A new Japanese commercial for Animal Crossing: New Horizons has gone live as we ring in 2021. Check out the advert below.

Nicole Jones purchased a used Switch from seller Jaime Macdonald through Facebook Marketplace on March 18. All was well with the system, but after her kids tried going online, major problems developed. It was simply impossible to connect online in any capacity, and Jones learned that the device had been permanently banned by Nintendo.

Nintendo customer support indicated that systems can be blocked due to unapproved activity such as piracy and hacking. The ban on Jones’ units went into effect on March 26, which was several days after the used purchase. However, Nintendo said that it can take weeks to detect and investigate unauthorized activity prior to a ban.


2021 is looking like a big year for Monster Hunter. Along with Monster Hunter Rise, Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin are heading to Switch.

Monster Hunter developers Ryozo Tsujimoto and Yasunori Ichinose recently shared a brief video message on social media. It’s now confirmed that more information about Monster Hunter Rise will be shared in January, which makes sense given that a demo will be released during the month and the game isn’t terribly far away.

Here’s the full message:

The Pokemon Company has teamed up with the International Space Station for a live stream on New Year’s Eve. To celebrate the event, Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield players can now obtain a special Pikachu.

The Pikachu has the moves Thunderbolt, Swift, Wish, and Celebrate. It’s also holding a Comet Shard.
