Nintendo has updated the release schedule on its platforms for the week of September 13. Here’s a look at the upcoming digital download schedule:
Vandals is an upcoming Switch game that was playable at Gamescom, but one we didn’t hear about until recently. It’ll be appearing on the eShop sometime in 2019.
Released on other platforms previously, Vandals on Switch will combine the best elements of the mobile and PC editions. The infiltration title “will transport you to the most emblematic cities of street art.”
Fire Emblem Heroes started two new events this past week. Along with Tempest Trials+: Doorway to Destiny, Tap Battle: Illusory Dungeon also kicked off a couple of days ago. Watch footage of both below.
Fortnite made a major change with its Switch version recently. With the 5.40.2 client update, video capture was disabled. The common consensus was that it was done to improve performance and stability, which Epic has confirmed.
According to Epic, the developer has “been seeing a high rate of Out of Memory related crashes.” By disabling video capture, Fortnite is able to save “a significant amount of RAM while also having a positive effect on overall performance across the board.”
For those who still want to use video capture, Epic is “considering the possibility of making this feature optional in the future for players who don’t mind taking a hit on their performance.”
As part of the latest issue of Famitsu, SEGA has released a fresh batch of screenshots from Team Sonic Racing. Included in this stack are the first glimpses provided of the kart racing title’s overworld map and in-game “cutscenes”. Check them out in the gallery below.
In the lead up to the release of Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph 2 in theaters this November, the company’s marketing efforts are now turning focus towards the film. As such, attractions and even music are being transitioned over throughout Disney World’s new Play Zone at Epcot to reflect the upcoming release.
While no official confirmation has been made by Nintendo or Disney at this point, the attentive ears of Attractions Magazine on Twitter have caught on video what sounds like a new orchestration of the Super Mario Kart theme playing at the park.

Niantic posted an update to its blog today recapping activity from the summer. Of course, the company provided an update on Pokemon GO here.
Pokemon GO did well this summer, as activity was up 35% since May. Niantic further says that since social features were added at the end of June, over 113 million friend connections have been made and 2.2 billion gifts have been sent to friends.
Work continues on Pokemon GO. This fall, Niantic says there will be “surprises” on the way “to give Trainers even more ways to play together.”
