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.

Amazon has restocked the Super NES Classic Edition. If you’re interested, purchase a system here.
The SNES Classic Edition has started to become more readily available at retailers – GameStop in particular. However, Amazon has been slow to restock the hardware. Currently, it’s being sold as part of a limited time event.
Yesterday, Pokémon GO introduced friends, gifting, and trading systems for level 30 to 40 players. Now, the friend and social features will be available for all Trainer levels, and trading can be unlocked at level 10. The drop was expected, as a similar situation occurred when Raids first launched for players between levels 38 and 40.
Trading in Pokémon GO works much differently from their main series counterparts. You will have to level up your friendship with somebody to trade Legendary or other Pokémon. Additionally, you will have to be in a certain proximity to that person to engage the trade.
Most recently, Niantic introduced Alolan Pokémon to the game through wild encounters and gifted eggs, giving players an additional array of monsters to catch before the remainder of the Generation 3 Pokémon are released.

Today marks the release of Mario Tennis Aces, the next installment in the long-running Mario Tennis series. Unfortunately, however, players have discovered that there are two important options missing from the game: the ability to adjust the length of the match and to choose what court to play on.
A stage select feature is fairly common in titles like Aces, but instead, the game randomly chooses from the seven available courts without any player input. You do have the possibility to disable all stages but the one you want to play on, but it ends up being an unnecessarily tedious process.
Many hope that Nintendo will add these features, as additional characters are being planned in the coming months. Thus far, Aces has a respectable score of 77 on Metacritic, with critics praising its refined mechanics despite a rather shallow single player experience.
Vertical Reach has announced that the puzzle game Yuso is releasing on July 5 for Switch. Pricing is set at $7.99.
You’ll need to clear the screen of Yuso while playing as a space doctor traveling the Solar System. As you progress, the difficulty will increase with later stages in particular posing a high degree of challenge.
Alolan Exeggutor was added to Pokemon GO in late May, with its event wrapping up by early June. The Pokemon disappeared at the time, but has since returned. Alolan Exeggutor can be found freely roaming in the wild.
Some Pokemon GO players are saying that Alolan forms with regular Kanto pre-evolutions can be seen in the wild, hence this creature’s return. Other Alola variants are hidden inside Pokemon Eggs, but since fully-evolved Pokemon don’t hatch from Eggs, they could be out in the wild instead.
To get fans acquainted with the game, Nintendo held a Mario Tennis Aces Pre-launch Online Tournament demo. Switch owners around the world were given an opportunity to battle against others online.
Just a short while ago, Nintendo revealed the top 100 players revealed for North America. See the final scores and most-used characters out of the group below.
After de Blob originally debuted on Wii, it’s returning on Switch on Tuesday after all these years. Get a look at some footage below.
Code of Princess launches on Switch next month. But as some of you may recall, it was originally a 3DS game.
A blog post shared by Nicalis this week goes over the improvements and new content for the Switch version. Co-op, redrawn artwork, and enhanced ability are included.
Turtle Cream isn’t giving up on 3DS – or more specifically, the New 3DS. The studio announced this week that I.F.O is coming to the eShop on June 28.
I.F.O is described as “an old school LCD-style shoot’em up game.” You’ll be shooting UFOs and saving animals kidnapped by aliens.
Here’s a trailer for the game:
