Microsoft’s Phil Spencer leaves the door open to Xbox Game Pass on Switch
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Earlier in the year, rumors persisted that Microsoft would be bringing Xbox Game Pass to Switch. There hasn’t been an official announcement, but that doesn’t mean the possibility doesn’t exist.
Giant Bomb spoke with Xbox boss Phil Spencer last night at E3 2019 and asked the executive about that very topic. Spencer noted that Microsoft is currently focusing on Android for streaming because of its reach, and while bringing the service to Switch wouldn’t be a simple task, they want Game Pass “everywhere.” He also had high praise for the system and Nintendo as a whole.

Game Freak says no decision made about adding Pokemon not in Galar Pokedex to Sword/Shield with updates
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
As we’ve heard throughout the week, Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield won’t feature all Pokemon. That means you won’t be able to transfer every creature that the series has seen.
If you were hoping that the games would be updated to support missing Pokemon in the future, you might be out of luck – at least for now. Game Freak’s Junichi Masuda and Shigeru Ohmori told Famitsu that there is currently no decision to bring the existing Pokemon that can’t be used back into the game using patches, but those that don’t will still have an active role in Pokemon HOME.
