Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Just a short while ago, Nintendo began distributing a brand new system update for Switch – version 5.0.0. As part of that, the Joy-Con themselves have also received an update. Unfortunately though, we’re not quite sure what it does.
You can update your Joy-Con by visiting the system settings. Head on over to the “Controllers and Sensors” tab, and navigate to “Update Controllers”. The left and right Joy-Con will then be updated individually.
Thanks to all who sent this in.

Atari Flashback Classics on the way to Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Atari intends to be present at the Game Developers Conference next week. Announced just recently, Switch will be featured in the company’s lineup.
Aside from RollerCoaster Tycoon, it also sounds like Atari Flashback Classics will be making its way to Switch. Atari’s titles for Nintendo’s console will be distributed by partners from Christmas 2018.
Thus far, two volumes of Atari Flashback Classics have been released on other platforms containing 50 titles each, with another one planned. It’s unclear if Switch will be getting the first edition or all three volumes (or something else entirely such as a bundle). We may learn more when GDC 2018 takes place between March 19 and March 23.
Thanks to AwesomePlatter for the tip.
