miHoYo has published the opening cutscene for Genshin Impact, its open-world action game. Have a look at the video below.

Genshin Impact launches on Switch in 2020.

Pokemon Sword/Shield

Update: Though it wasn’t mentioned in Nintendo’s patch notes, the update also addresses issues relating to hacked Pokemon. Read more about the situation here.


Following the previous update for Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield in January, both games have been updated again. The latest patch is version 1.1.1.

If you were looking for something major this time around, you’ll unfortunately be disappointed. Nintendo says of today’s update: “Fixed several issues to improve gameplay experience.”

Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield are getting their first DLC, The Isle of Armor, in June as part of the Expansion Pass. The Crown of Tundra will follow this fall.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX has been updated on Switch. Version 1.0.2 is out now, which addresses a game-breaking bug.

Today’s patch addresses one single issue, but it’s a major one. When playing through a dungeon, if the main character and partner Pokemon were defeated and the third Pokemon in the party was removed, the game may have become unplayable from that point on. After installing the update, you can continue from the point where you escaped the dungeon, with your items and money intact.

Nintendo has announced the latest tournament for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The theme this time around is reflect, meaning only fighters with that ability can participate. Expect projectile items to appear as well.

The new tournament goes live on March 20. It will last for a total of three days.

First up, Froggy Chair is currently missing in action. This object simply doesn’t exist in the game’s files at present. Will it be added later? Perhaps, but at least for now, it doesn’t seem to be included.

We have some other details as well. It looks like Animal Crossing: New Horizons used the codename Park, runs on Nintendo’s Lunchpack 2 engine while also using the Havok engine for physics.
