Inti Creates was hoping to have Blaster Master Zero’s update ready for the game’s western launch tomorrow, but it’ll take just a bit longer. A tweet sent out earlier today notes that the patch, which adds support for the Switch Pro Controller, will be going live on March 16 instead.

Blaster Master Zero won’t just be on Switch. The 3DS is seeing a simultaneous release as well.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has all sorts of neat secrets and Easter eggs. Included among them is a small but interesting callback to the first game in the series.

You can find the video showing the Easter egg after the break. It’s not really a spoiler, but we’re trying to be extra careful. Also note that one of the special amiibo outfits is shown.

The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ was initially planned for Switch’s launch before being delayed to later in the month as a result of unspecified issues. Thankfully, the wait won’t be much longer.

Copies of The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ will contain reversible cover art and two exclusive sticker sheets along with a 20-page full-color instruction booklet.

Rime is due out later on Switch than other platforms, and when it does, it’ll be $10 more. Grey Box has since commented on the price increase with Eurogamer.

“We set prices for our products based on the costs of development and publishing for each specific platform,” the publisher said.

Rime on Switch will be the same as other versions, “though with the added freedom to take the adventure anywhere using the Switch’s portable functionality”. Tequila Works and Switch-specific developer Tantalus are “investigating the use of Switch-specific features, but we cannot confirm anything at the moment”.

Originally, Rime was targeted to launch for Switch in May alongside other platforms. However, it’s now seeing a slight delay.

Grey Box, Six Foot, and developer Tequila Works announced today that Rime’s primarily launch is set for May 26. It will ship shortly after on Switch.

The delay is a bit disappointing, but on the bright side, Rime is officially getting a retail release. We’ve included Rime’s boxart below.

The one strange thing here is Rime’s price. Today’s announcement mentions that the game will cost $39.99 / €44.99 / £39.99 on Switch, while other versions are $29.99 / €34.99 / £29.99.

Many people were upset when they found out that there was no Activity Log on Switch when Wii U and 3DS do have that functionality. We thought that it would be necessary to view similar information using the Switch Parental Controls app, but it turns out the feature was there all along.

Well, technically it’s not the same Activity Log as on the other Nintendo platforms. However, after a week of using the new console, you’ll be able to see your play time for games in your profile, at the top left of the Home Menu screen.

Here’s a look:
