Switch

NBA 2K19 is coming to Switch, new retail marketing material has revealed. It seems that we’re on track for a September launch, just like last year. Those who purchase the game’s 20th Anniversary Edition will be able to play four days early.

The NBA 2K franchise returned to Nintendo platforms after being on hiatus for several years. Once 2K Sports published NBA 2K13 on Wii U back in 2012, that was it until last year’s comeback on Switch.

PowerA is creating some new GameCube-styled controllers for Switch. Over on Reddit, user Mew_The_Creator says that he’s seen some new designs that have been delivered to the facility where he works. He adds that “Nintendo sent them to our facility to produce product layout for stores so the actual controllers aren’t in there, but the product is confirmed.”

PowerA is also producing some new controllers with Mario designs – see below.

No word yet on when these controllers will be launching, but stay tuned.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Nintendo Switch Online

Interested in getting a very early head start on paying for Nintendo Switch Online? If so, perhaps you’d like to see what’s taking place over on Amazon UK and Amazon Germany.

The retailer is currently taking pre-orders for Nintendo Switch Online subscriptions. 3-month and 12-month options can be purchased as of now. A release date of September 30 is shown, though we’re certain that’s nothing more than a placeholder.

Nintendo Switch Online won’t be fully launching until September. There will be 1-month, 3-month, and 12-month plans priced at $3.99, $7.99, and $19.99 respectively.

Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn

Last year, Saber Interactive announced a special offer involving NBA Playgrounds. Those who purchased the game by the time its online patch dropped would be entitled to a free digital copy of Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn.

This will be going live starting tomorrow. On the eShop, Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn will show a 100% discount to eligible Switch owners, making it entirely free. Again, it only applies to players who bought NBA Playgrounds before the online update.
