Switch controller update 15.0.0

Switch received its new 15.0.0 firmware update last night, and tying in with that, there’s a controller-specific update as well. Seemingly this is just for the Pro Controller – there does not appear to be anything new with the Joy-Con.

When Nintendo provides a controller update, it typically doesn’t say what it includes. However, those that have dug into version 15.0.0 have found that the Pro Controller Bluetooth firmware was updated.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Nopon Archsage

Nintendo and Monolith Soft have introduced the Nopon Archsage, who will be featured in Wave 2 of the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Expansion Pass and ties into Challenge Battles.

Challenge Battles are accessible by walking up to a portal located in Llyn Nyddwr. This can be found in the Fornis Region, specifically Ribbi Flats. After entering the portal, you’ll end up in the Land of Challenges. The Nopon Archsage is here and there’s more to him than meets the eye. He’s voiced by Akio Ootsuka in the Japanese version – that’s actually the same person who voiced Consul Z.

Pompom release date

A final release date has come in for the Switch version of Pompom. The 2D platformer is slated for October 25, publisher PID Games and developer Tomo Camp announced today.

Those interested in seeing what the game has to offer can try out a free demo on the eShop.

A new update for SD Gundam Battle Alliance will be rolling out this week, Bandai Namco have announced. The timing of the update varies by region – it should be available today in North America, and tomorrow in Europe and Japan – and it will provide numerous pieces of additional content and bug fixes.

Switch update 15.0.0
