Towards the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, Nintendo NY closed its doors. Now, however, the store is getting ready to open back up, though it will do so in limited capacity.
All guests are now required to reserve 30-minute slots. There will be no entry on Monday while the hours for other days will be from 11 AM to 5:30 PM. Guests are asked to practice a few safety measures, including wearing a face covering at all times, sanitizing hands, maintaining a safe distance of at least six feet, postponing visits if they’ve been exposed to experience symptoms of COVID-19.
Here’s some additional information:
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night received its Boss Revenge and Chroma Wheel update on most platforms in July, but it turns out that Switch owners have been forced to wait. The team has now provided an update, stating that the patch should go live on Nintendo’s console “later this month.”
Boss Rush lets players take control of several villains while battling a series of heroes. Chroma Wheel allows for more customization. You can read more about the new Bloodstaind update here.
The heavily-rumored Pikmin 3 Deluxe was finally announced today. Nintendo has now opened the teaser site, accessible here. There’s not a ton of content there at present, but it should receive a proper update before launch.
We do want to bring up that the site mentions at the bottom that Switch Lite players are required to use detached Joy-Con. However, this is likely nothing more than an error. If we do happen to hear otherwise, we’ll definitely let you know.

When Nintendo announced Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze for Switch, you may recall that Nintendo pulled the listing from the Wii U eShop. Something similar has now happened with Pikmin 3.
Pikmin 3 Deluxe was revealed for Switch earlier today, and the original version is no longer available on the Wii U eShop. Searching for the game doesn’t bring up any results. A Pikmin 3 Wii U listing is still up on Nintendo’s website (for now anyway), but there’s no option to buy a digital copy.
King of Fighters R-2, a fighting game from the Neo Geo Pocket Color era, was confirmed for Switch during the New Game+ Expo earlier this summer. It was originally expected sometime in July, though the month just went by without any updates from SNK.
The good news is that King of Fighters R-2 has actually just released – well, in Japan that is. It’s out now on the Japanese eShop, though we’re still waiting for the game in the west. It’s possible that we could end up seeing it in North America and Europe after the regular store update tomorrow.
