Capcom Highlights digital event

A new Capcom Highlights digital event will be airing soon, Capcom just announced.

The presentation will be split into two days. If you’re only a Switch owner, you’ll be most interested in the second day as that’ll feature Monster Hunter Stories along with Street Fighter 6, Exoprimal, and Monster Hunter Now. The first day will focus on Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess and Dragon’s Dogma 2.

Super Mario World icons Switch Online

Super Mario World and Animal Crossing: New Horizons are now the latest featured games on Nintendo Switch Online for user icons, but there’s a little bit of a different spin this time around.

In the past members have been able to simply boot up the app and spend My Nintendo points to claim icons. However, as an added wrinkle, you’ll need to actually play the games.

Crema isn’t done with Temtem as of yet, but is starting to move towards ending major development. Version 1.8 will be the last major update for the game.

Version 1.7 will come first with a new Season, a new Tamer Pass, balance changes, new features, bug fixing, and quality of life updates. When version 1.8 drops down the road, that’ll largely be it for the game, and it won’t have a Tamer Pass or Season. Additionally, there won’t be any more seasons. Future patches will involve polishing, bug fixing, and balancing Temtem “for as long as it needs it.”

Secret Neighbor Winter update

Secret Neighbor just released its latest update on Switch dubbed “Winter”.

As far as new content goes, players can access new skins. It also includes QOL improvements, rebalancing, reworked systems, new quests, brawl rotation, and more.

Nintendo lawsuit Yuzu settlement

Following Nintendo’s lawsuit against Yuzu, the two sides have come to a quick agreement. Yuzu will now be paying $2.4 million in damages as part of the agreement, which both parties agreed upon.

It was reported that week that Nintendo was suing the creators of the Switch emulator due to DMCA and copyright violations. Allegedly, Yuzu makers accessed Switch games from a hacked console and made at least one copy of each. According to Nintendo, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was downloaded over one million times before the official launch.

Publisher Firenut Games, along with developer José Manuel Conesa Hernández, today announced Chrysolite. The title is due out on Switch this summer.

Paper Mario Thousand Year Door Luigi's Mansion 2 HD MAR10 Day

If you’ve been waiting to find out when Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door and Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD will be releasing on Switch, the good news is that it may not be much longer. X user Pyoro, who has a habit of leaking Nintendo announcements such as content from Nintendo Directs, now indicates that news about both titles will be shared on MAR10 Day. Presumably that will include updated launch timing.

MAR10 Day, of course, is March 10. That’s Nintendo’s way of recognizing the Super Mario franchise. Most MAR10 Days come and go without much news, with the company focusing on things like bundles and sales. However, we did get the release date for the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 4 last year, so release dates aren’t out of the question.

CarX Highway Racing

CarX Technologies has announced CarX Highway Racing as its latest Switch release. It will be available on March 14, 2024.

We’re told that CarX Highway Racing “is a game that blends the unique CarX physics with an engaging storyline and a wide range of gameplay modes.” After surpassing 100 million downloads on mobile, it’ll now be available on Nintendo’s console. 

Nintendo released a new video today showcasing a few European digital game highlights from February 2024. Some of the highlighted titles include Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Penny’s Big Breakaway, and Pocket Card Jockey: Ride On.
