Gamescom 2017: Nintendo Switch Getting Special Rocket League Cars

Gamescom 2017: Nintendo Switch Getting Special Rocket League Cars

, , , , , 0

One of the biggest surprises at E3 2017 was that Psyonix was going to bring their popular title Rocket League to the Nintendo Switch. Since then, fans have been wondering what the version will have, and what it won’t have. Psyonix has said it will have ALL the features of the other games, but, it will also have exclusive things to the Nintendo Switch version. And, at Gamescom 2017, a new trailer for these special cars was shown, and they’re awesome. Basically, the cars are getting a new paint job of sorts, and will be stylized after Mario, Luigi, and Samus Aran. And though we shouldn’t do favorites…the Metroid car is awesome. Rocket League will arrive on Nintendo Switch this Holiday season.

Which One Of You Told Nintendo About These Things?

Last week we pointed out over 100 issues of Nintendo Power were available to virtually leaf through at the Internet Archive. At the time we were among the first to point it out, and sensing a viral wave of reports was about to hit (and it did) we made it a point that the magazine scans were NOT from Nintendo and were uploaded by a volunteer last February. We also wondered how long it would take before one of these uploads was caught. Not long! Within two days every major website with a video game interest had reported on the existence of the scans. It got Nintendo’s attention, and their lawyers send a C&D to the Archive, resulting in the scans disappearing. At the same time, a fan-created remake of Metroid 2: Return of Samus called AM2R was also making waves and getting reports. It was almost like the media was testing Nintendo to see how much the company would tolerate. If they had problems with a bunch of old

If you’re looking for a remake done right, look no further than Metroid: Zero Mission, a remake of the original NES Metroid game that was first released in 2004 for the Game Boy Advance. A fan favorite among many, it retells the original story (which wasn’t very developed with 1986 technology) of Samus’s original mission to Planet Zebes to stop Ridley and Kraig and exerminate the deadly Metroid species. This is also the game that Zero Suit Samus originated in, but for the sake of those who have never played, we won’t tell you where. “Space bounty hunter Samus Aran is sent on a lone mission to infiltrate the fortified planet of Zebes. Traverse through the mazelike base of operations for the Space Pirates, gaining access to powerful upgrades and items for your weapons and suit. Locate Mother Brain, and put a stop to the replication of Metroids!” Look for Metroid: Zero Mission tomorrow, January 14, in the Wii U eShop. Some might complain about the lack of a 3DS

At E3 last week, Nintendo made a bold move by revealing Metroid Prime: Federation Force, a Metroid game does not feature Samus at all. For Metroid fans, this was a slap in the face. The Metroid fanbase has been very vocal in that they want a return for the Metroid series in the vein of the Metroid Prime trilogy (there was Other M, but we don’t speak of that). And yet, it’s been a very long time and we have no word on whether that’s ever going to happen at all. Speaking on this matter, Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime spoke to Kotaku and stated the following: “Look, we know that the fans want a straight Samus Aran game,” Fils-Aime told Kotaku. “We also know that the best way to launch a game like that is to surprise and delight them, to give them a launch date, in an environment like this let them play it vs. what other companies do which is to announce a project that you may not see

Zero Suit Samus’s position as Nintendo’s fan service appeal was cemented Tuesday after Super Smash Bros. Game Director Masahiro Sakurai revealed a new alternate costume for the character. Sakurai revealed a screenshot of the new costume in a Miiverse update depicting both the Wii U and 3DS versions of the outfit. Notably, the costume takes the design of  an armorless Samus from the Metroid Fusion and Metroid: Zeo Mission games, where players could unlock an image of an armor-less Samus by beating the game under a specific time limit and unlocking a certain number of items. Alongside the new screenshot Sakurai wrote, “Pic of the day. Looking at the number of days we have left for development, it would be an impossible task to create this… That’s what I told my staff. But thanks to the determination of her female designer, these Zero Suit outfits got completed in time. From the ending of Metroid: Zero Mission, here’s Samus in shorts!” Pictured above, the new costume’s design is notably barer in fabric
