A few weeks ago, modders and hackers managed to get a rudimentary version of an unreleased Splatoon 2 mode up and running. A second similar mode has been given the same treatment.
Pokemon CEO and president Tsunekazu Ishihara wasn’t always a believer in Switch. In fact, he told Nintendo prior to its release that it wouldn’t be successful. He felt that “in the age of the smartphone, no one would carry out a game console.”
Switch did end up becoming a success in the end having sold close to 20 million units as of Nintendo’s last fiscal year. Ishihara came to understand that “the key to a successful game is quite simple: software with absolute quality leads sales of hardware.”
Several new games out came out this week on the eShop. If you’re interested in checking out what’s new in screenshot form, take a look at the gallery below.
After a fairly long wait, Hollow Knight was dropped onto the Switch eShop next week. If you prefer having a game physically though, it sounds like a new option will soon be available to you.
Team Cherry said in a Reddit AMA that the company is working to make a physical version happen as we speak. The developer hopes to have some news “very soon”.

Pinstripe is getting a Switch release, creator Thomas Brush has confirmed. A release hasn’t been determined yet, but it’s expected in a month or so.
Originally released last April, Pinstripe is a puzzle-adventure game in which a former minister moves through the frozen depths of Hell in search of his kidnapped daughter. We have more information and a trailer below.
Thanks to CoroCoro, we have the first trailer for Yo-kai Watch 4. The video, posted below, doesn’t actually show a whole lot and lacks gameplay entirely. Still, it’s one of our first look at the RPG, which is heading to Switch in Japan later this year.
Here’s a transcript of what’s stated in the video:
This week’s episode of Nintendo Minute has gone live. In today’s video, Kit and Krysta show off Fortnite on Switch. Check out the full video below.
Capcom shared a new video this week delving into the creation of Mega Man 11. Earlier in the week, the company spoke about how the design for Mega Man himself was made.
Here’s the full rundown, courtesy of Siliconera:
Flip Grip ended up on Kickstarter this week as a way of funding the new Switch accessory. In barely any time at all, the project demolished its $42,500 goal. There are still over two weeks remaining in the campaign with around $60,000 raised thus far.
With Flip Grip, Switch owners will be able to easily play games vertically. It’ll be particularly helpful with a title like Ikaruga, which supports tate mode.
You can find Flip Grip on Kickstarter here.
