If yesterday’s video wasn’t enough, we have another look at L.A. Noire running on Switch with another round of off-screen footage. See the gameplay below.
GamesIndustry reports that Nintendo will begin to ship its products to European retailers closer to launch than in the past. By doing so, the company is looking to ensure that release dates are not broken.
Today’s news will have an impact on the smaller stores who order their stock through distribution in particular. These retailers won’t have as much time as they did before to ensure that products are delivered to customers on time. They may have to spend more on next-day delivery so that items are provided on release day.
Nintendo said in a statement that it is “consistently reviewing its shopping schedule” so that its European release dates are honored.
Pinball FX3 was originally planned for a November 14 launch on Switch. Unfortunately, it’s seeing a last-minute delay.
Zen Studios will now be releasing Pinball FX3 sometime in December. A new release date “will be announced shortly,” the studio said.
Zen Studios did not provide a reason for the delay.

Less than two weeks ago, Nintendo announced the release date for Mario Party: The Top 100 in Europe. The game was set to launch on January 5th next year. In a somewhat surprising move, Nintendo announced today that the game would instead launch on December 22nd this year. Usually when release dates change it means they’re delayed, so this is definitely a welcome surprise. The reasoning for the release date change is unclear, though perhaps Nintendo wanted to profit from some last-minute Christmas shoppers.
