One fan has gone above and beyond to fully customize a Switch unit. Every aspect has been redone to match the style of the Super Famicom – the console itself, the individual Joy-Con controllers, and even the dock.

What was used here are some really nice-looking skins. You can get a closer look at the customized Switch below with various photos.

This sort of makes you wonder if and when Nintendo will start coming out with different designs for Switch aside from just various Joy-Con colors. There were a ton of different options with the 3DS, so it wouldn’t be out of the blue to try something similar now.

Much like the Wii U version, Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition supports online play. There is a key difference separating the two versions though: audio gamechat.

This is something included with Minecraft on Wii U. But with Switch, no such option exists. It’s thought that we won’t be seeing it until Nintendo finishes the upcoming smartphone app.

Another NeoGeo game has received a release date on the Switch eShop. Next Thursday, Galaxy Fight: Universal Warriors will be available. The Japanese eShop lists it for May 18. NeoGeo games tend to arrive during the same week worldwide, so we expect this to continue with Galaxy Fight.

Galaxy Fight: Universal Warriors will be priced at $7.99 / €6.99 / £6.29.

It was announced a couple of months ago that Rime would be priced at $39.99 / €44.99 / £39.99 on Switch. That’s despite the fact that all other versions will be sold for $29.99 / €34.99 / £29.99. Naturally, people weren’t happy about the $10 price hike, but publisher Grey Box is looking to soften the blow.

Rime’s digital version will now cost $10 less, down to $29.99 / €34.99 / £29.99. Although the physical version’s price isn’t changing, it will now include a printed code for a download of the full soundtrack, which will normally cost $10 on its own.

Grey Box reiterated today that the original price difference comes down to “the additional development, manufacturing, and publishing costs” on Switch. If it were any lower, Rime would be sold at a loss.

Below is the full message from Grey Box:
