On the official Ubisoft Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle webpage there is now an interview with one of the characters of the game, Rabbid Peach. It’s definetly a pretty quirky thing to do, you can see the first few snippets below and the entire interview here if you are craving more.

First off, it’s a pleasure to have you here Rabbid Peach! How are you adjusting to your new life here?

“Well, it’s certainly…different. There’s a lot of butt to kick, and you KNOW I do it well. I might not have a nose, but I can smell my enemies’ fear! There’s definitely not enough class for a girl like me though, have you SEEN the clothes these bad guys are wearing? Yuck.”

Understandable! You mentioned kicking butt there, care to elaborate?

“Oh gosh, it’s easy really, darling. I mean the rest of my beloved team might struggle sometimes, but I’ll gladly put them all on my back. These bad guys mean nothing to me, if anything they’re just good exercise!”

Here’s a little something that you may or may not have known about Switch. When touching the screen on the Home Menu, the sound is directly related to the surface area of your tap. With a larger surface, there’s a lower pitch.

I admit that I could be genuinely oblivious here, but I honestly had no idea about this – in part due to how little I use the touchscreen. Hopefully I’m not the only one.

The first round of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s DLC released today. Among the various features and items introduced is a new Tingle costume. If you approach the villagers in one of the game’s towns, they’ll almost be sent into a panic, and they’ll watch your every move.

You can see Link interacting with villagers in his new Tingle outfit below. Have to admit that it gave me a good chuckle.

One fan has repurposed an old Game Boy Advance SP into a Switch dock. Alexander Blake, who had a broken system lying around, realized that the dock’s circuit board is basically the size of Nintendo’s old handheld.

All of this was done by removing what was in the GBA SP. Blake then simply transferred the parts inside of a Switch dock. Finally, a hole was carved above and inside the screen so that the port connecting to the Switch would fit and be protected.

Here’s a closer look:

The Pokémon Company has revealed a stunning projection based art installation created alongside fashion designer Yoshio Kubo.

The fascinating installation uses a range of different sized mirrored pyramids and projections of the culturally iconic Pikachu and PokéBall, with the aim of demonstrating the various stages of fashion creation.

The beautiful Pokémon installation was premiered to the attendees of Yoshio Kubo’s catwalk presentation, as well as being on show to the general public who also had the chance to view the installation as part of Pitti Immagine Uomo.

This installation is the first time that The Pokémon Company has had a presence at such a high profile fashion event. After the success of the installation, The Pokémon Company is continuing to seek further partners to collaborate with in the fashion space.

Fans have added all sorts of characters and creations to Super Smash Bros. over the years with mods. But truly, the latest one is truly a sight to behold.

Available for Smash Bros. on Wii U is Kirby… with human feet. It was essentially made as a joke of sorts and as a response to some fan art that caught on with the internet earlier this year. The mod does have some issues, but creator LuckyJero wants to leave the imperfections in place to keep them in place. You know, to keep up with the joke and all.

The Switch durability tests aren’t finished just yet. UnlockRiver shared a new one today, which has the system being dropped from a ridiculous 1,000 feet.

Believe it or not, the Switch unit did survive. One of the Joy-Con controllers broke off, but it’s easily replaceable. The unit as a whole still worked amazingly enough.

Here’s the full video from UnlockRiver:

One Japanese boy made his own Switch out of cardboard, which his father – known as Mohikan on Twitter – noticed. He ended up surprising him, and in a pretty thoughtful way.

Mohikan put a real Switch into a cardboard mock-up while his son was taking a bath. On Twitter, he wrote: “I wonder when he’ll notice.”

When you take your Switch unit out of the box for the first time, you expect it to be entirely new. Yet one user found the screenshot above on the system when starting it up following the initial boot.

It’s thought that the image is from a quality check program not typically made available to consumers. Perhaps the person operating this Switch unit accidentally pressed the screenshot button, or forgot to delete the photo during the testing process. In any case, it’s not something that you generally see, so it’s pretty interesting to see this pop up.
