Mario Kart Tour has been updated to version 2.10.0, bringing a slight change to matchmaking and joining games. Now, players can join Standard Races and Gold Races that friends are actively playing.

This update also pre-loads content for future tours coming to the game – including settings such as being able to see detailed play records for each past tour. The release dates for these settings that are coming soon have not been given at this time, but the official patch notes for this update can be seen below for more information.

Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition, the remaster of the classic Tales of Vesperia originally released on Xbox 360/PS3, has reached over 1.5 million units sold both digitally and physically. This brings the total number of units sold for the game (both the remaster and original) to 2.8 million. 

Quite the impressive feat, these numbers do not indicate exactly how many of those shipments were from the Switch. However, it is safe to assume that the Switch greatly contributed to these sales, seeing as Nintendo’s hardware (along with PC) never saw this classic game before its remaster in January 2019. 

Pokemon Masters EX has started a brand new Villain event, where players can battle against Team Rocket. This is the Villain Event Prelude: Looming Shadow of Kanto, and it contains special event missions that can be completed to earn rewards such as custom Giovanni & Mewtwo Legendary Spirit.

Additionally, sync pairs used that match the designated region theme will get Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, and Sp. Def bonuses. This event will run in conjunction with the Legendary Event: Lurking Shadow, which lets players team up with Giovanni & Mewtwo and raise the potential and move level of the sync pair. Both of these events will last until October 15, 2021 at 10:59pm PT.

Switch has offered support for social media accounts, allowing users to link their devices to the likes of Twitter. And as part of the new 13.0.0 update, it looks like Nintendo has now made it possible to write longer tweets.

Twitter had long been known for its 140 character count limit. However, in November 2017, it was doubled to 280. It took Nintendo several years, but Switch users can now use the same 280 characters. It had previously been limited to 140.
