  1. Nintendo eShop new releases (week 04) The fourth week of releases. A selection of new titles are now available on the Nintendo Switch eShop. Check the article for the full roundup. - - - - - Here are some recently posted articles... New SNES titles added to Nintendo Switch Online January 2025 Nintendo Switch 2 Experience Events Schedule I'll still be using the Switch 2 graphic in the banners for these eShop updates, but I'll keep the news icon to the original Switch... until the switch to... Switch 2 of course, which it really feels like isn't that far away now, especially with the recently announced Switch 2 experience events. It's excellent to hear that we'll have some N-Europe staff members present at the London event, congratulations to @Dcubed @Glen-i and @Ugh first aid of course. I look forward to hearing your feedback on the Switch 2, and I've mentioned that you'll all be there in the article, so hopefully we can get a hands-on article up on the main site, when the time comes. Before that though, there's still work to be done, and I'll do what I can each week, putting up reviews and the odd news article, plus an overhaul of the side-boxes on the main site, it just depends on what I can get done on Sundays/Mondays at the moment. @Cube is doing an excellent job of keeping content on the main page with the All N64 games articles, plus with promoting N-Europe across various channels, and it's great to see a new banner up on the main page, as even though the Switch port has its issues, Donkey Kong Country Returns is still a great game, plus it's getting a good reception still overall generally, so it's nice to see that art being used again at least. We'll see what we can do between now and April in any case, as it would be a good time to start again, plus it's great to have a new Nintendo console just around the corner, so let's hope that the release date isn't too far after April... Q3 2025 at the latest, surely? Not long now either way, and still a fair few Switch games to enjoy before then. See you next week!
  2. The trademarks couldn't be to do with the new Sonic Racing: Crossworlds game which is being released this year, possibly? Though there would need to be more Sega trademarks updated at around the same time perhaps. I was just thinking back to the excellent Sega All Stars Racing Transformed (+ Banjo-Kazooie & Co) which had a lot of Sega themed tracks, including Skies of Arcadia, Panzer Dragoon and more besides with various tie-ins across multiple platforms. I mean... it's even in the name, Cross Worlds.
  3. I just did a quick search, apparently Nintendo can transfer between two 3DS consoles from their end, they just need to know both serial numbers of each console, and the NNID... though, that was presumably before they shut everything down.
  4. But, is it still possible to perform a system transfer if the touch screen isn't working?
  5. Thanks for the games. Here's a link to this week's stream... - - - - - N-Europe Saturday Smash! (25/01/2025) - - - - -

  8. Nintendo eShop new releases (week 03) The third week of releases. A selection of new titles are now available on the Nintendo Switch eShop. Check the article for the full roundup. - - - - - Thanks to @Cube for the recently posted articles... Animal Crossing is Heading to Sea Life Nintendo Switch 2 Officially Announced New Mario Kart shown off for Switch 2 Also, I couldn't wait to replace the old Switch eShop banner with a Switch 2 banner for the eShop news, and start using the new news icon, as it's a matter of months away now anyway, so it'll get people used to seeing the new console, plus it's all backwards compatible, so there we are. The banner might change closer to release, but this is it for now, though I'm happy to take design suggestions on-board, this is just as simple a banner as I could make, while still retaining the feel of the previous banner, but more importantly putting a little bit more colour back into the weekly updates. There's plenty more to do on the main page, I know... though I should be putting more time into this on Sundays and Mondays going forward. See you next week!

  12. Nintendo eShop new releases (week 02) The second week of releases. A selection of new titles are now available on the Nintendo Switch eShop. Check the article for the full roundup. - - - - - Again, this week didn't have any official new eShop release article, so I just went to the recent releases page and picked a handful of games which appear to be potentially worth checking out. See you next week!

  16. Nintendo eShop new releases (week 01) The first week of releases. A selection of new titles are now available on the Nintendo Switch eShop. Check the article for the full roundup. - - - - - Just like with the last week of 2024, the first week didn't have any official new eShop release article, so I just went to the recent releases page and picked a handful of games which either appear to be decent by reputation, or aren't at least absolute asset-flips, cash-ins, or A.I copy-pasted, shop-simulation trash. See you next week!
  17. Gotta go fast! Sonic X Shadow Generations - Its been 10 years since I last played Generations... also Shadow. Sonic Superstars - I own this game on two platforms, and have played it on neither. Sonic Origins Plus - I've played these games many times over but I'll play them again. Sonic Frontiers - Not played, and "That's no good!" time to catch up. Sonic Colors Ultimate - Played it once... on the Wii, might check out the DS port too for fun. Sonic Mania - Either in Mania or Plus form, it's the best 2D Sonic game since Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Sonic Forces - Not great in general, but not the worst Sonic title, I'd give it another chance. Sonic Adventure DX - The best version of the original Dreamcast classic. Sonic Adventure 2 Battle - One of the best GameCube launch titles, now with renewed interest. Shadow the Hedgehog - Ow the Edge! Now with extra renewed interest thanks to the recent film, time to watch Maria die all over again.
  18. Out of all those games... Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound Unbeatable The first game, because... it's 2D Ninja Gaiden, the first in a while... since the 8-bit and 16-bit era (not counting unreleased games or mobile spin-offs) except this has a modern twist to it, as expected, given the developers. It's just nice to see the franchise being revived in a meaningful way again, which hasn't happened since the 3D games in the early 2000's and of course, Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword on the Nintendo DS Whereas the second game looks like a unique rhythm-action game, with influences ranging from Jet Set Radio, so that era of similar games from the early Playstation era, right through to modern-day titles. It looks like it could be fun, and also reminds me that I need to buy Bomb Rush Cyberfunk again, this time on PS5. - - - - - Speaking of the PS5, I finally got around to settting mine up when I had a few days off work, it only took... a year and a half from when I bought the machine. In fact, I had to recover my account it had been so long, apparently four years had passed since I last played on my PS4, so if anyone wants to re-add me, they can as my user name is still Metal-Mutiny on PSN. First game that I played? Sonic X Shadow Generations of course. It's nice to be playing the original Sonic Generations again, working my way through the stages, I'm sure I must have persevered to get all the achievements on the Xbox 360 version back when the game was first released, so I might just make this the first game that I earn a platinum trophy on. Yep... you read that right, as far as I'm aware, I haven't earned a single platinum trophy yet, so I'm going to start with gaining all of the ones for all of the Sonic games I own for the PS5, which is... all of them. Indeed, I haven't played a new Sonic game since Sonic Origins Plus on the Switch, so that'll be fun. I also probably need to rebuy Sonic Mania Plus on the PS4 so that I can play it on the PS5. I don't have Playstation Plus, as clearly it would have been a waste up until now, but when Monster Hunter Wilds comes out, I'll likely start a subscription then. even if it's only for a month or so, to see how the game is at launch and then go from there. It's good to be playing on a console which is new to me though, and I can see myself keeping the launch PS5 for many years, just like I did with the PS4, as I don't anticipate buying a new console until the Switch 2, but playing most modern games on the PS5 will at least keep me busy for a while, even though I don't make as much time for gaming now, aside from regular online multiplayer games on both the Switch and the Nintendo GameCube. So getting to play an online game on the PS5 when Monster Hunter Wilds releases will be something of a novelty, and hopefully another enjoyable game in the series.

  22. Site News: Happy New Year! Gotta Write Fast! A New Year's article featuring Nintendo, Sega, Sonic and Shadow. Sonic Adventure 2 Battle is still peak classic 3D Sonic. There's surely no better time than now to replay it.
