New Pokemon Snap

With some Switch releases from Nintendo, updates are made available prior to or at launch. New Pokemon Snap is the latest example of this.

Ahead of this week’s debut, New Pokemon Snap has already received version 1.1.0. It’s not a major patch as it merely makes adjustments and corrections to improve the gameplay experience. However, keep in mind that it’s required for online play.

New Pokemon Snap launches for Switch on April 30.

Earth Defense Force 2: Invaders from Planet Space will be arriving for Switch on July 15 in Japan for 3,980 yen, and Earth Defense Force 2017 will follow this fall, D3 Publisher and developer Sandlot have announced via Weekly Famitsu. Both titles will have similar specs to the PS Vita versions, and would have been followed by a port of SIMPLE 2000 Series Vol. 31: THE Earth Defense Force, but difficulties arose during development and the project was abandoned. A Western release has not been announced for the games at this time.
