In Japan today, Nintendo kicked off a new subscription service for Switch known as Wide Care.
The service promises to fix problems with Switch systems up to six times a year or damages worth up to 100,000 yen. Issues such as fall damage, water damage, and “natural failures” will all be taken care of. Shipping is included as well.
A new Max Raid Battle event is here for Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield with players having a chance to obtain Shiny Marill.
The event is putting the focus on Water-type Pokemon. By defeating them, you’ll be given items like Fresh Water, Soda Pop, and Lemonade. Poliwag, Marill, and Spheal will be appearing more often. Shiny Marill isn’t a guarantee to show up, so you’ll need a bit of luck on your side.
