Nintendo has more maintenance lined up for all of its platforms this week. Switch, Wii U, and 3DS will be impacted over the next few days. Online play may be impacted.
Here’s the latest maintenance schedule:
Black Friday 2017 is just a few weeks away. With the big savings event so close, it’s no surprise that some of the deals are beginning to leak.
Target is first out of the gate. Unsurprisingly, some Nintendo deals are planned. Target is teasing games for $15, $25, $30, and $35. The full list is unknown at this time, but we’re aware that something like LEGO Worlds will be down to that $15 price point.
Capcom provided its latest financial results today, and revealed new data for both Ultra Street Fighter II and Monster Hunter XX for Switch.
Capcom once again that Ultra Street Fighter II was “a smash hit”. The game has shipped 500,000 copies worldwide thus far.
It’s been a couple of months since launch, but Nintendo has just now published an accolades trailer for Pokken Tournament DX. View it below.
1-2-Switch received an update last week that seemingly went under the radar. Players can now download version 1.1.
The new update adds one new thing: the ability to capture video. Similar to games such as Super Mario Odyssey, you can hold the Capture Button to record up to 30 seconds of the previous footage. The functionality will work if your Switch system is on firmware version 4.0.0 or higher.
Capcom commented a bit more on Switch stemming from its latest financial results. The company said that Switch is important as one outlet for multiplatform games. However, Capcom wouldn’t say if any exclusive projects are in the works.
The Wall Street Journal recently obtained a comment from Capcom in which a spokeswoman said releasing older games on a new console is not unusual for third-parties since there isn’t enough time to develop new titles within a year of its launch. Capcom has thus far released Monster Hunter XX for Switch in Japan, and will be bringing the Resident Evil Revelations games to the system this month around the world.
Farming Simulator: Nintendo Switch Edition is out this week both physically and digitally. We have the game’s launch trailer attached below.
Arc System Works recently founded a North American division. Called Arc System Works America, they will handle publishing and localization of Arc System Works titles in North America. The first of these for the Switch will be the recently revealed fighting game BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle. The game will be released sometime next year.
The latest patch for Pokemon Duel has gone live, which brings the game up to version 4.0.4. First of all, a bunch of new figures have been added: Incineroar (EX), Tapu Bulu (EX), Torracat (R), Ludicolo (R), Litten (UC), Lombre (UC) and Oricorio Baile Style (UC). Furthermore, a new 10-pack booster has been added which guarantees you an EX or UX when you open it.
Finally, there have been a couple of balance changes to some figures:
Mega Charizard X – Movement increased from 2 to 3
Mega Charizard Y – Movement increased from 2 to 3
Chesnaught – Hammer Arm’s power increased from 90 to 100
Torterra – Bite’s power increased from 60 to 100
