A new category of user icons was just added to Nintendo Switch Online. Rather than going with a specific game or franchise, holiday themed designs are now up for grabs.
One thing that has stayed the same is the overall selection. Characters, backgrounds, and frames are all here as usual. Highlighted series include Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Splatoon, and Pikmin.
Nintendo has announced a major update for F-Zero 99, with version 1.1.0 set to add Classic Race as a new mode.
Classic Race has a few elements to it but is essentially designed to replicate the original SNES experience with smaller courses. It’ll come with the same screen ratio as the original, offers a total of 20 racers, and limits things to one Boost per lap. Additionally, the Skyway, spin move, and filling the meter by taking down opponents are all disabled.
Original: New retailer listings have surfaced for Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy that indicate Capcom will be shipping out the collection at retail.
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy was already confirmed to be getting a boxed copy in Japan. However, Capcom said in its original announcement that it would be digital-only in the west. We’re not sure what changed along the way – especially since Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy only had its physical version in Japan and that never changed – but fans will be happy to hear the news.
Following the recent release of Time Master, we have a closer look with new gameplay. 14 minutes of footage is available.

If you’re looking to 100 percent complete Super Mario RPG, the game makes that kind of tough in a few particular ways. The good news is that the game is a little bit on the short side.

System: Switch
Release date: November 17, 2023

From dancing and dungeon-crawling to road-trip adventuring, the Phantom Thieves have been awfully busy since the events of 2017’s Persona 5. Of course, with that game being one of the most acclaimed RPGs of the past decade, there’s been plenty of fan demand for spin-offs and sequels, some of which have been truly excellent. That said, even as a fan of Joker and company I was having a hard time getting excited about Persona 5 Tactica – 2021’s Persona 5 Strikers put such a nice bow on the characters’ stories that I didn’t expect a shift to grid-based strategy to shake things up enough. The good news is that it’s a solid tactics game that introduces some fun ideas to the series, even when its story beats don’t quite hit the mark.
