Nintendo has been advertising Switch in various away over the past couple of months. We can all likely agree that the company’s biggest effort was the commercial shown during the Super Bowl a few weeks ago. Aside from the advert shown during the big game, Nintendo is marketing Switch in other various ways. It appears that commercials are even airing in movie theaters at the moment.

This actually isn’t the first time Nintendo has advertised at the movies. Many years ago, Donkey Kong Country Returns received similar treatment way back in the day.

During the 2017 Game Developers Conference today, Niantic announced that its hit mobile game Pokemon GO has exceeded 650 million downloads.

Niantic chief technology officer Phil Keslin mentioned that trainers have now walked roughly 8.7 billion kilometers (5.4 billion miles) while playing Pokemon GO. Keslin said that distance is “just shy of Pluto”, but it’s actually closer since Pluto is about 7.5 billion kilometers (4.67 billion miles) away even at its farthest distance from Earth.

Keslin added that Niantic intends to keep Pokemon GO fresh with regular content updates.
