Outright Games Switch

Even though Nintendo fans are itching to get their hands on the company’s next piece of hardware, many publishers and developers will continue supporting Switch – including Outright Games.

Chris Rose, who served as the production director on SpongeBob SquarePants: The Patrick Star Game, spoke with VideoGamer about plans for Switch going forward. While many will move on and welcome the additional power that Nintendo’s new console brings, Rose feels that abandoning the current system would be a mistake. The big reason is the install base – nearly 150 million Switch systems have been sold around the world.

Super Smash Bros Ultimate update 13.0.3

Nintendo has unexpectedly released a new update for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, bringing the game to version 13.0.3.

Today’s update is about addressing an issue regarding Global Smash Power. Nintendo points out that the patch may cause compatibility issues with previous versions, so players are advised to convert them to video before installing the update.

The official patch notes for today’s update are as follows:

Super Mario Party Jamboree demo

Super Mario Party Jamboree doesn’t appear to be getting a demo on the Switch eShop, but multiple retailers have the game to try out right now. This technically was first made available on October 4, but Nintendo shared the news on social media today.

Select Best Buy, GameStop, Target and Walmart locations all have the game on display. During the ten-minute timed demo for Super Mario Party Jamboree, players can try out Koopathlon and Minigame Bay. Minigame Bay limits the modes to Showdown Minigame Battle, Free Play, and Tag Match.

F-Zero 99 Mario vs. Donkey Kong datamine

Nintendo could have even more in store for F-Zero 99, and the game might be receiving an interesting Mario vs. Donkey Kong event at some point in the future.

That news comes from LuigiBlood, who datamined the game’s latest update. The supposed Mario vs. Donkey Kong Festival event for F-Zero 99 would include a Mini Mario League, and 4 Star Rivals called Mario, Mini Mario, Donkey Kong, and Toad.

Here’s the full rundown:

Switch update 19.0.0

The latest firmware update for Switch just went live as Nintendo has started distribution of version 19.0.0.

This marks another update that won’t bring much excitement to system owners. We get the same rundown from Nintendo that we’ve been used to seeing as of late, which is that the latest stability improvements have been made available.

Below are the official patch notes from Nintendo:

Nintendo is encouraging Switch owners to pre-order Mario & Luigi: Brothership at retail as a number of bonuses are planned depending on which store you go with. We’ve outlined items that have been announced so far and we’ll update this post if others come in.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership will probably be Nintendo’s last big release of 2024. It’s a notable game, especially given how we haven’t seen a brand new entry in the series in nearly a decade. This time around the brothers will journey through the world of Concordia on Shipshape Island. The turn-based action combat fans are accustomed to will be returning.

Here’s our pre-order roundup:
