and a particular metalhead, so this time on NintyBeats I’m here to share a sampling of times Nintendo threw down and pulled out the guitars to shred with the best of them. Get ready to jump down into the mosh pit and headbang to a selection of their finest rock or rock inspired tracks from over the years.

REVIEW – Harvest Moon: One World

As of late, farming simulation games seem to have been increasing in popularity, or have they always been popular and I’ve only just realised this? Either way, it is a bit odd that some gamers, myself included, crave the sort of game that simulates the hard work of farming. I suppose when you get to see your efforts grow to fruition fairly quickly without the actual physical input, farming can be pretty fun, even for the laziest individual… why are you staring at me?

Harvest Moon: One World is yet another entry into the genre. Not only that, but it is also the first new game in the series (not to be confused with Story of Seasons) for quite some time. Does the title bear the fruits of Natsume’s labour, or does barn cleanup sound more appetising? Find out in our review, after the break!

Super Bomberman R Online Blasts Onto Nintendo Switch Soon

Battle Royales have been all the rage of recent times, for better and for worse. Late last year, Konami brought the world of Bomberman into the genre exclusively for Google Stadia, allowing up to 64 players online to duke it out with some highly explosive materials. Today, Konami announced that the Super Bomberman R Online will be heading its way to PC and consoles, including the Nintendo Switch, due to ‘the success of its initial launch on Stadia’. The company also went on to announce that the title will support cross-platform play, meaning anyone can play together no matter which console they play on.

Other than a release window of this year not much else has been announced. Either way, I myself am pretty excited, especially after the blast I used to have with Super Bomberman R!
