Nintendo Switch Parental Controls

The Nintendo Switch Parental Controls app has been given a minimal update. Version 1.11.0 is live on both iOS and Android.

According to Nintendo, today’s patch simply includes the latest bug fixes. There doesn’t appear to be much in the way of any notable additions or changes.

The 1.5-year anniversary countdown bonus started Mar. 17, 11 PM PT. The event will run until March 27th — during the duration, players can claim a free summon voucher as a login bonus, with a maximum of seven vouchers able to be claimed. Make sure to claim the login gifts, as login bonuses are only able to be accepted for a limited time.

You’ll be able to partake in Summoning Focus: Weekly Revival 1 until March 22.

Nintendo eShop

Nintendo’s maintenance schedule has received its regular update. There’s not too much coming up over the next few days, though there’s some notable eShop downtime the following week.

Here’s the current schedule:

In addition to being a cloud-based storage solution for Pokemon, Pokemon Home also offers users various challenges and rewards when you complete them – most notably the Original Color Magearna, which could not be legally obtained any other way previously. To get it, you needed a complete “living” Pokedex, i.e. one copy of every Pokemon in Pokemon Home. However, many users who had completed that challenge didn’t receive Magearna. A maintenance has recently been completed which fixed these issues. Additionally, according to Serebii, the condition to get Original Color Magearna is now much easier to achieve – it seems like you only need a complete National Pokedex registered in Pokemon Home, but not a living one. For example, you only need to evolve Bulbasaur to Ivysaur and then to Venusaur, but you don’t need individual copies of Bulbasaur, Ivysaur and Venusaur anymore. However, keep in mind that this hasn’t been officially confirmed yet.
