Nintendo opened an official website today to wish its fans a happy holiday. You can find it right here.

Although there isn’t much to see on the site, the lone video there is noteworthy. We’re able to see a few more seconds of Link snowboarding on his shield in Zelda: Breath of the Wild. If you’d prefer a YouTube version, we have it below.

Back in June, Nintendo filed several new patents pertaining to Switch. The full set of documents were finally published today.

There’s a whole lot of information to sift through here, to say the least. However, these are some of the main points that have been uncovered thus far:

– Images / text pertaining to HMD (head-mounted display) / VR
– Touch panel / touchscreen mentioned
– Gyro support is apparently in
– Shows two full controllers / four half JoyCons being connected at once
– Alternate JoyCon configurations with actual d-pads
– Shoulder buttons on JoyCons (L/R)
– Seems to confirm right JoyCon has an IR sensor (ie pointer)
– Both JoyCons have rumble motors
– NFC is in the right JoyCon
– The grip controller is basically a battery pack
– Seems to show fan in the Dock
– Seems to further suggest USB-C
– Console mode and portable modes mentioned where portable mode has less capability than docked mode
– One portion of the patent essentially talks about a sleep mode

Additional images from the patents can be found here. If any other noteworthy information is found, we’ll add it to this post.

Minecraft: Wii U Edition will soon be adding some new DLC based on Fallout, Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic RPG franchise. Mojang announced the new DLC today and also shared first details about what’s included.

Here’s the lowdown:

“Working in the depths of their bunker complex, our artists and builders have been busy blasting Minecraft’s glorious overworld into an irradiated wasteland fit for Fallout fans to wander. Friendly cows, gently sauteed in the light of a thousand suns, have now sprouted second heads, while the familiar supersized spiders have made way for other overgrown arachnids, who scuttle through the dark wielding brutal stingers.

These are not the only mobs to get a little bit melty. Lurking in the shadow of the series’ familiar landmarks – like the Capitol building or Tenpenny Tower – are ghouls, mutants and madmen of many kinds. Vault Dwellers beware: you may be S.P.E.C.I.A.L., but the wasteland is a very dangerous place indeed.
