Zelda: Breath of the Wild Switch item distribution (11/1/17)
Posted on 7 years ago by Joshua in News, Switch | 1 Comment
Nintendo is still going strong with their weekly Breath of the Wild item distribution. In order to get the free items, of course, you need to be subscribed to the official news channel. If you’re subscribed, you should start getting friendly messages from Fujibayashi, the director of the game.
This week, Mr. Fujibayashi’s gift includes all the ingredients to make a mighty salt-grilled crab. These are as follows: Razorclaw Crab, Mighty Porgy, Mighty Bananas, and Rock Salt. Just start the game from the notification launch button in order to get all this.
The director leaves us with a set of instructions: “Cook these ingredients together for the powerful dish.”

“KORG Gadget for Nintendo Switch” microsite now up
Posted on 7 years ago by Joshua in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
A few days ago, we learned that the music creation tool KORG Gadget is coming to the Switch in 2018. While KORG Gadget has found a niche on the DS and 3DS family as well as some Apple platforms, not much is known about the Switch release.
Maybe this will clear things up. A mini website has been released today specifically for Switch news updates. You can access that website here.
It is implied that the website will be updated as more news rolls out, but for now it’s pretty bare-bones. Either way, it is good to know that all Switch updates for this software will be collected in one place.

Splatoon 2 update out now (version 1.4.2)
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Update: Here are the official patch notes:
In Splatfest Battle (team) , when the player with the highest Splatfest Power on a team has a power exceeding 2200, all players on the team will be treated as having that higher Splatfest Power value for matchmaking purposes.
Original: Another new update has gone live for Splatoon 2. Nintendo has just released version 1.4.2.
We don’t anticipate this being a big update due to the small change in versions. The next notable update should be sometime in November. When we have the patch notes for today’s patch, we’ll add them here.
