Animal Crossing: New Horizons update available (version 1.1.4), brings adjusted egg appearance rates
Posted on 4 years ago by Bryce(@brodee922) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Animal Crossing: New Horizons has just dropped a new update, version 1.1.4. This update brings a few bug fixes (available in the source below) but more importantly, it tweaks the egg appearance rates in the Easter event currently happening in-game.
The patch specifically mentions making it easier to find eggs on the day of Easter, April 12. This may not be what most players want to hear, but the patch notes also say that egg appearance rates have been tweaked leading up to Easter day (through April 11). Hopefully these tweaks are more of what players want to see.
The patch also briefly notes that the version may be 1.1.4 or 1.1.4a depending on region.

Cooking Mama: Cookstar accused of mining cryptocurrency with Switch consoles, devs respond and deny allegations
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
What is going on with Cooking Mama: Cookstar? That’s the million dollar question no one seems to be able to answer at the moment.
The reveal cycle for Cooking Mama: Cookstar certainly wasn’t normal. Technically, the game leaked last August through an official game rating. Not too long after that, some information about the project emerged online, including a tidbit that the game was intended to be “the first game to integrate blockchain technology on major consoles.” People have been taking that detail to heart, and now believe that the new Cooking Mama has been discreetly mining cryptocurrency with users’ Switch consoles. It’s certainly caused a stir on social media at the very least.
For what it’s worth, the developers have responded to the situation and are saying otherwise. Here’s the official statement:

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – Sans Mii Fighter costume originally had tiny fingers
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai and Undertale creator Toby Fox have revealed the original design for Sans in the Switch title. While not massively different from the final model, Sans originally had tiny fingers. According to Fox, he “asked them to replace them with a larger mitten-like hand instead.” You can see what the initial design looked like above.
Sans is one of the more recent Mii Fighter costumes we’ve seen in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate that represents an indie game. Cuphead is another example of this type of collaboration.
