Lonely Mountains: Downhill

Thunderful Publishing and Megagon Industries have announced that the next free Daily Rides season for Lonely Mountains: Downhill is dropping today. Daily Rides Season 3, titled Winter Rides, can be accessed alongside version 1.1.6.

Winter Rides allows players to “unlock some cheerfully chilly winter-themed goodies.” New clothing/cosmetic options are up for grabs, including the Winter Outfit, a blue and red ensemble which comes complete with a woolly bobble hat, puffer jacket, warming scarf, and Christmas Elf outfit.

The Christmas theme continues with a Santa beanie and Santa outfit as well. There’s also a fresh accessory in the Christmas Bag of Presents and a new Rudolph Paint Job for your bike, “complete with antlers for a true reindeer look and feel.” Finally, the Snowman festive garment turns your character into an actual snowman with a stylish top hat.

Lonely Mountains: Downhill is currently available for Switch via the eShop.

Swapnote

If you’re ready to be confused, let’s have a brief chat about Swapnote. Out of nowhere, the app has received a new update… and it doesn’t seem to do much.

Swapnote was originally made for the 3DS at the end of 2012. It allowed users to draw up their own messages and have them sent to friends through SpotPass and StreetPass. The SpotPass feature was phased out about a year later, which really limited how useful Swapnote could actually be.

A few years have gone by without much news. Out of nowhere though, Nintendo released a 1.2 update for Swapnote this week, calling it “Remastered”. The patch notes simply state that some problems have been fixed. A few folks have examined the new update and can’t really find anything noteworthy that’s changed or added. There’s some talk that the patch may address an exploit, though that still doesn’t really explain the “Remastered” name here.
