Nintendo has announced that the Winter tour will be starting next week in Mario Kart Tour. Expect it to go live on November 19 at 10 PM PT / November 20 at 1 AM ET.
Nintendo shared a single screenshot from the tour, which we have above.
According to Sensor Tower data, Mario Kart Tour earned $31.8 million in October. It was the 28th top grossing mobile title globally, which was one place above Fortnite (in terms of App Store revenue only). Mario Kart Tour currently has an averaged revenue per download of $0.36.
Sensor Tower compares Mario Kart Tour’s performance to that of Fire Emblem Heroes, though the latter title has been around much longer. In any case, Fire Emblem Heroes generated $8.9 million in October. Also, between November 1 and 10, Mario Kart Tour brought in $7 million whereas Fire Emblem Heroes earned $3.6 million.
Just like with past entries, Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield have serial codes players can redeem in-game. With such codes, players can receive cosmetic items in particular.
There’s good news this time around with how codes are handled. They now work in any region and are not limited to their original place of distribution. That means if a code was originally made available in Japan for instance, it will still work in North America and Europe.
After SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays launches on November 28, Bandai Namco won’t be setting the game aside. A bunch of DLC is planned starting in December and leading into March.

The Victory Point Rally event is now live in Pokemon Masters. This event consists of two parts: first, a log-in bonus giving out useful items for ten days, including Training Machines, Level-Up Manuals and Gym Leader Notes. You have until November 27 to accumulate the total of ten log-ins.
The Victory Point Rally also has an active part: until November 25, you can earn Victory Points by winning battles in both singleplayer and co-op modes. The number of points you get depends on the type of battle you win: Supercourses or Training Event battles give five points, Courses give four points and any other battles give one point. Once the event has finished, rewards will be sent out to players based on the number of Victory Points earned by all players collectively. The reward breakdown is as follows:

Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield are now available worldwide. To celebrate the occasion, Nintendo put together a launch trailer for this newest generation of Pokemon games:
Atlus has released another character trailer for Persona 5 Scramble today. This one focuses on Ryuji Sakamoto, codename Skull:
Players are reporting issues with a rather unfortunate problem: The digital release of Pokemon Sword and Shield seems to be corrupting SD card data when the game crashes. So far, it seems that any crash in the game could lead to the issue. While save files for games are stored on the Switch’s hardware, this could result in players needing to reformat their cards and redownload all of their games. Nintendo has not released any statement in regards to the problem, and there may not be enough data to really pinpoint the cause just yet.
