Original (2/16): Rime’s big Switch update has been approved, and it’s arriving in just a few days. Grey Box announced today that the patch will land on February 19.

While “volume streaming hiccups” couldn’t be addressed, significant improvements have been made across the board with the game’s visuals and performance, “especially in handheld mode.” Rime on Switch will feature an enhanced resolution, more stable frame rate, and much more.

Here’s the full message from Grey Box about Rime on Switch, including an offer for a small Dreadnought PC bundle, full patch notes, and comparisons.

To reiterate what was mentioned in our previous post, only Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 will be offered as a cartridge. The second collection is a digital download.

Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 + 2 will cost $39.99 at retail and comes with an exclusive Mega Man 30th Anniversary cleaning cloth. Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 and 2 will cost $14.99 and $19.99 on the eShop respectively.

Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 + 2 is releasing for Switch on May 22, Capcom has announced. A total of ten classic games are included.

Here’s a full rundown as to what you can expect:

A number of Splatoon 2 competitions have been taking place over the past few months to determine local champions from some of Europe’s key regions. These winners will now be battling it out at Polymanga’s grand stage in Switzerland to determine the Splatoon European Championship on March 31.

Also at the event, a special virtual concert will be held featuring Pearl and Marina from Off the Hook. They’ll be appearing onstage “to sing along to a series of tracks and perform their slickest choreographed moves, all accompanied by a live band.” This will take place before the Splatoon European Championship.

Nintendo will be sharing more information about the Splatoon European Championship leading up to the event.

As for Bayonetta 2, we’re hearing that the game sold fewer physical copies at launch compared to Wii U. While it did place higher at #5 this week, it did so with a lower amount of units sold. However, one thing to note is that digital sales from the eShop are not included.
