Nintendo outlined some of its plans for Black Friday 2019 today. One deal, which is returning from last year, bundles the Switch console together with a copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for $299.99. Much like last year though, you’ll be getting the old Switch model.

Nintendo clarified that the Switch model consumers will be getting is HAC-001. That’s the system with battery performance ranging from 2.5 to 6.5 hours. A few months ago, a new and improved Switch came to market as model HAC-001(-01) featuring battery life between 4.5 – 9 hours.

This past week, Koei Tecmo were kind enough to invite us to a pre-release event for their upcoming title, “Fairy Tail”. Due to a last-minute bug, the Switch build was unavailable to try out, but we went hands-on with the PS4 build of the game and were able to capture direct-feed gameplay of new features. This includes the battle system, every spell available, a boss battle with Jellal, exploring Magnolia, Lucy’s room, close-ups of the character models and more.

Check out our in-depth impressions post here, and look forward to a second interview with producer Keisuke Kikuchi soon on the website. You can also look forward to this weekend’s episode of Nintendo Everything Podcast (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, PocketCasts, more) for Oni Dino’s first-hand experience at the event.

The latest major Android firmware update, Android 10, brought with it a variety of changes, as well as some compatibility issues with many mobile games. However, it seems like it also had some positive changes in store for gamers: the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller is now officially supported by Android 10. While it was previously possible to use the Pro Controller with Android devices, correct button mappings have now been added to Android 10. The controller can be connected to supported Android devices via Bluetooth. If you play any traditional games on your phone or tablet that require more traditional controls rather than touch-based ones, this might be worth looking into.

This is the proposed sequel to Alwa’s Awakening, and like the first game Alwa’s Legacy is a 2D Metroidvania with lots of RPG elements. This time, they went with a more modern look however as opposed to the 8-bit graphics of the first game. The targeted release date is Spring 2020. The campaign goal is set at SEK 250,000 (about €23,453), which has to be reached by December 5. You can find the Kickstarter here; below is the announcement trailer:
