Nintendo World Championships Returns After 25 Year Hiatus

After dropping out of the limelight for 25 years the Nintendo World Championships will make a triumphant return at E3

During a 3 day event in 1990 Nintendo held their last Nintendo World Championships event in Dallas to kick off a 30 city promo tour. Players went head to head in games like Chip & Dale’s Rescue Rangers, Astyanax, Batman, Robocop, and Super Mario Bros. 3. All fighting for the coveted Nintendo World Championship Cartridge. The event was a precursor to the esports championships we know and love today. A part of the gaming world Nintendo has been sorely lacking in over the last 25 years and something they are ready to change.

Today Nintendo announced that the Nintendo World Championships would be coming out of their 25 year hiatus, returning at E3 on Sunday June 14th. On their E3 website the company said “For the first time in 25 years, some of Nintendo’s biggest fans will get to go head-to-head in a gaming showdown for the ages. Join a worldwide audience by watching the live stream on Sunday, June 14,” The qualifying competitions will kick off on May 30 with Nintendo promising details on how to enter soon.

Unfortunately there was no word from the Big N about what games players will be competing in during the Nintendo World Championships. Although Super Smash Bros. is sure to be at the front of the line, especially with how popular it’s become in esports. No matter what games are up for the championships the event is sure to draw in thousands of participants and finally bring Nintendo into the esports world. The Big N has been oddly absent from the competitive gaming scene, with its fans making a stronger push to create a competitive scene for Nintendo’s games.

The Nintendo World Championships are also going to rev gamers up for Nintendo’s E3 press conference on Tuesday June 16th where they plan to reveal details on upcoming games and more. They plan on keeping that momentum going on the trade show floor through its “Treehouse” stream all they way through June 18th.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
