Temtem version 1.8 to be the last major update, microtransactions to be removed
Posted on 8 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Crema isn’t done with Temtem as of yet, but is starting to move towards ending major development. Version 1.8 will be the last major update for the game.
Version 1.7 will come first with a new Season, a new Tamer Pass, balance changes, new features, bug fixing, and quality of life updates. When version 1.8 drops down the road, that’ll largely be it for the game, and it won’t have a Tamer Pass or Season. Additionally, there won’t be any more seasons. Future patches will involve polishing, bug fixing, and balancing Temtem “for as long as it needs it.”

As for what we’ll see here, it’s a bit unclear currently. Obviously we should be hearing about the latest product announcements in the LEGO Super Mario line, but specifics are being kept under wraps. LEGO teases that it “seems like something more is on the way…”

Rumor: Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD news coming for MAR10 Day
Posted on 8 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 0 comments
If you’ve been waiting to find out when Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door and Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD will be releasing on Switch, the good news is that it may not be much longer. X user Pyoro, who has a habit of leaking Nintendo announcements such as content from Nintendo Directs, now indicates that news about both titles will be shared on MAR10 Day. Presumably that will include updated launch timing.
MAR10 Day, of course, is March 10. That’s Nintendo’s way of recognizing the Super Mario franchise. Most MAR10 Days come and go without much news, with the company focusing on things like bundles and sales. However, we did get the release date for the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 4 last year, so release dates aren’t out of the question.
