Farewell to 2020 Charity Stream

2020 has been a bit naff, hasn’t it, so what’s a better way to say farewell than to spend some quality time playing games with others while also supporting all the healthcare workers that have been working endlessly during the COVID-19 Pandemic? This Thursday we’ll be doing just that. We have a nice schedule of different games to play on Nintendo Switch we can all play together live on Twitch. In addition to our line-up of online gaming, we will also be hosting a fundraiser, raising money for the NHS Charities Together organisation to show our support for the countless healthcare workers who have received the brunt of this hellish year.

During the live stream, there will also be a chance to win a £50 Nintendo eShop voucher. There are a variety of ways to increase your chances of winning, though some of them won’t be clear until the actual day, so it is definitely worth tuning into the stream for further improve the odds.

You can check out our full schedule and info on how to enter our giveaway after the break!

NintyPlays – Ty the Tasmanian Tiger HD

Recently, I’ve been streaming more regularly over on our Twitch profile. Most of the streams have been multiplayer-focused to support Nintendo Players UK and their NPUK Online campaign, however, we have also been starting our own play-through series: NintyPlays!

Every Friday, we have been playing through Ty the Tasmanian Tiger HD on Nintendo Switch. Even though tomorrow we will be concluding the game, I am hoping to continue the series with even more titles. If you were not able to catch the play-throughs live, never fear as we have also been uploading each one to YouTube. Please check out the game so far below. Don’t forget to check out our Twitch profile too!

Other Nintendo Gamescom News from Day One

The other big news of the day was a release date for Fire Emblem Warriors on both Switch and New 3DS: 20th of October. In Europe at least, the Switch version is also available in a Limited Edition Bundle that will include the game, a 3-disc soundtrack collection and character cards.

For Pokkén enthusiasts, the announcement of the Pokkén Tournament DX demo being released on the eShop this Thursday was quite exciting. Anyone unfamiliar with the game is also encouraged to try it.

And finally – although technically only speculation at this point – it was strongly implied that Final Fantasy XV will be coming to the Switch at some point. When talking through a translator about Final Fantasy XV “about what other things we have planned in the future“, Hajime Tabate of Square Enix said “there’s a certain other console that sounds a lot like ‘Twitch'” and that “everyone on Final Fantasy XV, they love this specific console that sounds a lot like ‘Twitch’“.

Amazon Buys Twitch

Video game streaming service Twitch, though only developed since 2011, has become loved by many gamers as it allows them to live stream gameplay or watch other people play games. In July, they hit over 55 million unique monthly viewers just proving how popular it is. About a month ago there were plans for Google to acquire Twitch for a large sum of money, unfortunate for Google however, Amazon recently stepped in and bought the service for a total of $970 million [that’s about £585 just across the pond].

Check out some statements and thoughts about this acquisition after the break!

Twitch Could Come to 3DS

No, the handheld isn’t getting nervous ticks. I am talking about the streaming service. Twitch is one of the biggest streaming services in the world which allow its users to stream live gameplay footage. It racks up around 45 million unique views per month (that’s definitely a whole lot more than us).

In a recent interview between GamesIndustry and Twitch COO, Kevin Lin, Lin revelled that they are looking into bringing the popular platform to handheld consoles such as the 3DS and PS Vita. Though he goes on to mention that due to CPU concerns, it might only be possible for viewing only, rather than broadcasting.

On mobile we just released our first in-game integration, with Asphalt 8 from Gameloft. For now, we’re going to be doing that game by game. Handhelds. That’s something we’d love to do. On handhelds it’s more of a server/CPU concern, but we definitely want to do it. We want to build viewing apps, that’s much less CPU intensive than broadcasting.

Personally, I feel this would definitely be in the right direction for Nintendo, and it makes sense for there being a Twitch app on the Vita, seeing how you can broadcast gameplay straight from the PS4. Maybe one day we will see Twitch arrive on the Nintendo Wii U.
