REVIEW: Dusk Diver 2 Dives Into The Shallow End

A good effort, but nothing to write home about

The hack-and-slash genre is probably in my top 5 favorite game genres. Every time I get a chance to play a new one, I love seeing what kinds of fresh spins on the formula said new game brings to the table. And Dusk Diver 2 doesn’t really do a whole lot to mix up the hack-and-slash genre all that much, and as a whole it’s got a fair share of problems.

The game picks up a year after the first Dusk Diver, with the protagonist, Yang Yumo, now in college. Still trying to find a way to separate herself from the supernatural powers that she obtained in the first game, Yumo finds herself caught up in dealing with yet another supernatural threat coming from the alternate world of Youshanding.

Stores like Amazon Japan and Book Walker are now selling the Rockman ZX and ZX Advent manga chapters digitally.

Written in 2007 by Shin Ogino, the ZX manga has seen a couple reprints, but the ZX Advent manga has never seen the light of day outside of when it was initially serialized in Famitsu. So this is the first chance Mega Man fans have had in a long time to read this particular manga!

If you’re interested, make sure to pick them up. They’ll definitely be a good read, so long as you can understand Japanese!

Last month, we reported on the Mini Metro knock-off game that suddenly appeared on Switch, Mini Subway: Logic on the Metro Line. We shared the dev response to the knock-off, at which point Dinosaur Polo Club stated they would take legal action if necessary.

And it seems that legal action has indeed been taken, as we received an email update from Dinosaur Polo Club stating that the copycat game was removed. Indeed, going onto the eShop reveals that Mini Subway is no longer listed on the online storefront.

We wanted to give an update that the copycat has officially been removed from the eShop. The team would like to express their thanks for your support in spreading awareness!

Reggie Fils-Aimé Talks About What Led To Switch's Success

The failure of the Wii U led to important lessons learned

In a recent interview with Senior Executive Media, former COO and president of Nintendo of America Reggie Fils-Aimé talked about what it was like working for Nintendo during the time of the Wii U, and what the company learned from the console’s less-than-ideal sales and reception.

He mentions that while the Wii U was not nearly as successful as Nintendo hoped it would be, they learned what consumers liked about the console and took that into consideration for their next big hardware release. Namely, the idea of being able to play your games on the TV, and then taking that game with you if the TV was later occupied.

Of course, the Wii U was much more limited in that scope than the Switch is, but the technology that was used in it was refined and helped create the Switch as we know it.

He also talks about his recent book release, and challenges he faced at jobs other than Nintendo, so if you’re interested, be sure to give the full interview a read here!
