Nintendo explains future mobile strategy with Cygames and beyond

As part of its annual financial report, Nintendo released an investor Q&A. The most notable thing about the document is its partnership with Cygames to release a new mobile title, Dragalia Lost, as a full-fleged Nintendo property. Interestingly enough, this will be a first Nintendo-published mobile title that is not based on an established Nintendo IP.

Furthermore, the document reveals that Nintendo has even more plans for its mobile efforts in the future, particularly with regards to income generation. Nintendo President Kimishima Tatsumi had the following to say:
“We still want to release two to three titles a year in the smart-device business. That thinking has not changed. And at the present time, we have no intention of rapidly increasing this number each year. What we want is to release applications for smart devices that can be played for a long time, and if we can increase those kinds of titles, then we will build a lineup of titles that consumers will truly enjoy. Right now, there are not very many titles yet. I expect to see an increase in sales come about when we are able to present consumers with several enjoyable applications, including those that have already been released.”

Kimishima did not disclose an actual sales target but mentioned a dissatisfaction with the amount currently being generated in the space. “Suffice it to say that the amount we are currently not satisfied with is in the tens of billions of yen,” he added.

TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection – A Truly Bodacious Boxset

A recent trend in gaming I’m very much enjoying is companies compiling their older games into new collections for modern consoles with numerous pieces of bonus material. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT): The Cowabunga Collection is the latest of these collections bringing together the old Konami licensed turtles game’s to a new audience and it may be one of the best.

The Cowabunga Collection not only emulates each game perfectly but includes new quality-of-life features to make them more accessible than ever. Wrap this up with a presentation that oozes with fanservice and collectibles, and you have one radical little package.

Back through time
The TMNT Cowabunga Collection consists of 13 games:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Arcade)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time (Arcade)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time (SNES)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters (SNES)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist (Genesis)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters (Genesis)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game (NES)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhatten Project (NES)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters (NES)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fall of The Foot Clan (Gameboy)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Back From The Sewers (Gameboy)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: Radical Rescue (Gameboy)

At first, it may seem strange that there are multiple versions of certain games but this is because consoles back then were very different from each other in terms of power meaning that even titles with the same name can actually be incredibly different games from one another. For example, the three TMNT: Tournament Fighters games have entirely different character rosters, stages, and modes.

I won’t go over each game in the collection but I will say that the Turtles were pretty lucky. They were one of the few franchises to have licensed video games that were actually really good.

To bring up a few highlights of the collection: Both the Arcade and Super Nintendo version of Turtles in Time is considered some of the best beat ’em ups of all time and it still holds up today. The game has incredibly rich and color full sprites, fast-paced combat, and addictive music. Not to mention, being able to throw Foot Clan goons right at the screen will never not be satisfying.

The first TMNT Arcade game is likewise a great beat ’em-up. It has fluid animation that faithfully replicates the 80s cartoon and a four-player co-op that still works on the emulated version of the collection if anyone wants to get some friends around. Considering this game has only ever been re-released on consoles once for Xbox Live Arcade, its rerelease for this game is a big win for video game preservation.

Like a lot of older fighting games, TMNT: Tournament Fighters does feel a little archaic (not to mention hard as hell) compared to modern fighters but it’s still quite a ride, at the very least it’s the only fighting game I can think of that lets you play as a mutant shark man. The sprites in general are really well done and I like that the game has two story modes, one saving the Turtle’s friend April from The Foot Clan and another where all the characters are competing for money. It’s not super well written but it’s cool to see a fair amount of single-player content in a fighting game.
Emulating Turtles

Each of the games in the collection runs extremely well. Each is crisp and smooth with no noticeable glitches or frame issues. Like a lot of collections, you also have the option to set backgrounds, screen sizes, or filters if you want a more retro feel to the games. I personally don’t use these but they’re always a nice option to have.
What’s even nicer though is the new quality-of-life features for newer/casual players that want to have an easier time with these games. You can rewind the game by simply pressing the left shoulder button, saving you from death if you don’t want to start again from the beginning.

The game also includes a “watch mode” that works with every game. This allows players to watch a playthrough of the game that can be rewound or fast-forwarded through. At the press of a button, the user can jump in and start playing from wherever they wish. This essentially allows you to skip to any part of the game you want to play and bypass frustrating bosses or levels. For anyone who died in the electric Seaweed level in TMNT on NES, this could help you out.

The collection also features a number of enhancements that can be accessed on the main menu. What these do depends on each game and some are better than others. The Arcade game for example has a “God Mode” that makes you invulnerable, basically letting you break the game. Others like the NES game only allow you to turn the slow-down off or on, and that’s the game that arguably needs these the most.
More “hardcore” gamers may scoff at these inclusions but for such old games, that often were notoriously challenging, I think it’s good to offer a few quality-of-life improvements to help less seasoned players.
Turtle’s Online
There are four games in the collection that allow for online play with rollback netcode: TMNT: The Arcade Game, Turtles In Time (Arcade), Hyperstone Heist, and TMNT: Tournament Fighters (SNES).

With the online, you get two options to create a lobby or join an existing lobby. This allows other players to jump on and play. If you join an existing lobby, you’ll even be told who’s currently playing which character and what level they’re on. TMNT and Turtles in Time have a 4-player co-op, Hyerpstone Heist has a 2-player co-op and Tournament Fighters has a PvP versus mode like most fighting games.
It’s a very simple online mode that works fine but I do wish there were more options. It would have been cool if more games were playable online since multiplayer is such a big part of many of these games. All the enhancements are also turned off for online which would have been nice to fool around with.
In terms of actual performance, it’s solid, but only as long as there are two players at most. The game could get very choppy the minute a third or fourth person entered the game. It’s not completely game-breaking but it is noticeable and could get quite irritating. These games were made with local multiplayer in mind and I suppose it shows.
A Love Letter From The Sewers

Collections like to include concept art or memorabilia about the games and the TMNT Cowabunga Collections takes this to a loving extreme. On the menu, you can assess the ‘Turles’ Lair’, a hub with access to almost 4000 pieces of concept art, key art, instruction manuals, magazine articles, box art, music, and other memorabilia related to the Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles. There are even strategy guides to help you with the games in the collection.

Not only is this an enormous collection of work but the presentation is brilliant. Each type of media is derived into different sections around the Turtle’s HQ, which is heavily reminiscent of the 80s tv show. You can even do an advanced search and look at the art based on the game they’re from or the character that appears on them.
I’m admittedly not a big fan of the TMNT, but I can still tell just how much care was poured into this collection to please fans of the original series and these games. The Collection even opens with a new animated recreation of the Arcade opening, which itself is based on the 80s Series.
Turtle Power

Digital Eclipse’s work on TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection shows just how much effort can be put into a retro games collection. It truly feels like they scoured every inch of New York City for anything remotely related to the Turtles to throw into this game.
13 solid beat ’em ups, platformers, and fighting games, some of which are considered the best of the genre. Each is made more accessible with new quality-of-life enhancements and the watch mode. This is all topped off with high-definition scans of an insane amount of bonus material that is bound to make any Turtle fan happy.
The game’s online has issues and I would say the price of $40 is a bit much for a bunch of old games but when you really think of just how content this collection is on offer, I think it’s worth a look at. TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection truly does justice to our three-toed friends.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue Saga mobile game announced

Legend of the Galactic Heroes is, honestly as expected, getting on the mobile game adaptation train, with Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue Saga to be available on Android and iOS devices in the unspecified future. Aiming will be developing the title that will be based on the reboot series, Die Neue These.

At present, we only have this initial announcement for the Legend of the Galactic Heroes mobile game, and a teaser website that has the key visual and not much else. The game will be a strategy game and will feature the characters and battleships from the reboot series. You will play the part of a commander, with the lofty end goal of “galactic unification”. It will be free to play, so we can safely assume there will be some form of gacha as is usually the case, and probably also a Japan only release.

YouTuber Gets DOOM running on Game & Watch

One of the great memes of the internet has been that if it has software, you could probably get 1993’s DOOM to run on it. The software has been modified to run on everything from pregnancy tests to the touch bar of the Macbook Pro.

YouTuber Stacksmashing has uploaded a video of him getting the iconic FPS to run on the recently re-released Game & Watch.

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 103 – The Glory of The Barbie/Oppenheimer Double Feature

According to Stacksmashing, the goal was to be able to get the game to run on the re-release console only through software hacks, without needing to modify the hardware.
One of the big obstacles was the limited hardware of the Game & Watch. By modern standards, the original DOOM might seem underwhelming- all its files comes up to 4MB. While you may scoff at the small size now, the Game&Watch only comes with 1.1MB of storage, and it still needs to be able to store the code that runs it as well.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

Due to the previous constraints of not wanting to modify the hardware, he gets around this by getting a minimalist-modded version of DOOM, reducing all the textures and fonts to dramatically reduce the file size to get it to run.

At Doom’s Gate
While the final version of the game runs on the Game & Watch, don’t expect to be spending that much time clearing all your levels. It runs really poorly, with a lot of frame slowdowns.
Add that to the fact its ugly as sin, due to the lack of textures or fonts making it look like a bad mobile clone.
It’s an impressive feat, though. DOOM becoming the community standard of being able to port onto devices is a great way to bring it together, since you can always compare the different ports to each other and see what had to be cut to get the shareware legend running.

Should you pull [Captain of the Goblin Riders] Gobta in Slime ISEKAI Memories?

Gobta finally has a 5★ version in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ISEKAI Memories, but is he as overpowered as his fans think?

Related Posts

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 103 – The Glory of The Barbie/Oppenheimer Double Feature

[Captain of the Goblin Riders] Gobta is a fire-element unit that deals physical damage. His Secret Skill is a single-target attack, which is preferable over a multi-target one. Stat-wise, Gobta is very similar to Space Rimuru, sharing the same HP at 7142, but having slightly lower ATK and DEF, both just under 3,000. As for his skills, Gobta comes with an ever-useful Soul Change (2x Secrets to Divine Protection) and a self-buff that increases critical damage and counter power.
[Captain of the Goblin Riders] Gobta is basically Shizu, but in a small goblin form. He’s not bad, but not good either. His second skill synergises well with New Year’s Milim/Fire Milim as she can buff crit for the whole team, but that’s about it.

New Year’s Gobta makes a decent addition to your fire team in Slime ISEKAI Memories, but he is by no means a must-pull. We recommend saving your Magicrystals to wait and see what are the other 5★ fire characters coming this month. If you’re a super die-hard fan of Gobta, feel free to pull him, just don’t expect him to be as good as Fire Milim.

We spoke with Makoto Senoo to talk about the details and plans on Revolve8

SEGA has announced Revolve8: Episodic Dueling, a real-time strategy game for mobile a few weeks ago and now it is in the closed beta test phase. We spoke with Makoto Senoo from SEGA, who works with the Revolve8 producer Masayoshi Kikuchi and character designer Koji Igarashi to tell us more about the game.

Makoto Senoo, the PR and Marketing Spokesperson from SEGA

With the aim to “bring the fun of real-time strategy to as many people as possible”, Revolve8 will be free-to-play and is planned to release worldwide. However, the game will be available in only specific regions first before it will roll out globally. The team is planning to have 40 characters (heroes) at launch, while about 30 characters are getting featured in the CBT now.

As some of you might already know, the game allows players to build their decks from the 4 card types – Heroes, Buildings, Minions and Magic. We are curious about whether the cards will come in different tiers like Common, Rare and Legendary, Makoto Senoo confirms that there will be different tiers, but since each character has their unique strengths and weaknesses, the tiers aren’t the only factor that decides how strong a character is.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

There will be only one server for everyone including the global and Japanese players. The game will also have a guild system, you can request cards from your guild members or donate cards to the others. A seasonal ranking system with rewards will be available as well. On our question about time-limited exclusive card packs, Makoto Senoo tells us that it is in their plan, but none have been finalized for now.

We see the potential in Revolve8 to become an eSports competitive game, and joining the eSports scene is one of the biggest goals for the Revolve8 team too. However, for now their first priority is to get as many players from around the world to enjoy the game together. It is even better if you play the game with your friends!
We asked about the possibilities for Revolve8 to collaborate with other SEGA games (such as SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI Dx2), Makoto Senoo says that there is a possibility for them to do so, and the fans are welcomed to leave suggestions on collaborations on their Facebook page (they will check out the comments frequently). The page is also available in both English and Traditional Chinese so that everyone can get the updates instantly.

Of course, as a fan, we can’t wait to know more about the release date for Revolve8 as well. Makoto Senoo tells us that the actual release date is not set yet, but it is going to be out in late 2018 or early 2019 depending on the results of the CBT.
Lastly, here is a shoutout to the fans by Masayoshi Kikuchi and Koji Igarashi:
“Dear GameBraves readers, we hope to bring the fun of real-time strategy to as many people as possible, so stay tuned!” -Masayoshi Kikuchi
“Dear GameBraves readers, look forward to Revolve8’s release. This project was born from the meeting of Masayoshi Kikuchi and Koji Igarashi, and we’ve already reached 120,000 pre-registrations! We’ll post the latest information on Facebook, and we would love for everyone in Malaysia to check it out!” – Koji Igarashi

The pre-registration for Revolve8 is live now, you can sign it up if you are interested and receive the exclusive in-game rewards including a Kintaro (Hero) at launch! Also, stay tuned to their Facebook for further updates and announcement!

Terraria Not Coming To Google Stadia Following Customer Service Blunder

The developers of Terraria have announced that it would not be coming to Google Stadia, following issues faced by the developer and a lack of communication on Google’s part in resolving it.

In a Twitter thread, Re-Logic’s co-founder Andrew Spinks mentioned that he’d been having account issues with Google, losing access to Gmail, Google Play, YouTube and Google Drive. According to Spinks, his account had been disabled for three weeks, without any warning or response from Google on the matter.

“@Google [Google’s Twitter handle] my account has now been disabled for over 3 weeks. I still have no idea why, and after using every resource I have to get this resolved you have done nothing but given me the runaround”, the first of Spinks’ tweets reads.

Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

According to Spinks, the disabling of his account had cost him all of his purchases on Google Play, including his movies. On an even more dire note, he’s also lost access to Google Drive, which could have stored any number of important files.
As a result, Spinks made the decision that Terraria would no longer be coming to Google Stadia. He says he knew the action would be tantamount to burning bridges in one of his follow-up tweets.
“I absolutely have not done anything to violate your terms of service, so I can take this no other way than you deciding to burn this bridge. Consider it burned. #Terraria for @GoogleStadia is canceled. My company will no longer support any of your platforms moving forward”, he says.

Considering Terraria is available on Android devices, there’s no telling if this means he would be pulling the game from the Google Play store, too. At the time of writing, the game is still available on the app store.
This certainly comes as a blow to Google Stadia, who just recently announced the shuttering of their first-party studios, relying more on third party publishers to use the platform.
Coincidentally this wasn’t Stadia’s fault per se, but it’s certainly a blow to the platform either ways.

Char Aznable Promotes McDonalds In An Amazing New Ad Featuring the Gundam Character

Mobile Suit Gundam character Char Aznable has shown that revenge against the Zabis isn’t cheap- seemingly taking an ad deal to promote McDonalds in Japan in what can only be assumed is a fundraising effort.

In the commercial, The Red Comet is seen promoting several Char themed burgers- such as the Red Teriyaki as well as the Spicy Double Cheeseburger and the most Char-like food of all- the Newtype White Triple Cheeseburger (it has three times the beef, you see).

As far as ads go, this is pretty up there in production quality: Shuichi Ikeda reprises his role as Char with full dramatic gusto, talking about how the Triple Cheeseburger has the same aura as ace pilot Amuro Ray.
It even features new animations, all done in the style of Gundam: The Origin, as Char holds various Mcdonalds items and probably thinking about how their calories are not weighed down by gravity.

Sadly, it looks like this ad only exists for distribution in Japan, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still admire the mad effort that went into it.
Despite the grim nature of Mobile Suit Gundam, this kind of product placement isn’t out of place, especially with Char- the character has also previously promoted Toyota via the Zeonic Toyota campaign, complete with fellow Newtype Lalah Sune.

Dummies’ Guide to Valiant Force: Valiants and their different jobs pt.1

In Valiant Force, there are a total of 6 valiants. These valiants are heroes that are part of the story in the game which you can collect them. Just like any other heroes, these valiants can choose a path between their numerous job changes also have faiths. Below are the breakdown on the jobs for Valiant Darrion.

Since there is too much to write, I will be breaking them into parts. So this will just be for Darrion only. Also take note that this is just a simple guide and breakdown on the valiants and their jobs by one collective individual.

Valiants
Darrion – Holy Defender

Darrion as Holy Defender boasts the highest DEF among all the existing heroes if given the right Faith. He can cleanse negative effects by himself and has a low cooldown compared to a healers’. His aura boosts 25% of his Def to everyone affected which is very helpful to negate damage to your team. Even in PVP, he can hold his ground very well while he is debuffed on the tile.

Darrion – Paladin

The Paladin is the perfect job paired with the Royal Huntsman. Not only does the Paladin absorbs a portion of damage done by others, he also returns the damage to his attackers when his skill is active. His taunt with the Royal Huntsman’s mis-direct skill makes them a PVE oriented combo. However the taunt will not work on monsters that are newly summoned but mis-direction will still work as long as the skill is active.
Darrion – Chaos Knight

Darrion as Chaos Knight is not as popular compared to the other jobs. That is because he is not very useful when you are doing your story or event stages. He is more suited in the PVP scene where he can pack a punch by having the highest ATK stats as a guardian. His HP and DEF may be lower compared to Holy Defender and Paladin but his unique skill allows him to shine in the PVP scene. He has the mobility that none other guardians have which allows him to swap places with another on the flag tile in PVP.
Darrion – Blood Knight

Blood Knight has a high survivability when there are no healers. He can heal himself whenever he attacks. Those that are affected by his aura can also benefit from the heal whenever they attack. Due to his sustainability, he can be used both in the PVP and PVE stages. Though he is not as tanky as he should be as a guardian, his life steal compensates his lower DEF stats.

New Sony Xperia XZ2 Phone Is Better And Faster!

Sony has been the giant corporation for electronics and technology in the market which we are all grateful and thankful for during the rise-of-the-mobile-devices era. We have seen how their Xperia flagship devices performed exponentially compared to other brands. However in the last couple of years, there was something lackluster in their smartphones lineup which has led some of us to look towards other companies like the cheap and affordable, yet comparable specs of Xiaomi and OnePlus.

Not too long ago, Sony had introduced us with their new flagship series, the Xperia XZ2. As Sony’s US Head of Mobile Communications, Don Mesa told Gizmodo, “The XZ2 feels like a reset.” Which in his statement, made sense because the phone is a powerhouse comparable to the latest S9+ by Samsung. Sony has learnt to pick up from where they left off and made a great phone with what the latest in technology has to offer.

The Guts
Why is the Xperia XZ2 a powerhouse? Well it is equipped with Qualcomm’s latest chip, the Snapdragon 845, coupled with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage expandable with microSD; but you might say,”So does the Samsung S9+, so what gives?” Patience young padawan, it’s not over yet… It may be true that the specs of Xperia XZ2 is the same as Samsung’s S9+ but in it lies something far more important than their similarities; their camera. People can’t live without a good camera nowadays because selfies and memories are important.

The Sony XZ2 still has its 960 fps ultra-slow mode recording feature which was adapted from the previous XZ Premium phone. However the XZ2 is able to push it up to 1080p compared to S9+’s 720p, though it’s only for 3 seconds compared to 6 seconds on the S9+. Then Sony comes back even bigger with their 4K HDR video recording, which is the world’s first for mobile phones! As the XZ2 captures images with its 19MP camera equipped with MotionEye recording, it beats the S9+’s 12MP sensor.

With a 5.7 inches of 18:9 ratio display, Sony boasts crisp images and video playing with their embedded Bravia Engine in the Xperia series which can convert standard video into HDR-like clips with more vibrant colors and better contrast.
The Design, The Body

Compared to its predecessors, the XZ2’s exterior is different. It does not come with its box-like curvatures. Instead, Sony has brought us Ambient Flow Design, which aims to bring the ergonomics back to current phones. Though it still looks rectangular, the back of the phone is actually rounded. A curved Gorilla Corning 5 glass wraps around the back of the phone giving it some class which reminds us of the iPhone 3G.

While some manufacturers prefer “face recognition” to unlock their phones, Sony has stuck to their safe and secure fingerprint scanner which they have moved it to the back-center of the phone; easily reachable. Featuring true stereo speakers on the top and bottom of the screen, hidden underneath a grille, it gives an amazing sound experience for those who love airing their music on their loudspeakers. However this time, the XZ2 does not have a 6.5mm jack so people will require a Bluetooth headset to enjoy their music personally; which I wouldn’t mind because no cable, no tangle, no mess. And of course, it wouldn’t be a Sony Xperia if it does not have an IP68 rating for water and dust-resistance!
Sony’s New Vibration Module – photo courtesy to Gizmodo
They also took the liberty to change the vibration module to a new and improved one; stronger perhaps. Because compared to the old one, this one feels like it could shake your LEGO City into smithereens. Of course I might be exaggerating, but it is more powerful than you’ve ever felt.

Also, did you know that they have a smaller version of the XZ2? The XZ2 Compact is the “mini-me” version of the standard XZ2 of course. With most of the companies out there coming up with “bigger-is-better” smartphones, Sony has not given up on trying to make small high-end devices. But the size comes at a cost of its battery life and screen dimension, which all can be overlooked.

Sony has yet to announce their official pricing and release info of the XZ2 and XZ2 Compact but it’s also good to know first hand that there will be four colors available for the model which are black, silver, green and pink. Based on some sites, the phone is expected to be available sometime later between March and April.

The story of the game is very simple. You play a protagonist with amnesia, who finds themselves in a room in a shrine. You find girls residing here, who are ostensibly ordinary shrine maidens until the “Noroi” appear. These shrine maidens are tasked to protect people from this monsters / creatures, and so your adventure with them develops from there.
From the website preview screenshots, it uses 3D models though it’s hard to tell if it’s turn based or action. There’s a dorm system, of course, with various outfits you can dress the girls in, and also presumably partially their battle outfits. Invoke the power of gods and defeat your foes, or some such.

[E3 2019] New details revealed for Pokemon Sword and Shield

Some new info was revealed for the upcoming Pokemon Sword and Shield. At E3 2019, details for the Dynamax feature, raid battles, and a related accessory were given.

The game’s new details were revealed in the pre-recorded Nintendo Direct video and the Nintendo Treehouse live stream that followed. In the 25-minute mark of the Nintendo Direct Stream, Shinya Takahashi from Nintendo mentioned how the Poke Ball Plus accessory will allow you to take one of your favorite Pokemon from the games out for a stroll in the real world. While the exact method and effect of doing this is still unknown, he promises that “something good might happen.”

Exclusive E3 2019 demo
Visitors who are onsite at this year’s E3 get to experience an exclusive demo. In it, they are able to challenge the Water-type Gym Leader, Nessa.
The Wild Area
The Wild Area is a completely new feature that’s debuting in Pokemon Sword and Shield, containing a wide variety of Pokemon to find and battle. In this area, you will be able to meet different types of Pokemon depending on weather conditions and the time of the day. The Wild Area will also encompass multiple towns, a vast expanse where you can find not just Pokemon but also hidden items.
Follow us on Twitter

and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

Next, he spoke of “Symbol Encounter”. This is a non-random encounter system where you can actually see the Pokemon on the field. Random encounters have also been retained, which is a nice added touch if you like that randomness. The player character can also whistle and, depending on the Pokemon, may choose to approach or run away. It is a useful feature that can be used to lure certain types of Pokemon, such as flying ones.
Return of the bicycle
As mentioned, the Wild Area is huge. It’s such a large open-world that convenient transport is important. The bicycle makes a comeback here to help you with your travels. It can speed through land and even water, an ability that will certainly be important to go to areas that may be out of reach.

Y-Comms
There’s also Y-Comms, a new communication function in Pokemon Sword and Shield. With Y-Comms, stamps will appear on the left of the screen to show what other players are doing. Players can use it to indicate a desire to trade Pokemon, have Pokemon Link Battles, or team up for Max Raid Battles. With local wireless or internet connectivity, you’ll be able to see other players nearby and enjoy the game with them.
Pokemon Dens
The pillars of red light dotting the surroundings of the Wild Area are Pokemon Dens. Inside, you’ll encounter Dynamax form Pokemon in a Max Raid Battle. The thickness and color intensity of the pillars supposedly indicates the energy level of the Dynamax Pokemon. Speaking of Dynamax, this feature essentially replaces Mega-evolutions and Z-Moves from previous Pokemon titles.

Max Raid Battles
In a Max Raid Battle, up to four players can fight against the giant Pokemon. Each can only choose one Pokemon from your party or box to bring to the fight and you can’t swap it out midway through the fight. The ability to shift into Dynamax form will rotate through the players each turn and each Pokemon can only do this once. Another thing mentioned was that Pokemon in Dynamax form will have powered up moves that may have additional effects.

Once the Dynamax Pokemon has been defeated, the players get to decide who will catch the Pokemon. Those who choose not to will still receive some rewards.

That’s all we have to share for now. But as the release date is still a whole away, expect more gameplay trailers to appear in the coming months. Pokemon Sword and Shield will be out for the Nintendo Switch on 15 November 2019.

Survival Quiz City Closed Beta Impressions – Fall Guys, but smarter

Survival Quiz City is a new game from developer Bandai Namco and publisher Phoenixx that is shaping up to be a competitor against Fall Guys. The game is expected to release sometime later this year, but we were able to take part in the closed beta test for the game.

What is Survival Quiz City?

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 103 – The Glory of The Barbie/Oppenheimer Double Feature

Just like Fall Guys, Survival Quiz City is a platform battle royale game. Players play as this weird, colourful, half-human half-dinosaur like-creature as go and compete in several rounds of different obstacle courses.
The biggest difference between Survival Quiz City and Fall Guys is the quiz element. In Survival Quiz City, every round begins with a quiz. The fastest players who answer correctly are the winning team and the players who answer slower or incorrectly are the losing team.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

The winning team doesn’t need to go through the obstacle course. Instead, their job is to make things as difficult as possible for the losing team, who needs to go through the obstacle course. The winning team gets to equip weapons like guns and bombs as they try to knock off the losing team or make them waste time. Hitting the losers with your weapons will also steal money from them, which is used to buy upgrades/unlock more weapons. It’s very fun to be the winning team. There is little stress, and you feel very smart (for answering correctly) and powerful (because you can bully the losers).

The losing team’s job is to try to complete the obstacle course as fast as they can. If you’re on the losing team, you should also try to collect the coin pickups to get money, but also simultaneously avoid getting hit by the winning team so that your money doesn’t get stolen. If you fail to make it to the finishing line before the time ends, you will be eliminated.
In between rounds, all the players will be transported to the shopping area. Here, the money that they earned from the previous round(s) can be spent to buy upgrades or keys. Upgrades give players stuff like faster movement speed or a longer stamina bar. Keys are for unlocking higher tiers of weapons (only useful for winning team). Some of the higher tier weapons are quite overpowered, like the upgraded bomb which can easily knock down a group of losers and steal their money.
Depending on the rules set by the host of the room, the way the game determines the winner may be different. By default, the winner is the last person standing and the fastest player in the final round. Alternatively, there is also the Rules set called Bounty Hunter. In this mode, the player who has the most money when the final round ends, wins.

Gameplay
Even before entering a match, the waiting time in a room is very long, more than 10 minutes for me. Note that this is understandable as it was in closed beta, and there weren’t that many people playing. Each session had around 25 – 30 players.
I really enjoyed the quiz element of the game. The questions at the start of each round have 4 different answers (i.e. Who Wants To Be A Millionaire) and are mostly trivia/general knowledge questions. The 4 – 6 players (depends on how many still surviving) who answer correctly the fastest get to be in the winning team.
As the winning team, it’s pretty fun. You can set traps in advance on the obstacle course and position yourself to shoot the losers. The game becomes a third-person shooter, and you basically feel like a god.

As the losers, it’s a lot more stressful than Fall Guys. The game will put a marker on the top 3 fastest losers like it’s a racing game, so it’s extra pressuring if you’re in the top 3 as the winning team is more inclined to shoot you. Even if you’re not in the top 3, trying to complete the obstacle course while avoiding enemy gunfire is quite challenging.
Even though I say it’s stressful, I think the game did a good job in making the obstacle courses feel different from Fall Guys. The obstacle course in Survival Quiz City is not as difficult as the ones in Fall Guys—the difficulty comes from the winning team who loves to shoot anything that moves.
My biggest issue during the closed beta test is lag. The game’s servers are probably not that well optimised yet (I couldn’t choose SEA server/region). My character kept teleporting backwards because of the lag. Trying to play as the losing team is almost impossible. Hopefully, when the game officially releases, the servers will be more stable.

Visuals
Like a lot of obstacle course games/game shows, the colours are very bright and colourful. I really like the design of the player character. The half-dinosaur half-human creature looks so goofy, it’s actually pretty funny to see them run or shoot people.
Graphically I don’t have an issue with the game, but what I don’t like is the UI. The way in-game instructions or text appears feels quite low effort. Look at this example:

The text box that appears feels like something made in PowerPoint. The borders of the text box and the font that they use can be more attractive. Right now, all of the text in the game looks like this and it makes me want to claw my eyes out. I really hope the developers will improve on this aspect when the game launches. Also, there were spelling errors here and there.

Closing Thoughts
Even though my gameplay experience was super laggy and the game’s text looks ugly, I really feel that Survival Quiz City has potential. The way the game combines quizzes and obstacle course mechanics is very interesting and helps to keep each round and gameplay session different and refreshing.
Hopefully, once the game launches, the game will be more polished and the game can get popular enough so that it has enough players for matching times to be short.

Riot Job Scam Prompts Legal Action By Riot Games

Riot Games has taken legal action against people conducting a job scam, where they steal people’s money under the guise of a job interview to work at the League of Legends studio.

According to Polygon, this was more than your simple two-bit scam. The Riot Job Scam included multiple rounds of interviews, forged Discord IDs as well as forged documents, all complete with the letterheads Riot Games.

It’s not just Riot, either. Polygon’s investigation showed that the scam ring was impersonating HR from other studios such as Rockstar and Manticore, but only Riot has announced that they would be taking action so far.
“[The scam] is absolutely appalling,” Riot’s lawyers wrote in the complaint. “Their victims largely are young, naïve, and want nothing more than to work for Riot, one of the most prestigious video game companies in the world. Defendants prey on the hopes and dreams of these individuals in order to steal their identities and pillage their bank accounts.”

According to them, the fake listings would be posted on multiple websites such as Indeed, who have also since responded to the news.
“We encourage job seekers to report any suspicious job advertisements to us, or if they feel it necessary, to make a report to the police,” an Indeed representative said. “We encourage all job seekers to review our Guidelines for a Safe Job Search.”
Evidence of the fake letters, complete with letterhead. Image credit: Riot Games
The scammers would even impersonate real people working at Riot for the interview, before asking for a “refundable” or “expensable” payment for work equipment such as an iPad. As all scams go, the part about it being refundable turns out to be a lie and the scammers make off with the money.
It makes sense that Riot would be impersonated in a scam like this- the studio has grown massively in recent years, with many projects that would make a hiring blitz seem like a logical choice.

Keeping Yourself Safe
While there’s no sense blaming victims for falling for such an elaborate scam, there’s some key takeaways to take from this. The most obvious is that at no point in a job interview should you have to pay the company, and you should immediately be suspicious once you do.
The other is to just always be vigilant- if something seems suspicious it usually is, and you should trust your gut and back out if you think you’re about to lose your money in the middle of a job hunt.

[Gamescom Asia 2022] MYTONA Explains The Reason to The Day Before Delays

During the virtual media day for the upcoming annual Gamescom Asia 2022 event, we had the chance to attend the MYTONA session where they answered some questions regarding the development of The Day Before.

To those who were unfamiliar, the release date for The Day Before had been slightly delayed due to the update with Unreal Engine 5 and the publishers mentioned that they wanted to get the best possible product out to the consumer and that they didn’t mind having delaying the game if it means giving out better quality products.

Rhea Ram, the HR advisor for MYTONA quotes that: “The production of The Day Before has been going pretty well and we also have been working alongside our partner with this. There was a slight delay in the release date due to the update with Unreal, so we are trying to get the best possible product out to our consumers. We don’t mind having a slight delay if it means that it gives a better quality product.”
She also says that “It’s an interesting time for us, it’s definitely the biggest and most anticipated that we are publishing on Steam at the moment. It’s really exciting for us as a team here.”

Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory has been announced

A new Kingdom Hearts game has just been announced by Square Enix, although it is not what you think it is. Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory is in fact a rhythm game that will be making its way to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch later in 2020.  Watch the trailer below:

A rhythm game spinoff is nothing new to Square Enix of course, as the Final Fantasy franchise had its own in the form of the Theatrhythm games. As one might expect, the game will feature many hallmarks from the series, including visiting Disney worlds, and having the the likes of Goofy and Donald Duck by your side again.  This time around, instead of an action RPG, you will be hitting commands timed to the music.

As the Kingdom Hearts franchise always had a strong soundtrack, this move is particularly interesting and smart one. On top of its original arrangements, look forward to the game’s take on classic Disney songs.

Kingdom Hearts III came out in January 2019 to much fanfare, becoming a big hit in the process. With that in mind, the ending left room for a continuation, and Melody of Memory appears to be filling the gap, as it involves Kairi digging into Sora’s past. The exploration of Sora’s memories has been a staple for the franchise, as it allows new games to retell stories from past entries while implementing new mechanics. In any case, for more details on Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory, be sure to drop by the official website.
