Capcom uploaded a new trailer for Monster Hunter XX on Switch earlier this week. Alongside that video, new details were shared as well.
New to the Switch version of Monster Hunter XX is rumble. However, HD Rumble isn’t actually supported – it’s just standard rumble. The feature is enabled when a monster roars, when you strike a monster with a Hunting Art, and when Barufaruku’s special move known as Comet connects. Rumble can be enabled / disabled at any time.

Cordelia and Female Robin have just been revealed to be coming to Fire Emblem Warriors, but the official Twitter account for the game is already teasing what’s next: sometime this month, a male archer and a female rider will be revealed.
The male archer is likely to be either Virion or Takumi, but the female rider is a lot harder to predict. Camilla, Hinoka or Caeda all seem like likely targets, though it could also be Elise, Est or a number of other characters.. What are your predictions?

ARMS update planned for next week
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 4 Comments
The next update for ARMS will make its way out to players next week, Nintendo has announced.
Specifics about the patch are mostly under wraps. However, we do know that balance adjustments will be implemented. The update will be pushed out in the middle of the week.
The most recent update for ARMS released about a month ago. It was rather significant, adding in Max Brass as a playable character, his ARMS and stage, the “Hedlok Scramble” mode, and more. Next week’s update may not be as big, but will still be worthwhile.

New TumbleSeed update includes Switch-exclusive 2-player Battle Mode
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
The “4 Peaks Update” for TumbleSeed arrived on Switch today. There’s quite a bit here, including six new game modes, new persistent unlockable abilities, a weekly challenge, and more. On top of that, aeiowu added in an additional feature that we didn’t see coming.
Switch players can now try out an exclusive 2-player Battle Mode. aeiowu describes it as follows
It’s a 1 on 1 King of the Hill style competitive mode. Basically, stay in the “hill” (blue diamond in this pic) and accumulate points to win. You spawn with a new power after dying. Those are based on if you’re winning or losing. We’re having a lot of fun w/ it here at the office. Controls can be two joy-cons, a pro controller and a set of joy-cons or whatever you can dream up. It’s all local, on-the-go or docked.
Rounding out today’s TumbleSeed news is an imminent sale for the game. The discount isn’t actually live yet due to some sort of mixup, but when it is, you’ll be able to grab it for just $9.99.

The first update for Cave Story+ has arrived. Nicalis published the patch today, which adds the option to play through the game with classic graphics. It maintains the 16:9 aspect ratio, but ditches some of the new bells and whistles like water effects and animations on character portraits.
Here’s a comparison:
Nicalis will continue updating Cave Story+ in the future. Among the additional features planned is a co-op mode in which you can play together with a friend.
