PowerA has two new specially-designed controllers lined up for Switch. Next month, the new hardware with Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Mario designs will be released.

Both controllers have been officially licensed by Nintendo. They feature six interchangeable analog caps for custom control, soft-touch rubber grips for added comfort, and a 10-foot removable USB cable.

The two controllers should be out on October 23. Amazon has the Zelda one up for pre-order here, and the Mario edition here.

Earlier this year, Bigben and Breakpoint announced Tennis World Tour. Platforms were mostly a mystery at the time, but Bigben has now confirmed that the game is coming to Switch.

Tennis World Tour is intended to be a spiritual successor of sorts to the Top Spin franchise. Pierre André, who was a producer on Top Spin 4, is working on the project.

Details are mostly unknown at the moment. We do know that 30 playable tennis stars will be included, such as Roger Federer, Gaël Monfils, Angelique Kerber, Garbiñe Muguruza, Carolin Wozniacki, Nick Kyrgios, Alexander Zverev, and John Isner.

Tennis World Tour is heading to Switch in 2018.

The new Salmon Run mode in Splatoon 2 can be played locally at any time with friends. Online, however, is another story. Nintendo has set times in place throughout the week when the mode is available.

As part of a chat with Rolling Stone, designer Jordan Amaro (a rare western developer working at Nintendo in Japan) commented on why Salmon Run isn’t always playable online. Here’s what he had to say about the subject:

I’m not allowed to speak on it, because I’m not the game director. What I can say, and what I think can be said, is that there are lots of reasons. You have to trust us that if you could play Salmon Run online anytime, that would result in a worse experience for you and everybody.
