Niantic will be hosting a huge event for Pokemon GO fans this weekend. On Saturday, players from around the world will be showing up at Chicago’s Grant Park for all sorts of festivities during Pokemon GO Fest.

You’ll be able to watch Pokemon GO Fest live on Twitch. The event will run during the following times:

– 8 AM PT – 5 PM PT
– 11 AM ET – 8 PM ET
– 4 PM in the UK – 1 AM in the UK (Sunday)
– 5 PM in Europe – 2 PM in Europe (Sunday)

Nintendo Switch Online was never going to be the most elegant voice chat option available. Without it being built into the console itself, the solution of chatting with others while playing games requires some effort. However, some sites like Eurogamer raise some concerns in particular.

Perhaps the most troublesome aspect here is that you’ll need to have your phone screen on to properly chat online. Without it, voice chat won’t remain connected. And that unfortunately means that it’ll eat up quite a bit of battery power on your phone.

Early footage is in showing SplatNet 2 with Splatoon 2, the app connectivity with Nintendo Switch Online. Have a look at the video below.

The Nintendo Switch Online app debuted a bit earlier than expected when it made a surprise appearance on the App Store and Google Play last night. At the time, however, you couldn’t do much.

The good news is that the Nintendo Switch Online app is now functional. The bad news is that you still can’t do much. Without a copy of Splatoon 2, it doesn’t offer any functionality. You should be able to use it come Friday – or if you receive a copy early.

Pokemon Duel has received a new update. The latest content addition features the Bug Gym Cup, available until July 26.

The latest cup features all Bug-type Movement 1 and 2 figures that receive an increase of 1 for movement. Fire-types get an Attack increase of 20 for each attack.

At the end of the event, players can receive trophies that will be displayed on the ranking screen. Fletchinder and Talonflame Figures are also being handed out as prizes.

The Nintendo Switch Online app looks to be launching slightly early. Nintendo had intended to release it alongside Splatoon 2 on Friday, but it’s already appearing around the world.

For folks on iOS in the United States, it’s up on the App Store here. The Google Play equivalent is here. The Nintendo Switch Online app is also being distributed across the rest of the world.

You can download the app, though servers are currently undergoing maintenance. It should hopefully be fully live soon.
