A new update has just released for the Nintendo Switch Online mobile app, bringing it to version 2.3.0.

This update mostly focuses on SplatNet 3 functionality; specifically, it allows the use of widgets for the app, letting you display the battle logs, stage schedule, current gear loadout and/or album directly onto your home screen.

Here are the full patch notes for the Nintendo Switch Online app version 2.3.0 update:

Capcom Fighting Collection 1.0.2

A notable update has just come to Capcom Fighting Collection. The package is now at version 1.0.2.

New options, features, and more are now available. Some of the main points include more color blind accessibility options for Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, a new Smooth Filter, and viewable hitboxes in Training Mode.

Below are the full patch notes for today’s Capcom Fighting Collection update:

NES icons Switch online

Original (9/5): To kick off the month of September, NES icons have now been added to the Nintendo Switch Online service. They can be redeemed with points on My Nintendo.

Icons are available based on characters – and that’s it. Typically we see backgrounds and frames as well, but there are none of those this time around. At least for wave one, fans can get their hands on icons for Super Mario Bros., Balloon Fight, Tennis, Baseball, Soccer, Volleyball, and Ice Hockey plus consoles and accessories from the era, from both inside and outside Japan. Each one will set you back 10 Platinum Points from My Nintendo.

Slap City

The platform fighter Slap City has received a surprise release on Switch. Ludosity hadn’t announced the title for Nintendo’s console previously, but it’s out now.

Ludosity was one of the developers behind Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl. This one plays a bit similarly, and features a variety of characters such as Ittle Dew and Princess Remedy. The game offers “customizable controls, online crossplay, single-player story modes, and a farcical amount of bonus content”.

Fire Emblem Engage Framme and Cramme

Nintendo and Intelligent Systems have shared details on two more characters for Fire Emblem Engage, this time introducing Framme and Cramme (tentative name). This follows the details provided for Alear and Vander.

Xenoblade 3 difficulty differences

Nintendo Everything has created a new difficulty guide for Xenoblade Chronicles 3, which covers the differences between the options and more.

The game can be quite difficult to get into; the experience can be overwhelming, with the battle system being a particularly hectic element that new players have to contend with. However, Monolith Soft has implemented several different difficulty options in the game to combat this, whether you just want to cruise through the story or you want to challenge yourself to some more grueling fights – though sadly, the game doesn’t really detail what the differences between these Easy/Normal/Hard difficulties are beyond a basic “makes the game easier/more balanced/harder” text box. Hopefully this guide can clear that up for you, providing some actual numbers as well as some advice for picking between these three difficulty modes.

Camped Out gameplay

Following the release of Camped Out on Switch, new gameplay has emerged. We have 13 minutes of footage from the frenetic couch co-op tame.
