Listings on the eShops provide file sizes for a bunch of Nintendo Switch games. These include High On Life, Super Technos World: River City & Technos Arcade Classics, and more.
Here’s the full roundup:
Hot Rod Mayhem, which dropped on Nintendo Switch this week, has gone live with a new launch trailer. The new chaos-fueled arcade racer comes from Casual Brothers.
Lots of details about the game can be found in the following overview:
There have been some scattered claims going around lately saying that Nintendo is phasing out Diddy Kong, for one reason or another. If you have no idea what we’re talking about, that’s completely understandable. This claim is mostly attributed to the dormancy of the Donkey Kong franchise during the Nintendo Switch era – indeed, the only two DK games released there were Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and Donkey Kong Country Returns HD – both ports. Combine this with Diddy Kong’s absence from prominent Mario spin-off games like Mario Party and Mario Golf, and you can (sort of) see how claims like these surfaced. We don’t think it’s true, however – just because Diddy Kong hasn’t appeared very often lately doesn’t mean Nintendo is throwing him by the wayside. So today, we’re analyzing all of his recent game and media appearances to explain why he isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
We’ve seen a few Nintendo Directs over the last few weeks. Another one aired a couple of days ago, which focused entirely on Mario Kart World. The 15-minute presentation went over various modes, features, and more.
A good amount of the broadcast did go over information that was previously announced. However, we did get a look at a number of things, including tracks, items, Battle Mode, Free Roam, and more. You can catch up on all of the details here.
How are you feeling about Mario Kart World after this week’s Nintendo Direct? Are you planning on picking it up alongside Nintendo Switch 2 at the start of June? Let us know in the comments.
In a recent interview, key developers behind Nintendo Switch 2 discussed the making of the new magnetic Joy-Con, revealing that the SL/SR buttons are made of metal and how there wasn’t originally a button that releases the magnet.
Although it’s not something typically done with consoles, the SL/SR buttons are made with metal so that they stick to the magnet included with the Joy-Con. Hardware design lead Tetsuya Sasaki said Nintendo tried out different ideas first, and thanks to technology advancements, it was finally possible.
Nintendo announced its first batch of games for Switch 2 recently, but Mario was missing in action – aside from Mario Kart. Some were surprised that the company did not show off a brand new 3D entry in the franchise. Outside of the bite-sized Bowser’s Fury adventure as part of the Super Mario 3D World re-release, there hasn’t been a new game since Super Mario Odyssey in 2017.
So where is Mario then? CNET posed that question to Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser in a recent interview. Bowser would only shared the following:
Going along with the game’s release, we have a launch trailer for Rusty Rabbit. Nintendo Switch received the side-scrolling action adventure game this week.
A bunch of information about it is available via the following rundown:
January 13: Nate the Hate has made more claims regarding upcoming third-party Nintendo Switch 2 games, including titles from Ubisoft and Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. Details were shared during a new podcast episode today.
As for Ubisoft’s Nintendo Switch 2 support, it’s claimed that we’ll be seeing Assassin’s Creed Mirage within the launch window. Assassin’s Creed Shadows is apparently planned as well, but will follow at a later date.
