Update 2: The game’s website has now opened, and while Vroom in the Night Sky is still coming to Europe and Japan this week, it’s on track for North America in “March”. It may not be a launch title in the states after all.

Update:

Here’s a trailer:

Original (2/28): At the end of last week, the full Switch eShop lineup was announced for Japan. One of the announced games was Soratobu Bunbun Baan, coming from Kersploosh! developer Poisoft. We now not only have first details about the title, but also a confirmation that it’s launching around the world (North America, Europe, Australia, Japan) on the same day – March 3.

Vroom in the Night Sky will be the final English title. It’s about Magical Girls racing with bikes instead of brooms, and their objective is to gather Stardust.

The game will also make use of Switch’s HD Rumble feature to simulate engine vibration, wind pressure, and impact. The vibration will change with each type of motorcycle. Stardust collected are used to purchase new Magical Bikes.

Update: Few more photos:

Original: Remember when Reggie said that Switch wouldn’t use Friend Codes? Unfortunately, it seems that was incorrect.

Now that people are starting to download Switch’s first update, we’ve learned that Friend Codes are indeed a part of the system. You can search for other Switch owners using their Friend Code.

Don’t be entirely disappointed though. Switch does let you search for users nearby to add, and you can also search for those you’ve played with. It appears that Switch will also offer you friend suggestions based on who you’ve connected with previously in other Nintendo titles – such as the mobile release Super Mario Run.

The very first update for Switch is now live. Version 2.0.0 should be making its way out to all users. Of course, the system officially launches tomorrow, though some folks have early access – such as reviewers and those who managed to pick up the platform slightly early.

After applying the update, you should be able to access the eShop. It also adds other features such as online play, the ability to earn points for retail releases on My Nintendo, and more.
