Did you purchase Monopoly on Switch this past week? If so, you may have encountered a significant issue with loading.

Kotaku reports that simply booting Monopoly up can take anywhere from five to 10 minutes. Starting a fresh match against AI players can take another five to 10 minutes, or possibly more. That’s not good.

– Sharing stages in Stage Builder, including with friends
– Posting replays to YouTube
– Creating Normal Tourneys
– Tourney Mode will be ending entirely
– Miiverse stage can still be played, but messages will not be displayed and you can’t post messages once a match is over

A new Super Mario Run update has gone live on iOS. As far as we’re aware, it is not available on Android.

One part of the update makes adjustments so that Super Mario Run properly fits the iPhone X screen. Nintendo also fixed these two issues:

– An issue where players could not perfectly clear a course has been resolved.
– An issue where some items did not appear in the Notebook has been resolved.

If you have Super Mario Run on iOS, version 3.0.6 can be downloaded now.

Thanks to Cameron for the tip.
