Metroid: Samus Returns Legacy Edition up on Amazon France
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
Update: Now gone. Only lasted a few minutes.
Original: Amazon France is taking pre-orders for the Metroid: Samus Returns Legacy Edition. You can reserve it here.
Despite the page saying otherwise, Amazon France will ship to the US. However, unlike Switch, 3DS is region-locked. You’ll need a European system to actually play the game. Or perhaps you’re interested in the extras.

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 1 Comment
Sumo Digital introduced a new Snake Pass update late last month. It was a pretty substantial one, adding in Time Trials and leaderboards on Switch. However, that pesky rumble bug was brought back with the patch.
On the bright side, Sumo has been quick to address the situation. Another Snake Pass update is now available, bringing the game to version 1.2.1. You should notice that the rumble issues have once again been addressed.

Splatoon 2 file size; smaller than initial listing from two months ago
Posted on 6 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch eShop | 3 Comments
Two months ago, we reported that Splatoon 2 will have a file size of 5.5 GB, based off of a listing on Amazon Japan. Today, the Splatoon 2 page on the European Switch eShop was updated, and it now displays a file size of 3.1 GB. It’s safe to assume that this size is probably more accurate than the one on Amazon. It’s unlikely that language differences account for that much of a difference so Nintendo probably managed to compress the game’s files quite a lot in the last two months.
