Nintendo Switch Sports pre-order bonus

Nintendo Switch Sports is just under a month away from release, so we’ve started up a pre-order guide for the game and it will be updated with news about bonuses at stores. Right now the title can be reserved at most major retailers.

For those that missed out on the original announcement, Nintendo Switch Sports is looking to capture the magic of the Wii Sports games, though with some changes and updates. Soccer, volleyball, bowling, tennis, badminton, and chambara (swordplay) are all included with golf planned for an update this fall. It’s also possible to face off against others worldwide and attempt to reach the Pro League in every sport. Additionally, players can earn points while going up against others users, which can then be spent on rewards for their avatar.

Terraria update 1.4.3

The next big update for Terraria has landed on Switch, with players now having access to version 1.4.3. All content from the 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 patches on PC are also included.

Today’s update is highlighted by the crossover with Don’t Starve Together. It also contains the Community Contest vanity armors and the Tenth Anniversary World Seed and more.

The full patch notes for the Terraria version 1.4.3 update are as follows:

Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?

Today, HandyGames and MGM, along with developer Massive Miniteam, announced plans to bring the classic Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? franchise to Switch and other platforms.

Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? will feature the same quiz-based format that was made famous on the Fox Primetime show. It’ll have multiple-choice questions, true-or-false challenges, and minigames across more than 24 different subjects. Over 6,800 questions on topics like animal sciences, vocabulary, math, and more are planned.

Baldo: The Guardian Owls physical

Today, Pix’n Love Games announced that it’s teaming up with Naps Team on a physical release of Baldo: The Guardian Owls for Switch.

The title will be offered with a standard edition and numbered collector’s edition. Specifics of the latter haven’t been shared, however.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed trailer

This week’s Famitsu review scores are as follows:

Nintendo has just announced that Hulu is being made available today for Switch users in Japan. The app was originally released in North America not long after the Switch’s launch back in 2017, but hadn’t made its way to any other territories.

It’s an interesting move, particularly since Nintendo has slowly been adding more media apps to its catalog. Just a few months ago, Crunchyroll made its way to the system in a surprise release and a few months before that, Pokemon TV landed on the eShop. Although a few other apps like Youtube and Funimation have been on the platform for a while, it’s been mostly devoid of several larger streaming services like Netflix and Disney+. This should remedy that problem a little, at least for Japanese users.

xenoblade chronicles 3 best entry

After the new trailer released last week, we discovered that Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is way closer than we thought, with a new release date set for July 29 rather than September. That is something incredibly rare in the gaming industry and may be a sign that Nintendo and Monolith Soft are really confident in the game.

With that in mind plus some other thoughts, in today’s video I discuss the possibility that Xenoblade Chronicles 3 could be the best we’ve seen of the series thus far. Feel free to check my conclusions below.
