The latest Max Raid Battle event is now live in Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield – and it’s an Easter celebration.

Azumarill, Lopunny, and Diggersby are more likely to appear. Lucky players may even encounter a Shiny Azumarill. And if that wasn’t enough, Gigantamax Cinderance may appear in five-star Max Raid Battles. While it can’t be caught, it’s possible to earn extra candies by defeating it.

Dungeon and Puzzles, a 2D spatial logic and ability switch puzzle game, made its way to Switch today. For a look at some footage, check out the video below.

Dungeon and Puzzles is out now on the Switch eShop. We have more on the game here.

When Spring 3 Re:Fine – The Story of the Marionette Witch Eirudy is released in the west, it’ll be offered physically. The Strictly Limited Games online store is now taking pre-orders for a limited edition and collector’s edition.

The two versions include:

Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom

FDG is preparing a new collector’s edition for Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom, the company announced today. It will include all launch edition goodies, a two-disc soundtrack, 64-page composer signature booklet, and cloth map.

Despite the news being shared on April Fools’ Day, FDG assures fans that the collector’s edition is a real product in the works. Additional information will be shared in the future.

April Fools’ Day is officially in full swing. As is tradition, publishers and developers are celebrating the day with all sorts of tomfoolery. There have been a number of announcements over the past day or so, though due to the event, most are not actually real.

We’ve rounded up some of the more notable Nintendo-related April Fools’ Day postings below.

Rivals of Aether - Workshop Character Pack

New content is heading to Rivals of Aether as part of a Workshop Character Pack. The team is adding four characters first designed by fans: Mollo, Hodan, Pomme, and Olympia.

Here’s a trailer:

R-Type Final 2

Following its release in Japan, the demo for R-Type Final 2 has been made available in the west. It’s out now in both North America and Europe through the eShop.

Here’s a trailer for the game:

Life is Strange: True Colors

The Life is Strange series has yet to grace a Nintendo platform, but the ESRB has reason to think that its latest entry is bound for Switch. Life is Strange: True Colors was rated for the console earlier today.

Life is Strange: True Colors was first announced last month, though there has been no word on a Switch release. Either the ESRB made an error here, or Square Enix is saving news about putting it on Nintendo’s platform for a later date.

For those that haven’t heard of Life is Strange: True Colors previously, check out the following overview and trailer:
