Nintendo Switch

A new system update has just gone live for Switch. Version 3.0.2. is out now for all users.

According to Nintendo, online play has been added in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Peru. The feature is available for free until the paid online service launches in 2018. “General system stability improvements to enhance the user’s experience” have also been implemented.

The previous update for Switch was at the very end of July. It addressed an issue with the display of the remaining battery charge.

Dragon Marked For Death

Inti Creates announced its new game Dragon Marked For Death during the Nindies Showcase last week. Get a look at a bit of off-screen footage below.

Nintendo and Capcom sadly decided against bringing the Monster Hunter Stories amiibo west. However, all of the figures from Japan work with the game, and can be used to unlock special Monstie eggs. IGN shows them all off below.

Like we heard towards the end of last week, Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes will allow users to play with just a single Joy-Con. Director Suda51 isn’t forgetting about that other controller though. And in an interview with Polygon, it was strongly suggested that the game will feature multiplayer.

Suda51 teased:

“As far as what’s going to happen with the other Joy-Con, at this point technically it’s still a secret. [We’re] going to be releasing information at some point in the future, [but] as you can see, there are … two main characters, so draw your own conclusions, if you want.”

Assuming Travis Strikes Again includes multiplayer, this would be the first entry in the series with the functionality.
