There were a few announcements for Octopath Traveler today, including a special edition. This will vary a bit between North America and Europe.
In the stateside release, a soundtrack CD will be included. However, this isn’t the case in Europe. The Compendium Edition won’t have the CD, though it will feature the same pop-up book, map, and replica coin.
Nintendo has determined a release date for the new Splatoon 2 amiibo. Pearl and Marina will be available starting on July 13.
Here’s the news straight from Nintendo:

As of today, GameStop is running a pair of new trade-in deals for Switch.
First up, GameStop will provide consumers with 50% more credit for used games when traded toward a new Switch system or games. This lasts through March 14.
One of the big announcements from today’s Nintendo Direct was Undertale for Switch. Soon after, it was revealed that the GameMaker Studio 2 engine will be supported on the console.
This is obviously good news for many developers, including Endesga. Since Switch now supports GameMaker Studio 2, we can look forward to Nykra on the platform.
IT'S LEGIT I'M PUTTING NYKRA ON THE SWITCH.
I'M PUSHING IT ABOVE PS4, XBOX, EVERYTHING. SWITCH.
