Nintendo UK just published the image seen above on their Twitter account – it shows off all of the various features of the Joy-Con controllers that are not immediately apparently by looking at them, like the HD rumble, the NFC sensor, the IR motion camera and so on. Nothing new, but it’s nonetheless a nice overview and a reminder that there really is a lot of tech packed into these little controllers.

Swap Fire, a Wii U eShop title that debuted late last year, is getting an update. Midnight Status has shared some information about what to expect from version 1.1

First, players will have easier staged access to Exhibition Mode. The developer is also implementing audio cues in multiplayer to compliment opening animations. You can count on the normal bug fixes as well along with more precise dual analogue controls.

There’s no date just yet for the patch. Swap Fire is also heading to Europe, but no word yet on when it’ll be launching.

Pokken Tournament was one of several titles nominated for the final spot at Evo 2017. Had it won, it would have been featured alongside the likes of Smash Bros. Melee and Smash Bros. for Wii U at the tournament. Unfortunately, Pokken Tournament just missed out to Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 in the end.

It’s definitely not all bad though. With the vote tying into charities, Pokken Tournament raised nearly $67,000 (Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 generated the most with over $71,000). Evo is also pledging $10,000 to support Pokken Tournament with individual tournaments throughout the year.
