Switch

Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition, the remaster of the classic Tales of Vesperia originally released on Xbox 360/PS3, has reached over 1.5 million units sold both digitally and physically. This brings the total number of units sold for the game (both the remaster and original) to 2.8 million. 

Quite the impressive feat, these numbers do not indicate exactly how many of those shipments were from the Switch. However, it is safe to assume that the Switch greatly contributed to these sales, seeing as Nintendo’s hardware (along with PC) never saw this classic game before its remaster in January 2019.

Switch has offered support for social media accounts, allowing users to link their devices to the likes of Twitter. And as part of the new 13.0.0 update, it looks like Nintendo has now made it possible to write longer tweets.

Twitter had long been known for its 140 character count limit. However, in November 2017, it was doubled to 280. It took Nintendo several years, but Switch users can now use the same 280 characters. It had previously been limited to 140.

Koei Tecmo and Gust appear to be developing Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream, as a listing for the title just popped up in the Australian classification database. This is the first time we’re hearing about the name or any sort of follow-up to Atelier Sophie. There has been no announcement from Koei Tecmo just yet.

Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book first released in 2015. It would later appear on a Nintendo platform for the first time when it was made available on Switch earlier this year as part of a DX version.

switch controller update

As part of the new version 13.0.0 firmware for Switch, Nintendo is offering the latest controller update. It can be done by accessing the system settings, going to the “Controllers and Sensors” tab, and then selecting the “Update Controllers” option. Note that if multiple controllers are paired to your Switch, the firmware will be updated one controller at a time.

Strangely enough, we’ve never actually received clarification from Nintendo as to what the Switch controller update actually does. There’s really no harm in doing so though and the whole process only takes a few seconds.
