In Super Mario 64, King Bob-omb awaits you as the boss of Bob-omb Battlefield. On the way up to the top of the mountain where the battle takes place, players need to navigate through a pit of two rolling balls.

What happens after you defeat him is very interesting. Instead of two balls, the pit will instead have three on every star following the battle. Fans now believe that the new ball is King Bomb-omb himself.

The first bob-omb you come across in Bob-omb Battlefield will mention that the King was a “dud.” Coupled with the fact that the ball would resemble the King if given facial features, the theory is definitely plausible. Some players may have noticed some of these things in the past, but they’ve definitely not been widespread.

Another developer has come forward with plans to make games for Switch. QubicGames will initially be bringing two titles to the platform: 2 Fast 4 Gnomz and Audio Hero. Both were confirmed as part of the company’s latest financial report.

2 Fast 4 Gnomz (Geki Yaba Runner) is a name that should sound familiar, as it came to both WiiWare and the 3DS eShop. Audio Hero is a bit more under-the-radar, but we can say that it’s a platformer and runner with simple controls in which the player’s interactions are synchronized with the music. It will initially arrive on various platforms during the second half of 2017.

We should note that QubicGames does not actually appear to have access to development kits for Switch as of yet. But given the studio’s presence on Nintendo platforms over the years, it shouldn’t be too long before that changes.

Following Switch’s announcement video, EA was confirmed as one of many partners on board with Switch. However, no specific titles have been announced thus far. While that may be so, we’ll be seeing at least one of EA’s projects on Nintendo’s new system, and it’ll be a significant one.

At the UBS Global Technology Conference, EA CFO Blake Jorgensen teased:

“In terms of Nintendo, in their announcement they announced that we’ll be supporting with a game or two on that new platform. We haven’t yet announced what game, but you should assume that it’s one of our bigger games we’ve been involved with.”

Jorgensen also spoke about Switch more generally, stating:

“We’re excited for Nintendo, it’s an interesting device, but I can’t yet predict how broad it’s going to be, and will people be interested in a portable device alongside their regular portable device that they have.”
