About Leon Fletcher

I am a huge Nintendo fan, hence why NintyBuzz exists. I especially love all things Zelda and Metroid. NintyBuzz was started by me back in the Summer of 2014, it started out mainly as a hobby, though the site has gradually grown, and I hope it grows for many years to come!

E3 2018 – Splatoon 2 Octo Expansion Launching Tomorrow, New Amiibo, and Updates

A nice surprise announcement was made during the Splatoon 2 World Championship Finals last night, the long awaited paid DLC for Splatoon 2, Octo Expansion, is launching tomorrow. That’s right, tomorrow morning (this evening for our US visitors) you can purchase/download the brand new single player experience for Splatoon 2!  Explore the depths of the underground facilities over 80 brand new challenging missions as an Octoling agent.

That’s not all that was announced. Later in the year, Nintendo will be releasing three brand new Amiibo based off the expansion. These are Octoling Boy, Octoling Girld, and Octoling Octoform! No word yet on what features these will unlock, though it’s probably safe to assume that they will have similar usability as the Inkling Amiibo.

Finally, Splatoon 2 producer, Hisashi Nogami, announced that free updates for Splatoon 2 will be extended by another six months until December. Expect brand new gear, weapons, and stages to drop throughout the rest of the year!

What are your thoughts on these announcements? What do you think of E3 2018 so far? Tell us in the comments below!

E3 2018 – Nintendo Direct Overview and Reactions

Unfortunately I could not post live updates as I was hosting an E3 viewing party as part of BourneNintendo as well as manning the E3 Bingo Board. I’ve decided that, instead of posting all the updates in multiple posts, I’ve decided to just talk about everything, along with my reactions, in this one post. Not only will it save us bandwidth (not a total issue), but you don’t have to keep loading new posts! Win win!

Anywho, I swear I always start off with the same statement, or similar, either way, that was definitely an interesting Nintendo Direct. I was pleasantly surprised by a lot of announcements as well as impressed, though there have definitely been better Nintendo Directs in the past. Heck, the Nintendo Direct before this one felt more like an E3 Direct!

Without further ado, if you missed out on the direct, you can find our recap after the break!

E3 2018 – Fallout Shelter Announced For Switch

Earlier this morning (at the ungodly hour of 2:30am) Bethesda hosted their conference for this year’s E3. Unfortunately there weren’t many Switch announcements during the conference, however it was revealed that the popular mobile spin-off, Fallout Shelter, is coming out for the Nintendo Switch, and that it is available now!

For those who are unaware, Fallout Shelter puts you in the shoes of the overseer of your very own Vault-Tec brand vault. Create a brighter future, underground by creating your brand new vault. Oversee your own community of vault dwellers, provide them with entertainment and jobs, help them protect your vault from raiders and other radioactive nasties, and so much more.

Prepare your dwellers for the fallout out anytime and anywhere, right now, and for free!

REVIEW – Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido

All sushi is gone.
Violently, bellies rumble.
Children weep in pain.

A striker will rise.
Liberation for sushi.
Quick! My belly hurts!

Does Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido perform better than the ultimate sushi master, or is it more pungent than the strongest wasabi (or my haikus)? Find out in our review, after the break!

Nintendo’s E3 2018 Overview

With E3 2018 hitting off in just under one week, Nintendo have taken the initiative to explain their plans for E3 in more detail, as well as announce the official name of their video presentation: ‘Nintendo Direct: E3 2018’… who couldn’t see that coming!

Attendees of E3 will be excited to learn that both Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo Switch and Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee, along with other games, will be playable on the show floor. Those who wish to play Smash Bros. will need to register a timeslot beforehand however. Additionally, if you are caught playing your own Nintendo Switch while roaming the show floor, not only may you trip yourself up, but a Nintendo rep may also give you a super limited edition pin too!

All the details can be read after the break!
