Miitomo has been updated with more content. Users will find a special stage, new stage theme for New Year’s, and brand new items.
Here’s the full roundup:
We haven’t heard much about the Switch version of Tencent’s multiplayer battle arena game Arena of Valor since it was announced during a Nintendo Direct earlier this year. However, the studio now appears to be gearing up for a closed beta.
Over in Europe, you can apply through a survey here. Not everyone who completes it is guaranteed to join, and we’re not exactly sure when the actual beta will begin. It’s also unknown when signups will start in other regions. Regardless, it’s a positive sign that Tencent is starting to give Arena of Valor some attention on Switch.
Hamster has published a trailer for ACA NeoGeo The King of Fighters ’96, which is out now on Switch via the eShop. Check it out below.
Hello Neighbor has been classified for Switch by PEGI, suggesting that a release could be on the horizon – or at the very least tinyBuild is considering the possibility. A listing for the potential version was added to the database earlier this month.
Hello Neighbor is a stealth horror game, with the goal of sneaking into your neighbor’s house to figure out what horrible secrets he’s hiding in the basement. We’ve included some additional information and a trailer below.
Double Dragon was originally supposed to hit Switch this week. However, the game is missing in action. It’s not up on any of the eShops, and Hamster has also confirmed a delay.
Hamster hasn’t set a new release date at this time. The company promises to share news on its Twitter account in the future, though we may learn about it through an early eShop listing beforehand.
iLife filed a lawsuit several years ago, claiming that Nintendo infringed on its motion-sensing accelerometer technology used in Wii Remote controllers. A jury delivered a verdict in August and sided with iLife. Nintendo was ordered to pay $10 million in damages.
The lawsuit is back in the news this week, but unfortunately, things haven’t gone well for Nintendo. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld iLife’s motion-sensing accelerometer patent. Nintendo may still choose to appeal the verdict once the presiding trial judge over the case issues her judgement, and if there are any new developments, we’ll be sure to let you know.
Suda51 is finally back on Nintendo consoles. Next year, Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes will launch on Switch.
Travis Strikes Again was originally announced during the latest Nindies Showcase, and for good reason. The game will have partnerships with a ton of different indie titles. Hotline Miami, Shovel Knight, and others will be featured as t-shirts in the game. The collaborations could extend further beyond that as well.
Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima has conducted new interviews with a few different outlets this week, including Asahi.
In its first article, the Japanese newspaper quotes Kimishima saying that, next year, Nintendo would like to offer new kinds of gameplay that make use of the Joy-Con’s features such as HD Rumble and the motion-tracking camera. He unfortunately did not elaborate further, but the tease itself is interesting enough. HD Rumble allows for more realistic vibrations while the camera can detect the shape, movement, and distance of objects.
Nintendo has once again uploaded a video in which Mario responds to a fan letter. You can watch the fourth episode below (technically the third letter read as the first video was a general introduction).
