We have another update on the Shiny Koraidon and Shiny Miraidon code distribution for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, with GameStop now issuing a statement.
Fans in the United States haven’t been happy with how the distribution has been handled. After the event began at the end of September, codes were quickly taken up – and many by scalpers. As we previously mentioned, the distribution started on the same day as a new set for the Pokemon Trading Card Game.
A number of new deals are up and running on the North American Nintendo Switch eShop. These include the lowest prices ever for The Oregon Trail, Touhou Luna Nights, and more.
Here’s the full roundup:
When Lapin finally launches on Nintendo Switch, it will be accompanied by a physical release on Nintendo Switch – at least in Asia. English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese are all supported.
Fans will be able to choose between two versions. Along with a standard copy, H2 Interactive will be selling a limited edition that has a number of goodies: a special box, original soundtrack, and diorama acrylic stand. Remember that Nintendo Switch is region free, so you can import the physical release without any issues.
The Limited Run Games LRG3 showcase is returning for a 2025 edition, albeit later than usual. Fans can tune in to the upcoming event on October 29.
In the past, LRG3 has typically been held around June. This would celebrate what would have been E3 season. But now the 2025 show is happening months later.
Nintendo has released its maintenance schedule for the week of October 5, 2025.
We don’t see this very often these days, but there’s some downtime involving Nintendo Network IDs. That actually means that only Wii U and 3DS will be affected. As of now, nothing official has been announced for Nintendo Switch.
Below is the full Nintendo maintenance schedule for the week of October 5, 2025:
Following the launch of Nintendo Switch 2, we’re putting together a complete list of Nintendo Switch 2 games with a game-key card release.
This is a new approach to physical media, which has seen a mixed reaction. In a way, it’s a hybrid between a true physical release and a download code. Each box comes with a cartridge, but there’s nothing really included. Rather than coming with all content, you’ll need to download the game first. After that you don’t need to connect online, but you need to insert the card each time you play.
Listings on the eShops provide file sizes for a bunch of Nintendo Switch games. These include Bye Sweet Carole, Ys vs. Trails in the Sky: Alternative Saga, Absolum, and more.
