Much has been made of a presentation slide GameStop included in its latest financial presentation. In it, Zelda: Breath of the Wild is shown to be planned for Q1 2017. Some have taken this as a hint that the game would be out in close to Switch’s launch.

Meanwhile, Laura Kate Dale has posted a new rumor in which she claims that Nintendo is targeting a mid-June launch for Breath of the Wild in the UK, which would almost certainly go along with a worldwide launch. The company is “internally aiming” to get the Switch version out on June 16 and June 23 on Wii U.

Separately from Zelda, Dale says the Switch port for Xenoblade Chronicles X is not being handled by Monolith Soft. Instead, a porting agency has been brought in similar to Xenoblade Chronicles 3D on New 3DS. Monolith is “working on something new ground up for Switch,” which we won’t see until 2018 at the earliest.

Niantic has been testing Pokemon GO’s Nearby feature over the past few weeks and months. Primarily, those in San Francisco, California have had access. Niantic is using feedback gathered to improve the functionality.

Changes were made to the manner in which Nearby and Sightings works. Nearby in Pokemon GO now only shows if a PokeStop is close to your location.

Aside from Hawaii and Alaska, all states west of the Mississippi River can try out Nearby and Sightings. These features are also up across Australia in addition to select regions in Canada.

Head past the break for Niantic’s full message about Nearby and Sightings in Pokemon GO.
