Switch

We have the latest Nintendo maintenance schedule, this time for the week of May 5, 2024.

Six different sessions are currently on the docket. Switch will be impacted in various ways over the next few weeks.

Here’s the full Nintendo maintenance schedule for the week of May 5, 2024:

Another Daily Demon video for Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance has been released by Atlus. This time, we’re given a preview of Hell Biker.

Mythical Pokemon

One of the most common criticisms of modern Pokemon is its handling of Mythical Pokemon. Though the recent Mochi Mayhem DLC in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is a welcome exception, several important Mythical Pokemon have drawn attention for their distinct lack of backstory. Otherwise well-designed creatures like Diancie, Volcanion, Zeraora, and Zarude are somewhat notorious for doing absolutely nothing in the games they were introduced in. Today, we’re going over all the interesting Mythical Pokemon events the games have had to offer and coming up with new ones for the Mythical Pokemon that didn’t receive one.

Azure Striker Gunvolt and Blaster Master Zero developer Inti Creates is readying Umbraclaw as its next Switch game, and if you’re interested in picking up a boxed copy, you might be interested to know that the company will offer a physical release in Japan.

A standard version will be sold along with a limited edition. The latter includes a copy of the game, an art book, soundtrack CD, and an acrylic keychain.

Retro Game Challenge Switch

The Switch title Retro Game Challenge 1 + 2 Replay will not be getting an English release in the west – at least for the time being. That news comes directly from the game’s developers.

In a recent Famitsu interview, Bandai Namco’s Midori Sugiyama and indieszero’s Masanobu Suzui spoke about the situation. Suzui in particular elaborated on why it isn’t possible, with him indicating that there wouldn’t be enough interest and various aspects would need to be altered.

Here’s what the two shared:

Splatoon 3 guides

Today, we’re rounding up our full collection of Splatoon guides all in one place. We’ve categorized them into two sections; guides for the base game and guides for Side Order.

Splatoon 3 is still going strong – presumably until September, when its new content schedule may come to a close – but it’s still worth playing even beyond that date! Splatoon is easy to learn, but difficult to master, and there are plenty of modes to master. We’ve got guides on the ranked modes, Splatfests, Salmon Run, Big Run, and even their respective King Salmonid bosses. If you’re looking for some Splatoon tips and tricks, you’ve come to the right place.
