A lot has been made over a new issue that has surfaced with Switch as the system rings in its first anniversary. For games that have been played over a year, the play time count in your profile is no longer displaying properly. Instead of showing how long you’ve played, the profile instead starts out by stating that you’ve started playing it “x days ago” – which doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.
Nintendo of America commented on the issue yesterday, indicating that the situation is being investigated and more news is coming soon. Nintendo’s Japanese support site now has further news about what has occurred.
A new month is here! We just entered March this week, so that means we want to know what you’ve been playing.
Have you started up something entirely new for the month? Do games such as Bayonetta 1 + 2 and Dragon Quest Builders still have your attention? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments below!
Shantae Half-Genie Hero Ultimate Edition will soon be releasing physically on Switch. By buying the game around launch, you’ll receive the “Day One Limited Edition”. Amazon provides us a look at the full contents as shown in the image above.
A couple of extra goodies will be provided in the package. Along with the game, customers will receive an exclusive artbook and music soundtrack.
You can pre-order the Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Ultimate Edition Day One Limited Edition on Amazon or GameStop.
Nintendo has now opened the full North American website for Kirby Star Allies. You can access it here.
Aside from the usual information and media, the site also holds something interesting for My Nintendo members. Users can earn Platinum Points by finding Kirby’s missing Friend Hearts. There are four in total, each giving 25 Platinum Points. You’ll have until September 30 to complete the challenge.
A ton of gameplay has surfaced showing Attack on Titan 2 running on Switch. Have a look at 30 minutes of footage below.
World Conqueror X is set to debut on the Switch eShop this coming week. For a look at the game in action, view the video below.
This month, Game Informer is publishing its 300th issue. The magazine created five covers in total to celebrate the milestone, and one of the designs based on none other than Metroid. You can get a look at the beautiful design above.
Tying in with the big issue, Game Informer is choosing the top 300 games of all time. You can bet that Metroid places high up on the list.
Can you believe it’s already been a full year since Switch launched? It’s been a whirlwind for Nintendo, as the system has been more successful than anyone could have predicted.
Switch was released less than two months after its full unveiling following last year’s January presentation. Since then we’ve seen great game after great game, including Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Splatoon 2, and others – and that’s just on the first-party front. Many fantastic third-party games and hit indie titles have helped make Switch’s first year special.
Switch’s first year is officially in the books. We can’t wait to see what lies ahead for the console in the years to follow.
Here are a few messages from Nintendo and other developers:
To celebrate Switch’s first anniversary, Nintendo has published a new video interview with Shinya Takahashi. Takahashi weighs in on the system’s first year, his favorite kart in Mario Kart, and more. Watch the full interview below.
