The end of Miitomo was announced last month. But as the sun sets on one Nintendo mobile app, the company is gearing up for something entirely new. Earlier in the week, Mario Kart Tour was revealed for smart devices.
As of now, we know almost nothing about Mario Kart Tour. Literally the only information we have is that it’s releasing in the fiscal year ending in March 2019. That’s it. Not a single gameplay detail.
That means it’s up for us to think about the possibilities for Mario Kart Tour. Will it retain the same basic style of gameplay that we know of in which the perspective is set from behind the racer you’re playing as? How will the game play on mobile devices? Who should be on the roster? If you have any thoughts about Mario Kart Tour, be sure to share them with us in the comments below.
Miitomo has been updated with more content. Users will find returning stages with more items.
“Folklore in the forest! Fairy Fashion” is the returning theme. The stages provide the following:
GameStop has revealed a pre-order bonus for Dragon Quest Builders. If you reserve the game, you’ll gain access to exclusive Slime DLC.
GameStop is offering the following:
– King Slime Light
– Slime Eyes and Mouth
– Slime Light
The items above will work in Dragon Quest Buidlers’ free-build mode.
You can pre-order Dragon Quest Builders at GameStop here.

Trinket Studios may not be finished with Battle Chef Brigade. When asked about the possibility of updating the game with online support, the developer said that “some fun surprises” are planned for this year.
Trinket said:
Thanks so much! We have some fun surprises for this year, though since there are only three of us, we can't do it all at once 🙂

No word yet on what Trinket Studios has in store. If we hear about anything, we’ll be sure to bring the news to you.
The localization of Song of Memories was announced this week. In both North America and Europe, the game will be published by PQube.
Fans of physical releases will be happy to hear that Song of Memories won’t be an eShop exclusive. It will be sold at retailers, and Amazon UK has already opened pre-orders here. We also have the game’s boxart above.
Last week, 10 Second Run Returns came to the North American Switch eShop without any notice. It hadn’t been mentioned in the Nintendo Download report or anywhere else recently.
This has now happened for the second week in a row. Despite missing from the Nintendo Download press release, The Men of Yoshiwara: Kikuya appeared on the North American eShop. The visual novel can be purchased for $19.99.
Here’s some additional information and a trailer:
Some new sales went live on the North American Switch and 3DS eShops this week. On Switch, Perception has been discounted for the first time, and there are some other decent offers as well. For 3DS specifically we’re highlighting the fact that all of the Ace Attorney games are on sale, including Apollo Justice.
Here’s the full roundup:
Celeste is off to a very good start on Switch. The game has sold the most on Nintendo’s console, according to creator Matt Thorson.
Thorson told Destructoid in a new interview:
“The Switch version of Celeste has sold the most, and that’s what we were expecting. We feel like Celeste and the Switch are a perfect fit for each other. We are glad we launched on all consoles though, and we really appreciate the support we’ve seen across the board.”
Thorson hasn’t divulged any specific sales figures for Celeste. But as we’ve seen, it’s topping the Switch eShop charts.
