A new update is going out for Pokemon GO. Players should soon see version 1.43.1 on iOS, or version 0.73.1 on Android.

  • Added the ability to view the number of Trainers entered, and preparing, for a Raid Battle before using a Raid Pass.
  • Improved Pokémon Collection screen search functionality by allowing Trainers to search through their Pokémon’s moves using the @ character.

Yesterday, Raw Fury announced Uurnog Uurnlimited. It’s a new game created by Nifflas, who worked on games like Affordable Space Adventures and Knytt Underground.

One interesting thing about Uurnog Uurnlimited concerns custom levels. After launch, a level editor for the Steam version will be offered, which hooks into the Steam Workshop. This will let players share and download stages.

Interestingly, levels created here will be available on Switch. Raw Fury was originally thinking about offering a curated selection of custom levels as post-launch DLC on the system, but Nintendo suggested hooking the Workshop in directly instead. Levels are probably going to be filtered in some way. Raw Fury and Nintendo hope that the moves offers a more streamlined way of downloading new maps.

The Bridge is leaping from Wii U to Switch at the start of September. Take a look at some footage in the video below.

Nintendo is pulling the plug on the original SplatNet service for Splatoon. It will be permanently closed on September 30. “We sincerely thank all players for using this companion site for the original Splatoon game,” Nintendo said today.

Thankfully, online multiplayer will continue for Splatoon on Wii U. For those who haven’t transitioned to Splatoon 2, that’s good news.

Fire Emblem Heroes has been around for about half a year, and the game is starting up its Choose Your Legends bonus banner tomorrow. With that in mind, Polygon spoke with Intelligent Systems director Kouhei Maeda and Nintendo director Shingo Matsushita about the mobile game. Topics include some of the risque art created for Fire Emblem Heroes, overpowered teams, caution over power creep, and player frustration with colorless units.

Read Maeda and Matsushita comments about these points below. You can find the full interview on Polygon here.

Yesterday, Rain Games announced that World to the West is coming to Switch. The Wii U version hasn’t been abandoned, however.

Rain Games shared the following regarding World to the West on Wii U:

“While porting to Switch has been a very smooth and pleasant process so far, Wii U is harder to optimize for, mostly due to the way the hardware is setup, and how the Wii U version is baed on an older version of the engine to ensure full system compatibility.

But we knew this going in, so we made sure that the game could stand up on its own without changing the main gameplay experience. We’re dedicated to making it play well on every platform! As far as an ETA is concerned, we’re hoping to get it out as soon as we can, but we don’t have a way to lock down a date yet, so I can’t get more specific than that.”

Another new Switch game from Team17 has been revealed for Switch outside of today’s Nindies Showcase. Included in Nintendo’s assets are screenshots for Worms W.M.D, which was originally released last year.

Unfortunately, aside from those screenshots, nothing else was included. We don’t have a fact sheet for this one or anything else.

In any case, here’s a general overview from Steam:
