Monstrum

A couple of upcoming Switch games from SOEDESCO have been impacted by the coronavirus. Monstrum, along with Adam’s Venture: Origins, will see a delay with their physical versions. Fortunately, digital releases for both titles will take place as scheduled.

Hans van Brakel, executive manager at SOEDESCO, said in a statement today:

If you haven’t enabled 2-step verification on your Nintendo Account, you may want to consider doing so. Recently, a notable amount of Switch owners have claimed that their accounts have been accessed without consent.

The news started to circular after Twitter user Pixelpar said that his account was accessed multiple times from various locations. A quick look at social media indicates that it’s not an isolated incident, as many users have been affected in a similar way. At least a portion of Nintendo Account owners who also set up a PayPal link says funds had been accessed to purchase Fortnite’s VBuck currency.


Nomada Studios, the developers behind the award winning puzzle-platformer Gris, have announced that the title has sold over one million copies.

Gris first launched on Switch in December 2018 to critical acclaim, going on to win many awards for its visuals and game design, including the ‘Games for Impact’ award in The Game Awards in 2019.

Nomada shared the news in a tweet that you can see below.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2

It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. This week, Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 moves up another spot to #2 while Bayonetta 3 and Shin Megami Tensei V are in the top five. Also, Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition is in the top ten for the first time.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between April 2 and April 8.

Dragon Marked for Death

Dragon Marked for Death version 3.0.0 will not launch this coming week as originally expected. Inti Creates is delaying its release, the company announced. Inti Creates has been impacted by having to work out of the office due to the coronavirus.

Dragon Marked for Death version 3.0.0 features the Oracle and the Bandit as new playable characters. Other new features are coming as well such as brand new weapon categories, powering up weapons as a whole, increased level caps, and more.

A new update is now live for Nintendo Switch Parental Controls – at least on iOS. The app is now at version 1.12.0.

According to Nintendo, today’s update includes support for iOS 13. Other than that, bug fixes have been implemented.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Animal Crossing: New Horizons datamining has already led to the finding of what appears to be the steps for upgrading Nook’s Cranny. Ninji, who made that original discovery, today shared another batch of interesting information pertaining to the Switch title.

Ninji has been poking through the files and code for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which may hint at some upcoming features. We’ve rounded up the various tidbits below. Of course, if you’re not interested in potentially being spoiled in any way, keep that in mind before proceeding.

Unravel Two is currently available on Switch via the eShop. The same can’t be said of the series’ first entry, but perhaps that could be changing soon.

Over in Brazil, Unravel 1 was recently rated for Switch. The classification was just added to the official database on April 17. The only slightly confusing part of the rating is that PS4, Xbox One, and PC are also included from this same day despite being available on all three platforms since 2016.

Here’s an overview of Unravel, along with a trailer:
