Every now and then, Nintendo sends out some interesting information to Switch owners through the system’s news feature. Recently, the company revealed the most-played games on the console in 2018.
Perhaps it may not be much of a surprise, but Fortnite topped the list. Nintendo itself had many entries in the top ten alone with Zelda, Mario, Splatoon, and more.
Three new Mario wallpapers have been added to My Nintendo in North America. They all celebrate the new launches of New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe for Switch and Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr.’s Journey for 3DS.

Nintendo has started to update its maintenance schedule for the coming week. Things are looking relatively quiet as of now, with only one session planned for the middle of the week.
The current schedule is as follows:
Japanese magazine Famitsu published some of its last coverage for Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition in this week’s issue. In that section, special developer messages were included. Original chief director / development producer Yoshito Higuchi and remaster producer Yusuke Tomizawa both shared a few words.
Here’s a full translation of what was said:
After initially appearing on Steam a few months ago, the “HUMERUS Update” for Death Road to Canada finally went live on Switch this week. New features were added, including four-player local co-op, three gameplay modes, tweaks, and fixes.
