If you try to access pretty much any online service on your Nintendo Switch right, such as accessing the eShop, you’ll notice that, well, you can’t. Nintendo just sent out a notice that all network services on the Switch are currently unavailable. This has been going on since 17:56 JST, so for a bit over an hour. Nintendo are looking into the problem.

There are currently two Gear.Club games on Nintendo Switch – Gear.Club Unlimited and Gear.Club Unlimited 2. However, it seems like a third one might be on its way. French retailer Cultura has a listing for “Gear.Club – Tracks Edition”. The game is listed for a release on June 11, 2020, with a price of 49,99 €. However, all the media on the page and the game’s description are just for the first Gear.Club Unlimited. This might imply that this supposed game is a sort of “complete edition” with all DLC included – or it might just be a mistake on the retailer’s part. As such, take this listing with a grain of salt at the moment. Hopefully we’ll hear something official soon.

Back in 2018, video game adaptations of popular game shows Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune were released on Nintendo Switch in the US. The games are available both individually and as a retail double-pack called “America’s Greatest Game Shows: Wheel of Fortune & Jeopardy!”. So far, neither game has been available outside the US, but that could now change. PEGI, the age rating agency for many European countries, has now rated both Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune, suggesting that a release of both games in Europe soon is fairly likely.

In addition to being a cloud-based storage solution for Pokemon, Pokemon Home also offers users various challenges and rewards when you complete them – most notably the Original Color Magearna, which could not be legally obtained any other way previously. To get it, you needed a complete “living” Pokedex, i.e. one copy of every Pokemon in Pokemon Home. However, many users who had completed that challenge didn’t receive Magearna. A maintenance has recently been completed which fixed these issues. Additionally, according to Serebii, the condition to get Original Color Magearna is now much easier to achieve – it seems like you only need a complete National Pokedex registered in Pokemon Home, but not a living one. For example, you only need to evolve Bulbasaur to Ivysaur and then to Venusaur, but you don’t need individual copies of Bulbasaur, Ivysaur and Venusaur anymore. However, keep in mind that this hasn’t been officially confirmed yet.

Genshin Impact has updated its official website, offering new details on Bennett, one of the characters in the game:

Bennett (voiced by Ryouta Ousaka)

“Weather’s not bad today… Oh, crud! Now that I’ve said that, it’s bound to rain.”

The few young adventurers that the Mondstadt Adventurers’ Guild has always find themselves tangled up in baffling bouts of bad luck.

He is the only active member of his own adventure group, known as “Benny’s Adventure Team,” after all the other members decided to “take leave” following a series of unfortunate incidents. As a result, the team is currently on the verge of being dissolved.

Being unable to break the poor boy’s heart, Katheryne of the Adventurers’ Guild has kept “Benny’s Adventure Team” on the books, whilst also hiding from him the fact that all the other members have long since officially left the team.
