Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Nintendo updated Animal Crossing: New Horizons a couple of days ago to version 1.2.1. Although the official patch notes only made mention of bug fixes, there’s more to that beyond the surface.

Based on player reports, Nintendo has patched out some well-known duplication glitches. These include exploits using the table and mailbox. With the mailbox glitch, players could manipulate the auto-save feature, but this is no longer possible.

2K Games Switch

2K has a number of big ports lined up for Switch next week. BioShock: The Collection, Borderlands Legendary Collection, and XCOM 2 Collection are all slated for May 29.

Back in March, 2K announced the ports in a Nintendo Direct Mini. The news was put together in a neat little video with the message that “2K ♡ Switch”. In an interview with Famitsu, 2K chief creative Sami Thessman spoke more about the campaign and Switch support.

Animal Crossing Gyroids

Gyroid items do not exist in Animal Crossing: New Horizons – at least as things stand now. But speculation continues to mount that the feature could be returning at some point in the future.

The latest update comes from the official Animal Crossing: New Horizons guide. In it, there’s a small blurb that contains the following:

If everything is still going according to plan, Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield will have its first major DLC within the next few weeks. Nintendo, The Pokemon Company, and Game Freak previously announced that the debut expansion will arrive by the end of June.

Ahead of the upcoming DLC, Pokemon Home was updated on mobile yesterday. Fans have since datamined the latest files and have found the names of 21 new moves.

The full list is as follows:

Minecraft Dungeons

Several new games out came out this week on the eShop. If you’re interested in checking out what’s new in screenshot form, take a look at the gallery below.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has been updated on Switch to version 1.10. Zangetsu has been added as a playable character, and the new Randomizer mode can be accessed.

Here’s a full rundown of both features:

Splatoon 2 Splatfest - mayo vs. ketchup

A year after the last Splatfest was held in Splatoon 2, the in-game event has returned for a special encore. Nintendo is bringing back one of its past themes: mayo vs. ketchup.

The Splatfest has just now started in all regions. Expect it to last for a total of two days. We’re not actually sure when exactly the results will be announced, but Nintendo should be sharing them soon after the Splatfest concludes. We’ll post the news as soon as the final tally comes in.
