Mario Tennis Aces

Nintendo has announced when the Mario Tennis Aces Pre-launch Online Tournament will be taking place. In Japan, it’ll be held between June 1 at 6 PM through June 3 at 11:59 PM. Nintendo hasn’t announced dates for the west, but they should be taking place around the same time.

Here’s a new video for the Mario Tennis Aces Pre-launch Online Tournament as well as a brand new trailer:

After last year’s “Talkatoo glitch” was patched out of Super Mario Odyssey, a new glitch has been discovered to exploit New Donk City’s jump-rope mini-game. This time, the glitch involves clipping the M-A-R-I-O letters out of bounds. You can watch the trick in action below.

The rumor mill has been swirling today with speculation about Star Fox: Grand Prix. Supposedly, Retro Studios is working on this new project for Switch, which is drawing comparisons to Diddy Kong Racing. Among what’s speculated to be included in the game is a story mode and boss battles.

Star Fox: Grand Prix apparently wasn’t the only title Retro had been working on since Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, though it may never see the light of day. Kotaku reports that “Retro had a separate project that went through a rocky development cycle and may in fact be canceled.”

According to listings on Amazon, two new stands are due out for Switch next week. HORI is preparing Compact PlayStands based on Zelda and Mario designs.

The stands are officially licensed for Nintendo, and allow for play in Tabletop Mode while charging. They also have an adjustable angle and fold up for portability.

Both of these stands should be out on May 22 for $12.99 each.

When Activision unveiled Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 in March, Switch was not included among the confirmed platforms. But a new discovery at GameStop is giving hope that the shooter will make its way to the system after all. Today, Twitter user AUGMC snapped a photo showing a Switch case for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 at the retailer.

Activision will be blowing out Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 at an event later this week. If a Switch version is happening, perhaps we’ll hear about it then. Activision could also choose to announce it even further down the road – something that has happened with other Nintendo platforms in the past. Of course, nothing is confirmed, so take this with a grain of salt for now.

Bandai Namco has sent out a few screenshots of the newly-revealed characters in My Hero: One’s Justice. We have a trio of images for Fumikage Tokoyami, Kyoka Jiro, and Eijiro Kirishima below.

Ariana Grande - Nintendo Labo

The Tonight Show will be running its popular Classroom Instruments segment later today, albeit with a major twist. Ariana Grande will be performing “No Tears Left To Cry” entirely with Nintendo Labo.

Speaking about the collaboration with Nintendo, The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon told IGN:

Paladins

On two separate occasions, signs have pointed to a possible Switch version of Paladins. The rumor cycle started at the end of November when updated engine config files referenced Nintendo’s console. Then just last month, an “Oasis” codename was discovered that pointed to a Nintendo account.

Dataminers have gone to work once again. In the latest update, it’s been found that Joy-Con images are included next to the Xbox One and PS4 controllers pictures. They are intended to appear in the options menu, likely to remap controls.

We don’t need to point out how quiet Retro Studios has been since 2014. That was when the company’s last game, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, first appeared on Wii U.

Retro Studios is back in the news with some new speculation that has surfaced over the past couple of days. Alleged leaks claim that they’re working on the new Switch game Star Fox Grand Prix.
