Nintendo has announced that Tetris 99 will soon be kicking off its 29th Maximus Cup, and players will have an opportunity to obtain a new theme based on Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
During the event, any Nintendo Switch Online member simply needs to play the Tetris 99 online mode. It’s possible to earn points based on placement in each match. Once players have accumulated a total of 100 event points, the theme will unlock, featuring background art, music and Tetrimino designs inspired by Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
It’s time to update your Switch once again, as Nintendo has just started distribution of firmware version 14.1.1
As this is a minor update, the patch notes are pretty small. Nintendo only states: “General system stability improvements to enhance the user’s experience.” Per usual, the Big N didn’t go into specifics.
At the end of this month we will see the release of Nintendo Switch Sports, the new entry for the Wii Sports series. Taking into consideration the similarities between Switch and Wii, including motion controls and the huge install base, it’s not a surprise to see the series returning.
However, some have questioned decisions made for the game such as the six sports available or the new design for characters. In today’s video, I discuss everything that we know about the game yet and share a few opinions as well. You can check the video down below – and be sure to watch until the end, as we also have a giveaway in which you can win $20 eShop credit.
Following today’s leak regarding Nintendo Switch Online, Twitter user Mondo_Mega has come forward with a list of GBA games that have apparently been tested for the service.
A number of heavy hitters are here. You’ve got top releases from Nintendo like Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Metroid Fusion, Metroid Zero Mission, Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, Golden Sun, and Wario Land 4. Third-party games such as Astro Boy: Omega Factor, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, and Mega Man Battle Network 2 were apparently tested as well.
Jason Momoa, the star of Aquaman and Dune, is now set to be the leading actor in the upcoming Minecraft movie, The Ankler and The Hollywood Reporter have claimed. Additionally, Napoleon Dynamite filmmaker Jared Hess will be in charge of directing.
News about the Minecraft movie appears to trickle in every so often, but this is one of the more substantial updates we’ve had in some time. We heard a few years ago that the film would debut in March 2022, though that never came to be. The COVID-19 pandemic no doubt impacted things, but a new date has not been announced at this time.
Speculation about Game Boy and Game Boy Color games joining Nintendo Switch Online picked up last August. Fans were taken by surprise then the following month when N64 support was announced for the service instead as part of the new Expansion Pack tier. Months later, talk of Game Boy games on Switch Online is back in the news.
Out of nowhere, four files popped up today on 4chan. According to Twitter user trashbandatcoot, two of these are NSPs with a 7z archive that has loose NCAs. The 7z archive is called Hiyoko, which is a Game Boy emulator apparently made by NERD – Nintendo’s team that has worked on other classic platforms for Switch Online. There’s also a GBA emulator called Sloop.
