Mages today released a fifth trailer for Anonymous;Code, its science-fiction visual novel. It offers up another look at the upcoming Switch title.

Anonymous;Code, which saw its original announcement for Nintendo’s console in 2017, was last planned for Fall 2021, but that ultimately didn’t happen. Mages has instead been using the extra time to improve the game’s quality.

Triangle Strategy has sold nearly 800,000 copies, Square Enix has announced. That feat was accomplished in just two weeks.

Square Enix says that Triangle Strategy has sold over 200,000 copies in Japan and Asia combined. That plus other units worldwide bring the game to almost 800,000. The figure is ultimately based on copies shipped and download sales.

The next tour has been revealed in Mario Kart Tour. This is the Samurai Tour and it is coming on March 22, 2022 at 10pm PT. Included in this are cosmetics such as Mario in a Samurai outfit, Daisy and Peach in kimonos, and an armored kart with a Samurai theme. There is also an exclusive course that seems to be at a temple with cherry blossoms. 

As mentioned, The Samurai Tour will go live on March 22.

Nintendo has released an update for Pokemon Legends: Arceus (version 1.1.1) that addresses an issue that players were experiencing. This issue has to do with the Shiny Charm – it seems certain players couldn’t obtain it even after fulfilling the requirements. 

This appears to be the only change to the game in this update, and the official patch notes can be read below.

Ver. 1.1.1 (Released March 17, 2022)
Update Details
Fixed an issue where certain conditions would prevent players from obtaining the Shiny Charm even if they met the requirements. After updating the game, players who experienced this issue can obtain the Shiny Charm by speaking with Professor Laventon inside Galaxy Hall in Jubilife Village provided they meet the requirements.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass DLC

Following a new datamine, fans seem to have discovered some of the future tracks planned for the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass DLC.

Nintendo released the big 2.0.0 update for its Switch racer earlier today. After pouring through all of the files, one noteworthy image in particular was discovered. It’s an updated version of the DLC banner we’ve seen a number of times before, but now with environments of several tracks that hadn’t been announced previously.

According to the official website and retailer listings, Hogwarts Legacy is coming to Switch.

That information is relayed directly in an FAQ page. Regarding platforms, it states: “Hogwarts Legacy will be available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One consoles, Nintendo Switch and PC.” We’ll also mention that a Switch logo is included on the footer of the site across various pages. Amazon has also opened pre-orders for a physical version on Switch here.
