Saber Interactive is putting the final touches on a new update for NBA Playgrounds. Players will have access to new modes, content, and features soon.
First up, NBA Playgrounds is getting a 3-Point Contest mode. The game’s rebounding system has been reworked, and friend invites are planned. Finally, 33 new players are being added.
Below is a trailer for the upcoming update:
The update will be live on Switch soon. Hopefully it won’t take nearly as long as the previous patch.
Rayman Legends Definitive Edition demo removed from the European Switch eShop
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 14 Comments
Yesterday, a demo for Rayman Legends Definitive Edition was found on the European Switch eShop. It’s quite meaty, offering a few levels and some Kung Foot action.
A few hours later, the Rayman Legends Definitive Edition demo is missing in action. It has simply been removed without any explanation. It was located on the game’s new page, located in the “Coming Soon” section of the eShop, but the demo option is no longer available.
If we had to guess, the demo will return at some point later. It may have just gone up too early. There have also been some questions about performance in docked mode, so Ubisoft could be looking to clear those issues up before going live officially.

The Sexy Brutale rated for Switch
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 6 Comments
The Sexy Brutale may have a chance of coming to Switch. On July 14, PEGI rated the game for the console.
Classifications don’t always confirm releases, but usually they’re intended to be used in some way. It would be rather strange for The Sexy Brutale to be rated on Switch if Tequila Works doesn’t intend to bring it to the platform, though perhaps it’s a possibility the studio is exploring for the future.

We reached out to Tequila Works earlier this week and asked about the classification, but have thus far not heard back. We’ll let you know if we receive an official comment from the company.
