May 1: Sunblink has announced that Hello Kitty Island Adventure will be getting its first major content update. The update is titled “Friends, Furniture, and Frozen Peaks” and is due out on May 22, 2025.

This new update will add an expansion to snowy areas, new cosmetics, new mechanics for furniture, the ability to call friends, and more as the title of the update fittingly suggests.

Here’s the full rundown of what this update will be bringing:

Infogrames has just announced that Totally Reliable Delivery Service will be receiving a major free update, more paid DLC, and a physical release titled Totally Reliable Delivery Service: Definitive Edition. The physical version will include every DLC, and is set to release on September 12th, 2025 with pre-orders already up.

The major free update will unify the game’s features and content across every platform, catching everyone up to speed. The player count will be increased from four to five and cross-platform support with universal leaderboards will be added as well.

The latest Famitsu review scores for the week of May 14, 2025 are as follows:

PlateUp Nintendo Switch Online Game Trial

Nintendo has announced that over in Europe, PlateUp will be made available as the latest Game Trial on Switch Online. This will kick off tomorrow, May 15, lasting until May 21.

Those with an active Nintendo Switch Online membership will be able to play the entire game for free. Additionally, save data works with the full version when purchased. Fans should also be on the lookout for a discount on the Nintendo eShop.

April 23: Nintendo has recently released its 1.6.0 update for F-Zero 99, but it seems the company has added another bonus in tandem with the patch. User icons based on the game are now redeemable for Nintendo Switch Online members.

It is not required to play F-Zero 99 in order to claim these rewards. 12 character icons are up for grabs, as well as 12 backgrounds. Each character icon is redeemable with 10 Platinum Points on My Nintendo, and each background for 5.

The new Nintendo San Francisco store is opening soon, and we’re now hearing about a pretty neat customization opportunity for the Nintendo Switch OLED.

Consumers will be able to pick out their own color scheme for the console. Colors for the Joy-Con, dock, and wrist straps can all be fully decided upon. The dock is limited to the typical white and black options, but the Joy-Con and straps will have various options available. Worth noting, it won’t cost anything extra for a custom order – it’ll be priced at $350. Also, those who place an order can receive it that same day.

IGN got an early look at the whole process and showed it off in a new video. You can check that out below.


Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 3.0.4 update

Surprise: a new Mario Kart 8 Deluxe update just dropped with version 3.0.4.

Nintendo is looking to address a couple of issues with today’s patch. The first one involves the 3DS Music Park track in Time Trials and repeatedly opening and closing the pause menu. N64 Rainbow Road also received a fix. 

The full rundown of the update is as follows:

Hogwarts Legacy Switch vs Switch 2

Warner Bros. and Avalanche Software have shared an official comparison trailer for Hogwarts Legacy on Nintendo Switch 1 and Switch 2.

The video shows graphical updates and smoother performance on the new console. Also shown is how unlike the Nintendo Switch 1 version, there aren’t any segmented areas on Switch 2 (meaning there’s a proper open-world).

This week’s expanded Japanese software sales are as follows:
