New Switch update out now (version 3.0.1)
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 13 Comments
Update: Version 3.0.1 addresses an issue in which the remaining battery charge isn’t displayed accurately. If the system’s battery power display suddenly increases or decreases, Switch owners are advised to follow these steps. You should see a gradual improvement.
Original: A new firmware update has just been issued for all Switch consoles. Version 3.0.1. is now available for download.
Thus far, Nintendo hasn’t shared any details about the update, but we don’t expect it to be as significant as the last one. That’s usually the case when we see small increase in version numbers.
We’ll update this post when we find out more about today’s update.

Aragami Director’s Cut listed for Switch by French retailer
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 8 Comments
Aragami Director’s Cut is coming to Switch, according to a listing from French retailer fnac. No release date is mentioned unfortunately, nor any word on what could be new in this version of the game.
Aragami originally came out last year. It’s a third-person stealth game in which you play as an undead assassin with the ability to control the shadows. Some of the mechanics include using teleportation to reach any shadow, becoming invisible, materializing weapons, and summoning a shadow dragon to infiltrate the enemy ranks and dispose of your targets.
Continue on below for a more extensive overview of Aragami plus a trailer.
Nintendo releases new Super Mario Odyssey wallpaper, game rumored to have at least seven kingdoms
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Images, News, Switch | 14 Comments
Nintendo prepared its latest Japanese tweet for Super Mario Odyssey. The company published two images, both of which are primarily intended to be used as wallpaper for smartphones.
Here’s where things get interesting. The pink moon shown in the wallpaper is a different color than the yellow moons we’ve seen in the Cascade Kingdom, suggesting that the Cheep Cheep one is separate. So based on that, we’d have at least seven kingdoms in Super Mario Odyssey.
They would be:
– Metro Kingdom
– Sand Kingdom
– Wooded Kingdom
– Luncheon Kingdom
– Cascade Kingdom
– Cap Kingdom
– Cheep Cheep Kingdom
We’re going off of the assumption that the Cascade Kingdom is separate from the areas we’ve seen with the Cheep Cheeps. That’s not absolutely confirmed, but it does make sense based on the moons.

German retailer CoolShop is listing 88 Heroes for Switch – (blurry) boxart included. A similar listing has also popped up on Amazon France with a tentative September 29 release date.
88 Heroes was created by Bitmap Bureau and published by Rising Star Games earlier this year. It’s “a chaotic 2D platformer that is as fun to watch as it is to play, where each level completed or untimely death brings a new uniquely skilled hero into the action.” You’ll have only 88 minutes to complete all 88 levels.
Additional details and a trailer for 88 Heroes are below.
