During the Super Dragon Quest X TV Fall Festival 10-Hour Special 2018 broadcast, Dragon Quest executive producer Yu Miyake talked about wanting to make an offline version, and possible for the West. [Thanks, Gamestalk.] Back in August 25, 2018, Yosuke Saito, who retired from his position as the producer of the game, stated that Dragon Quest X is packed with excellent stories that even lineup with the conventional Dragon Quest series. Saito said “We talk about an offline version here and there, but I don’t think it’s impossible. It’d be great if we could introduce it to customers.”

Alwa’s Awakening looks like a pretty entertaining retro game. The title recently launched on Switch, over a year after its release on PC. It’s done VERY well for itself. Record-setting well, in fact. Mikael Forslind, an owner of developer Elden Pixels, revealed today that Alwa’s Awakening sold more copies on Switch in its first week than it did in its first month on PC. An unequal comparison due to the passage of time and the different marketplaces, but something to be proud of, nonetheless.

Mario Party is, at this point, a 20-year-old Nintendo franchise that feels like a constant staple of every system. Along with console staples like Mario Kart and Mario’s various sports outings, a Mario Party for Nintendo Switch felt inevitable. The game’s contents feel inevitable, too — there are have been 10 numbered entries on consoles before it, after all. You play on a digital board game with your friends as Mario universe avatars, and you all end up possibly disliking each other at the end.

Nintendo hype is at a high right now, thanks to a recent Nintendo Direct event and upcoming games like Pokemon Let's Go and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. But Nintendo had to go through some rough patches to get here. Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo of America, spoke at the GeekWire Summit 2018 on Wednesday. On stage, Fils-Aime discussed the success of the Nintendo Switch and how the company had to learn from the shortcomings of the Wii U, as reported by GeekWire.

New firmware update of Nintendo Switch the version 6.0.0 is slowly kickstarting the new era of playing with Switch Online. So far there was no official mention on this from Nintendo, but several users have reported that update to version 6.0.0 set up an upload limit on Switch console. If you have this new firmware your upload speed won’t go above 8Mbps.

Nintendo posted an exciting tweet when they noticed that Mario Kart was trending worldwide! However, they backpedaled after realizing it was because Stormy Daniels compared Donald Trump’s penis size to one of its characters! Nintendo is apologizing after the gaming brand applauded the fact that its game Mario Kart, along with the character, Toad were trending worldwide on September 18.

Nintendo of America President and COO Reggie Fils-Aime appeared at Seattle's Geekwire Summit on Wednesday to speak broadly about the company's future, and, while the talk didn't include new product reveals, it proved illuminating about what to expect from the big N in the future. The short version: Nintendo would rather be defined as an "entertainment" company, not a gaming one.

Nintendo knows exactly what it does well. Innovative technology combined with charming gameplay has always been at the heart of the company's philosophy. It's been an extraordinarily successful combination - and one which was once again on display at this year's Gamescom, as I discovered when playing Super Mario Party's new two-tablet mode, Toad's Rec Room.

We don’t know everything about Nintendo’s new Switch console yet, but a first look trailer has given us a taste of what the system is capable of. Imaginations are already racing with the possibilities in store for Nintendo fans everywhere, and the world is endlessly curious as to what new titles the Switch will bring. Though we likely won’t know the launch lineup until January at the earliest, the wide range of titles available on Nintendo’s popular virtual console store are already begging to be played in a portable format. We have yet to see Gamecube games officially on sale in Nintendo’s e-Shop...

You'll need to connect your Nintendo Switch to the internet every seven days to keep playing your NES games.

But you'll need to remember to connect at least every week in order to guarantee access - even if your subscription is a long way from expiring.

Spanish developers Nomada Studio and publisher Devolver Digital will be launching Gris, to the Nintendo Switch and PC this December. The 2D platformer is set in a dream-like world filled with crumbling statues, towering temples and inky, shape-shifting birds. The titular heroine, a hopeful young girl, dashes and floats through the world with mesmerizing grace, her dress and blue hair blowing softly in the wind. Everything feels surreal and otherworldly, painted in watercolor shades of pink, blue, red and green. It's totally unique.

For everyone who is hoping that the Nintendo Switch will get more third-party support, you’ll be happy to know that PORNHUB has announced in an official press release that it promises support for the Switch. The only caveat is that Nintendo has to release an official internet browser for the system. This announcement came from Pornhub’s 2017 year in review series in which the extremely popular porn-sharing website is revealing different statistics for last year.

As well as the expected PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions, Doom Eternal is coming to Nintendo Switch. Bethesda casually let slip the news of the Nintendo version of next year's upcoming shooter in a tweet on the official Doom account. The company's 2016 Doom reboot did land on the Switch eventually, but the port only came to Nintendo players the year after those other formats.

The day that was prophesied by a light switch is finally upon us: Diablo III is coming to Nintendo Switch this year. The news was meant to be announced tomorrow, but appeared today on Forbes in a post that’s since been deleted. Diablo III Eternal Collection on Switch will include the original game, the Reaper of Souls expansion, the Rise of the Necromancer pack, and all updates the game has received thus far. You’ll also be able to get an armor set that makes you look like Ganondorf from The Legend of Zelda, because I guess Ganondorf would be mad about the devil muscling in on his “crown prince of evil” turf.

It’s a familiar refrain to anyone vaguely connected to the video game industry: “That game would be perfect on the Switch!” It has been said from Switch owners for nearly every game past and present, from A Boy and His Blob to Zuma. At some point, someone must have also said the same of Diablo III, Blizzard’s third game in their action-RPG series, and it seems like Blizzard and Nintendo agree.

Clarifying its earlier policy regarding Nintendo Switch Online subscription cloud saves, Nintendo has confirmed that, even if your Online subscription lapses, you still have a bit of time to recover cloud saves. In a statement given to IGN by a Nintendo spokesperson, Nintendo has confirmed that, should a Switch owner resubscribe to Switch Online within 180 days, or six months, after their subscription ends, users can still recover their previous cloud saves.

Remember the rumor of Nintendo and Illumination Entertainment teaming up for a Super Mario Bros. animated movie? Those details were never confirmed, but today Nintendo's president has at least given a little glimpse at what could happen in the future. In an interview with Kyoto Shimbun, Nintendo's president Tatsumi Kimishima says he hopes to come to an agreement with a partner for a Super Mario Bros. movie. If that agreement happens, then an official announcement of the project could come soon. On top of all that, if everything proceeds smoothly, Kimishima says that the movie could be ready by 2020.

But if you check the eShop right now, you might be in for a shock — Outlast: Bundle of Terror is available right now. The extremely popular psychological horror game has the player take control of investigative journalist Miles Upshur as he wanders the halls of Mount Massive Asylum, where countless horrors await.

Warframe is a free to play loot shooter that has managed to garner a hugely dedicated fan base, and earn itself a lot of respect, thanks to excellent and fair free to play game mechanics, and hugely compelling game design. The title is available to play on Xbox One, PS4, and PC—but so far, it has not appeared on a Nintendo system. That could change eventually—speaking to The Express UK, Sheldon Carter, COO of Digital Extremes, noted that the studio loves the Switch, and is examining possibilities—but for now, they have nothing to announce.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age producer Hokuto Okamoto discussed more about the troubled Switch version of the RPG during an interview with GameSpot at PAX East 2018 in Boston. “It’s true that the Nintendo Switch version is under development at this moment in time,” Okamoto told GameSpot. “Specifically with regards to the development, this game was developed on the Unreal Engine, but the version for Unreal Engine needs to be updated, I suppose, in order to support Switch. In that sense, the development is still expected to take a very long time. It’s still a long ways out.”

Nintendo has always championed local multiplayer experiences, whether it be with link cables for its handheld Game Boy systems or the easy wireless connectivity of the 3DS, and if a new patent application is any indication, the company could be working on a new type of screen that could revolutionize local multiplayer gaming all over again.

Boys and girls, it's a very momentous occasion. With the release of Nitnendo's latest financial results, we now see that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the best-selling Zelda game of all-time. We're talking about a worldwide scale here, where the game has sold 8.48 million on Switch alone. When you throw in the Wii U version sales, which were at 1.5 million as of the last fiscal quarter, at the very least possible, Breath of the Wild is just shy of the 10 million sold mark.

The PlayStation 4 was the top-selling console hardware platform in May in the United States, according to industry-tracking firm The NPD Group.
