Nintendo’s maintenance schedule has received its latest update. All of the company’s platforms will be impacted as well as Minecraft for Switch across three different sessions.
The current schedule is as follows:
Since Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee were unveiled earlier in the week, there’s been confusion as to what online features – if any – would be included in the games. Famitsu has finally received clarification straight from The Pokemon Company.
Both titles will indeed allow for online battling and trading. However, in order to use the functionality, you will need to be a Nintendo Switch Online member. Online won’t be overly similar to more recent Pokemon games since features like the GTS, Battle Spot and Wonder Trade aren’t included. Expect a simpler online experience overall.
Thanks to Lin Yuqiang for the tip.

Playable Octolings are finally coming to Splatoon 2 via the game’s upcoming Octo Expansion. The Octolings will be just as customizable as the Inklings – and that includes several hairstyles to choose from. Today, the Splatoon Twitter account revealed one new style each for the male and female Octolings. Females can sport a ponytail while males will have the option of having an afro-like haircut. The afro will actually change shape depending on the kind of headgear you wear, as you can see in the gif below:
