Mario Kart World Nintendo Switch Online icons

As we enter the Nintendo Switch 2 era, the very first Switch Online icons are here for a game on the console – that being Mario Kart World.

Starting today, different designs will be available if you’re a member of the service. Fans can grab icons for many different characters, backgrounds, and frames. Characters, as usual, cost 10 My Nintendo Platinum Points each. Backgrounds and frames will set you back 5 Platinum Points.

With Nintendo rolling out Switch 2, the company has confirmed that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Nintendo Switch Sports have issues on the new console. However, plans are already in place for patches.

For Smash Bros. Ultimate, an online match may end right away if a Switch 1 and Switch 2 player start a match with one person using a Mii Fighter, so it’s advised to avoid using the character currently. Additionally, when creating or modifying a Mii Fighter and saving it, the thumbnail image may not save correctly (saving again may solve this issue).

Pokemon and Violet Tera Raid Porygon2

Porygon2 has been announced as the star of the next Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Tera Raid Battle event.

Porygon2 will be carrying the Normal Tera Type. Per usual, it will come with the Mightiest Mark and can be caught only once per save file.

Super Mario Odyssey Nintendo Switch vs. Switch comparison

Super Mario Odyssey is one of a few Nintendo Switch games that’s been upgraded on Switch 2, and now we have a comparison for the two versions.

Those playing on the new console will notice a number of visual upgrades. The big change is an increase in resolution on Nintendo Switch 2. Additionally, while Super Mario Odyssey ran fine previously, the new console addresses a few hiccups with the frame rate – it’s fully stable at 100 FPS. Interestingly, loading times are pretty much the same, though Nintendo Switch 2 has a very slight edge there.

The next character trailer is in for Shuten Order, and for today’s update, we have a look at Teko Ion. Ayumu Murase is providing the voice.

Thanks to Spike Chunsoft, we have the following information about the character:
