Watching him try to contain his excitement is the best. He wanted so hard to scream "GIVE ME THE FUCKING CONTROLLER YOU PLAY IT ALL THE TIME" lmao.

Nah man that's just Jimmy Fallon. I thought the same thing until my gf made me watch him a bunch of times, that's just how he acts.

Seasons of Heaven, Developed by AnyArts Production

The story of Seasons of Heaven is based on a French novel of the same name by Nicolas Augusto, which centers on a group of survivors in a post-civilization world. The game runs on Unreal Engine 4 and follows Yann, a young boy with Asperger’s syndrome, and Ani, his French bulldog. Both characters are playable.

Seems the system will use USB C for charging, which should make charging super fast (see Google Pixel)

GOOD

I see the Miyamoto news through 2 different lenses:

1. He has fully transitioned away from his active role in title development post Kimishima appointment. This means that his role on development (and in general within the company) is one of final sign off on projects to start or confirmation that the projects are done and ready to go.

2. His current work on any Switch titles is done (like assisting Monolith with some Zelda fine tuning issues or his involvement on the displayed Mario title) and hes just taking a break until they're ready for him to start his next project and avoid burnout.

Either way is a plus. Kimishima has demonstrated his ability in managing some haphazard decisions during the Iwata era (that were not necessarily Iwata's fault) while positioning the Switch exactly where it should fit with regards to the PS4 and Nintendo's DS line. I love Shiggy as much as the next guy but sometimes his ideas are better served as the basis of a game instead of the game itself.

While this is a Switch exclusive, this footage is from PC because Nintendo still hasn't given them a dev kit. Expect a visual downgrade.

Rumors are really hyping up in advance of the Switch event in a week and a half, mainly from LKD. These videos summarize them (although not the biggest fan of the narrator):

Also, current reports are that BotW will be a launch title or at the very least "Spring 2017"

ALL HANDS ON DECK

**Kirin** · 2017-01-03 11:06

Mario and Zelda alone would be enough to have me at day 1.

Throw in Mother 3, along with some of the rumored titles, whatever Retro is working on (please be a Metroid 2 remake), some additional Square Enix and Atlus love, Pokemon Star (or FRLG remakes) and it's looking a lot better than Wii U's lineup.

I know its not directly related, but Mother 3 selling well could lead the way for titles like Seiken 3 to get an official translation. Mother 3 at launch also means GBA games are instantly confirmed. Toss in region free, and I'll be one happy camper.

My only issue, though it is Nintendo and they've done this forever, is limiting virtual console titles. Just make the damn library available at once.

Their theory it seems, as faulty as it is, is that they want a constant flow of new content as opposed to dumping everything at once to encourage longevity of sales.

**Kirin** · 2017-01-03 11:29

Oh I know, and from a business and financial standpoint it makes a lot of sense. These small practices are one of the reasons Nintendo can weather a console like the Wii U sales wise and continue to have the bank account they do. (Pokemon and Mario help a lot as well).

It's just aggravating having to wait 'x' months/years to have a great title available for download or to upgrade an existing title for 5 bux.
