Little Nightmares 3 update

Bandai Namco has announced a new update for Little Nightmares 3. If you own the game on Nintendo Switch 2 or Switch, the patch should be accessible starting on October 31, 2025.

The new update comes with a number of improvements. Bandai Namco also says it’s listening to the community and will “continue improving the game and enhance your experience.”

The full rundown for the upcoming patch is as follows:

Everybody's Golf Hot Shots romance system

According to the developers behind Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots, a romance system with the caddy was almost included.

This comes from a recent interview with Japanese magazine Famitsu. During the discussion, chief producer Tomokazu Fukazawa revealed that at some point, “your caddy would have confessed to you on the greens”. However, this was not implemented due to a lack of time and money.

Our full translation of the excerpt with Fukazawa and producer Takafumi Takemoto is as follows:

Pokemon Legends Z-A shiny duplication glitch

A brand new method has been discovered in Pokemon Legends: Z-A that lets players clone shiny Pokemon, which is done by taking advantage of a glitch. This works presently, but note that there’s a strong chance that it will be patched out sometime soon.

Austin John Plays shared those findings in a new video today. It’s recommended to not keep both if you plan on using Pokemon Home – meaning you hold on to one, and trade the other. That’s because if you trade one away and keep one, they are not treated as clones. Pokemon Home has a clone check system.

Another sales report is in for Pokemon Legends: Z-A, this time detailing how the game performed in Spain during its first week.

Let’s get straight to the numbers. Between October 13 and October 19, Pokemon Legends: Z-A sold 89,000 physical units at retail. This was split between 53,000 copies on Nintendo Switch and another 36,000 on Switch 2.

Halloween is almost here, and Nintendo Switch Online will be celebrating with some special Mario series user icons. Mario himself will be appearing, but other characters will be showing up as well. We have a look at some of the designs above.

You’ll need to be a Nintendo Switch Online subscription at any tier in order to claim the icons. We don’t have all of the details yet, but they should be 10 Platinum Points each on My Nintendo (at least for characters). Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch owners will have access to the event.

Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted just launched, but an update is already on the way with version 1.2.0. It will be out soon on Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch.

Various improvements and fixes are planned. EA and PopCap are touching up the graphics, audio, gameplay, and more.

The full rundown is as follows:

Nintendo has updated the Japanese Switch and Switch 2 release schedule on eShop for the week of October 30, 2025. Various new titles are on the way, highlighted by Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake, Tales of Xillia Remastered, and more.
