Rumor: Nikkei claims smaller Switch is coming, Nintendo planning new service for this year
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 0 comments
Update: After having three separate translators look at Nikkei’s article, we believe what we have shared in this post is accurate. To clarify, the publication claims that Nintendo will be strengthening its monthly paid service, Nintendo Switch Online, which launched last September. It does not elaborate by saying whether this is an update/upgrade to Nintendo Switch Online, something separate, etc. Whether Nikkei is wrong or misreporting this or not remains to be seen.
Original: In a new report today, Japanese publication Nikkei claims to have information regarding Nintendo’s future plans for Switch. According to the outlet, a smaller version of the Switch is in the works and may release as early as this year.
Nikkei also claims that Nintendo is readying some sort of new service for this year aimed at game enthusiasts. However, further details were not provided.

Otome visual novel collection Taishou x Alice: All in One coming to Switch in Japan in April
Posted on 5 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 0 comments
The Switch has been getting quite a few otome visual novel games, especially in Japan, and that doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon. Publisher Prototype announced today that Taishou x Alice: All in One will be released on Nintendo Switch in Japan on April 18. This is a collection of all four Taishou x Alice games: Taishou x Alice Episode 1, Episode 2, Episode 3 and Epilogue. The Switch version comes with additional images as well as an in-game version of a drama CD that was bundled with a previous release of the game.
So far, only a Japanese release has been confirmed. Only Episode 1 has previously received an English translation, so it seems unlikely that this full collection will be released in the West.
