All of the important details can be found in the following overview:
Choice Provisions will release a Nintendo Switch 2 version of Bit.Trip Rerunner, it’s been confirmed. A campaign to port the game over has been taking place on Kickstarter and the $50,000 goal has been met less than three days before crowdfunding ended.
Bit.Trip Rerunner is a new take on the classic rhythm platformer. Additionally, a level designer is included.
Bit.Trip has a long history on Nintendo platforms and the entire series is currently available on Switch. The franchise originally started out on WiiWare back in 2009.
The Nintendo Switch app has received an update, and version 3.3.0 is available. It’s going out now on iOS and Android.
Once the update is installed, you’ll be able to access the new feature that lets you save notes about your friends. This was also just added on Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch.
The full overview of the patch is as follows:
Kirby Air Riders has a decently-sized roster, but many of the characters are enemies. In a new post today, director Masahiro Sakurai explained why that is.
What it comes down to is that it was “easier to create Riders out of enemy characters.” With the different skills in play, they “can be understood by looking at each enemy character’s design.” This is true even from a distance.
Sakurai’s full words:
A big feature has just made its way to Nintendo Switch 2 with the Handheld Boost Mode.
When playing a game on the system, there are specific restrictions in place when docked or in handheld mode. Now, however, the lines have been blurred a bit.
Nintendo has just come out with the latest Switch 2 and Switch update, which is version 22.0.0.
Unlike the past few patches, there’s actually a decent amount here. With one new feature, you can now save notes about your friends on the Friend List. This can be used to help you remember who they are.
Something else new here is Handheld Mode Boost. We’ve made a separate report on that feature here.
The full rundown of the update is as follows:
CFK and DeerFarm today unveiled Shikhondo: Blue Pieta for both Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch. A release window was not provided for these platforms.
Shikhondo: Blue Pieta is the next entry in the Eastern fantasy bullet hell series. This time around, it’s side-scrolling for the first time.
Here’s what we know so far:
Another leaked beta screenshot has surfaced for Pokemon Winds and Pokemon Waves. The image specifically comes from a build made a couple of years ago.
Obviously the final game won’t look like what’s in the screenshot. If nothing else, it’s an interesting peek behind the curtain. What’s interesting is that the screenshot was taken during a point when the project was still targeting Nintendo Switch instead of Switch 2.
Below is the latest beta screenshot leak for Pokemon Winds and Waves:
Today, GameStop said it has “issued an official declaration” that the Wii U is now a retro console. The same also goes for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
The retailer had a bit of fun with this on social media, saying it made the determination “following careful analysis of multiple indicators” which includes “the presence of component cables, the lack of Fortnite, and the realization that they launched when George W. Bush was still president.”
