Pokemon GO will soon be introducing a new wave of Pokemon. Niantic announced today that some special Pokemon from the tropical Alola region, originally from Kanto, will be added to the game.
A specific date has not yet been announced. Niantic says the new Pokemon will be appearing “in the coming weeks.”
When the new Splatoon 2 Octotune soundtrack comes to Japan in July, it’ll be accompanied by a limited edition. Play-Asia is now taking pre-orders here.
Aside from the soundtrack, this version of the soundtrack includes a Blu-ray of a recording from the Inkopolive performance at the Tokaigi 2018.
West of Loathing was announced for Switch as a console exclusive during the last Nindies Showcase. Today, Asymmetric revealed that the game is arriving on May 31. It’ll be offered as a digital download on the eShop.
After it originally released on Steam last year, West of Loathing received a great deal of positive feedback. It features a hybrid of point-and-click adventure and open-world RPG gameplay.
Nintendo has started populating its maintenance schedule for this week. Thus far, one period is scheduled specifically for Switch.
The relevant times are as follows:
– 6:50 PM PT (May 23) – 8:30 PM PT (May 23)
– 9:50 PM ET (May 23) – 11:30 PM ET (May 23)

Update (5/21): In addition to North America, The Pinball Arcade can also now be downloaded from the European eShop.
Original (5/11): The Pinball Arcade originally appeared on the Switch eShop last month. The thing is, it was only up for an incredibly short period. FarSight Studios had it removed due to a licensing issue.
A month later, The Pinball Arcade is back up on the eShop – presumably for good. It’s free to download, with a bunch of table packs that can be purchased separately.
