This month, Game Informer is publishing its 300th issue. The magazine created five covers in total to celebrate the milestone, and one of the designs based on none other than Metroid. You can get a look at the beautiful design above.

Tying in with the big issue, Game Informer is choosing the top 300 games of all time. You can bet that Metroid places high up on the list.

Can you believe it’s already been a full year since Switch launched? It’s been a whirlwind for Nintendo, as the system has been more successful than anyone could have predicted.

Switch was released less than two months after its full unveiling following last year’s January presentation. Since then we’ve seen great game after great game, including Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Splatoon 2, and others – and that’s just on the first-party front. Many fantastic third-party games and hit indie titles have helped make Switch’s first year special.

Switch’s first year is officially in the books. We can’t wait to see what lies ahead for the console in the years to follow.

Here are a few messages from Nintendo and other developers:

The Xenoblade Chronicles 2 soundtrack was announced earlier this week with various versions. The Luxury USB Music Complete Edition sold out almost as soon as pre-orders went live as just 2,000 units will be produced, but the limited Deluxe Edition (otherwise known as the Luxury CD Music Complete Edition) also ended up selling out.

Fortunately, Amazon Japan has decided on one final restock for the Luxury CD Music Complete Edition. You can reserve it here. Keep in mind that it won’t be restocked again when pre-orders sell out, and no other retailers will be selling this version.

The Luxury CD Music Complete Edition contains all 126 tracks from Xenoblade Chronicles 2, including sixteen jingles and five piano arrangements. It’ll come in a special box with a 120-page booklet, piano score, and message card.

The Sexy Brutale has been updated on Switch, bringing the game up to version 1.0.4. Tequilla Works hasn’t commented on the latest patch, but we should have a decent idea as to what it does.

Tequilla Works has previously said that an update was in the works to improve performance and resolution when docked and playing in portable mode, to solve some freezing issues, and to fix some text strings. This was intended to be addressed with version 1.0.3, which was pulled soon after going live due to its ineffectiveness. We assume that the original planned improvements are finally live, but we’ll let you know if Tequilla Works commented on the new update officially.

Sometimes after a new update is released, we find out about something not included in the official patch notes. That’s the case with Xenoblade Chronicles 2 version 1.3.0.

After applying the update, fans have noticed that a couple of extra title screens have been added for New Game+. You can see them below. If you’re playing the game (or intend to later), we’d advise completing the story before viewing the video.
