FCC filing may point to non-removable battery for Switch

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 23 Comments

A new FCC filing is now up for the Switch. Engadget has one takeaway from the listing pertaining to the included battery.

Based on what Engadget has seen from the FCC filing, Switch will likely have a non-removable battery. This is somewhat different from Wii U, as gamers are able to replace the battery in the GamePad for more runtime. With Switch, doing something similar might not be possible. There’s still a slight chance that it could change by March since a production prototype was reviewed, though it’s intended to be equivalent to a mass-produced model.

If you’d like to view the full FCC filing, head on over here. Just be warned that there’s a whole lot of technical stuff involved.

Rumor: Crashmo World was cancelled for Wii U

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U eShop | 27 Comments

Nintendo and Intelligent Systems released the successful 3DS eShop puzzler Pushmo before moving on to Crashmo one year later. Pushmo World was then made back in 2014 for Wii U. Apparently, the franchise was intended to have another entry on the console.

After finishing Pushmo World, Intelligent Systems pitched an idea to Nintendo that would give Wii U the same treatment as Crashmo had on 3DS. The working title was, unsurprisingly, Crashmo World. Development moved along in 2015 and progressed for a year, but Intelligent Systems started to shift resources over to Switch.

Crashmo World was actually planned as a 2017 title on Wii U. There was some discussion about potentially moving it over to Switch, though it was ultimately canned instead.

Here’s the full report from Liam Robertson:
