FuRyu teases new 3DS game with mysterious hot pot teaser site
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments

They’ve opened up a teaser site which, at the moment, only features a video of three people eating a traditional Japanese hot pot dish called oden. What this means is anyone’s guess at the moment – the 3DS logo on the site is pretty much the only thing that marks this as video game-related. We will keep you updated as soon as something happens with that teaser site.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is scheduled to arrive this holiday, despite skepticism that the RPG will make it out in 2017. With the soundtrack wrapping up, a launch this year shouldn’t be out of the picture.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe update out now (version 1.2.1)
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 6 Comments
Nintendo has started distribution of another update for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Players with access to the game can download version 1.2.1.
Today’s update specifically addresses one particular problem. The single patch note from Nintendo states, “Corrected an issue that prolonged the time to return to the lobby after races near the start and end times of online tournaments.”
And that’s it. Nothing too huge, but it’s always good to see issues being addressed.
Thanks to Cameron for the tip.
