A few days ago, we found out that Hollow Knight will have a physical version after all despite being cancelled previously. Fangamer will even be releasing a special collector’s edition.
For those in Europe, you’ll be happy to hear that the standard edition of Hollow Knight will also be offered there. Amazon Spain is already taking pre-orders here.

If you’re aren’t familiar with StarTropics, you might find it difficult to complete the new Nintendo Switch Online release.
When the game originally launched on the NES, the game’s instruction manual included a physical letter to Mike from Dr. Jones printed on parchment. When players dipped the letter into water, it would provide further instructions for Mike. A code here allows players to progress through the fourth chapter.

Nintendo Labo VR Kit intended for users aged 7 and over, safety overview
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo announced the next Nintendo Labo product last week, and it’s a kit dedicated entirely to VR. The company updated its Japanese support website with some additional information about safety.
One of the big takeaways is the intended audience. Any user not aged 7 and over should not be using the Nintendo Labo VR Kit, Nintendo says. That guideline was determined “by researchers in the ophthalmology and vision fields studying the effects of 3D images on the development of children’s eyes.”
