    Nintendo Life sat down for an interview with Virtuos Vice President of Games Elijah Freeman. In the interview, the VP talked about many of company’s partners approaching them to create new Switch games. Many of the possible projects could be Switch exclusive 3rd party games as well. Virtuos has ported games to the Switch such as Dark Souls: Remastered and Starlink. They’re one of the busiest port studios alongside Panic Button and their resume will surely grow. Here’s the excerpt from the Nintendo Life interview:

    Many of our partners are already approaching us to help them create bespoke Switch titles for some of the most beloved IPs in our industry. I believe that we could and will see unique versions of franchises developed specifically to harness elements of the Switch that make it so special. I would credit this to the unique portability of the console and the quality of gameplay experiences that it offers players, not a result of technical constraints.

    The Virtuos VP also stated that the Switch supports many engines; it will continue to gain 3rd party games and exclusives after the launch of the PS5 and Xbox Scarlett. Developers continue to adapt and harness the Switch’s resources. Stay tuned at Final Weapon for more news regarding the Nintendo Switch!

    PvZ: Battle for Neighborville is being revealed tomorrow

    Fans of the Plants vs. Zombies games (more specifically the shooters) have something to look forward to tomorrow. Revealed through the official page on EA.com, Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville will be shown off at 9AM PST tomorrow.

    As for right now, we don’t have a lot of information on what the game will be. All we know right now is that it’ll be a shooter based in the PvZ universe, similar to recent entries. Considering the look of the cover art though, there’s a decent chance it will prove a solid successor.

    Garden Warfare captivated audiences all the way back in 2014. It offered a very different take on PvZ, offering a whole host of classes and abilities along with third person combat. It was regarded quite highly by critics, citing its fast paced combat and ease to get into. Garden Warfare 2 was a good entry as well, but by no means lived up to the original. Hopefully this entry will freshen things up a bit.

    We’ll be keeping an eye out for the news tomorrow, and will keep you posted here once its announced. We’ve been keeping track of this story from it’s culmination, so it’ll be interesting to see how this all plays out.

    Are you excited for Battle for Neighborville? If so, let us know!

    SNK announces new hardware: the NEOGEO Arcade Stick Pro

    SNK has announced their next hardware in the NEOGEO product line, the Arcade Stick Pro! It is modeled after the NEOGEO CD controller design. It’s labeled as a Pro-Gear Spec Advanced Entertainment System. Since it comes after the NEOGEO Mini, it might be compatible with that console and serve as an integrated console on its own as well.

    It could potentially be compatible with other consoles such as PS4 and Switch, but specific details are unknown at this time. SNK will deliver more news at a later date. Follow the official SNK twitter account for more updates on the NEOGEO Arcade Stick Pro.

    PlatinumGames’ Hideki Kamiya tell fans asking for Astral Chain on PS4 to basically “ask my publisher and investor Nintendo”

    When asked about Astral Chain on PS4, the famous twitter blocker and legendary video game developer, Hideki Kamiya replied:

    何ででしょうね…マリオもゼルダもメトロイドも出せばいいのに…PS嫌いなんですかね…開発請負の我々には分からないので出資・版元の任天堂に聞いてみてもらえますか…？ RT @ririnnrinnemu 何でPS4にアストロルチェイン出さないんですか？
    PS嫌いなんですか？

    Which basically translates to:

    “Well… it would be great to have Mario, Zelda, and Metroid on the PS4 too… As for me, do I hate PlayStation…? I’m just a developer fulfilling my contractual obligations so I don’t know, maybe you can try asking my publisher and investor Nintendo?”

    The man himself is basically confirming yet again that Nintendo owns the full rights to Astral Chain as they funded and published the entire project. Seems like many didn’t know that it has already been confirmed months ago. Either way, we can be sure of two things, we won’t see the soon to be Astral Chain series on any other platform any time soon and Lappy is a Nintendo mascot confirmed. What are your thoughts on exclusivity? If you don’t own a Switch already, would you buy one for Astral Chain?

    Konami EU President Masami Saso: Konami plans to increase its portfolio, more projects and Yu-Gi-Oh success

    Gamesindustry.biz sat down with Konami EU President Masami Saso for an interview recently. In this interview, many interesting tidbits about the importance of console games and projects were discussed. 2019 marks the fifth year of consistent growth for Konami. Over the past few years, more console games have been developed and published by the company. Some of these games include Super Bomberman R, several Yu Gi Oh titles and Contra: Rogue Corps on Nintendo Switch.

    Mobile games and PES have been a major factor of success for the company as well. Another example of success was the release of Yu-Gi-Oh Switch exclusive game, Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution. Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution outsold all retail games across EMEAA territories during release week. Konami EU President Saso states that Konami plans to increase their portfolio for both current and next-gen platforms. Multi-platform strategies will remain.

    Here’s the excerpt from the interview:

    “Even with new platforms coming out, we believe high-end console games are the most important. We challenge for innovative ideas and technology within our console games and apply them to other devices, so we will continue to put effort into our console games. We also plan to increase our portfolio. In addition to the multi-device titles for PES and Yu-Gi-Oh, we plan to work on projects with other globally known IPs in the near future.”

    With this in mind, its safe to assume that Konami will release more titles across platforms such as PS4 and Nintendo Switch. Stay tuned at Final Weapon for more news regarding Konami and new releases down the line.
