A number of new items have been added to Miitomo. Among the selection you’ll find in the app, the following are now available:
– Rose eyepatch
– Devil’s horns
– Night robe
These items can be obtained by using Miitomo coins in Miitomo Shop.
Game Freak has a delicate balance going on at the moment. The studio is currently wrapping up Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon for 3DS. But as we found out at E3, Game Freak is also shifting towards Switch with its very first Switch project.
On the bright side, handling two big projects doesn’t seem to be an issue for the company. In an interview with GameSpot, Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon producer Shigeru Ohmori noted how the latest 3DS games can be thought of “mainly as a project for our younger staff to work on and grow and develop their skills, while perhaps the more veteran, established members of the company can work on the upcoming [Switch] project.”
Ohmori explained:
Switch had its biggest firmware update this past week. Video capture for select games, data transferring, and eShop pre-loading were among the features added.
Once the update dropped, Switch owners began to notice some other additions and changes. For instance, the system now has support for USB wireless headsets.
Update: The Easter egg has now been found:
Did you lose your train ticket? Lol

Original: Splatoon 2 may hold at least one notable mystery. Apparently, players have yet to discover one of the game’s Easter eggs.
The news comes straight from Jordan Amaro, one of Splatoon 2’s developers. Amaro put out this cryptic tweet earlier in the month:
DidYouKnowGaming? and Unseen64 published a video today investigating a number of Nintendo-related pitches. Some were previously known, while others are entirely new.
One interesting pitch is tied to Retro Studios. In mid-2007 or so, following the end of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption’s development, a very small team within the company pitched a revival of Kid Icarus. It was supposedly led by Jason Behr, a veteran designer at Retro.
Had it not been for the Super NES Classic Edition, Star Fox 2 may have been lost to history. The game was never intended to be released after Nintendo canned it due to the impending launch of the N64. That’s despite the fact that Star Fox 2 was essentially complete.
A couple of decades later, Star Fox 2 finally made its debut on the Super NES Classic Edition. Famitsu decided to ask Nintendo how the release happened. In an interview with Famitsu, Kazuhiro Maruyama, Takao Shimizu, and Kazuyoshi Nishi explained the situation.
Arachnid Games, who brought Ballpoint Universe to Wii U a few years ago, released its latest game Diluvion earlier this year. The developer has confirmed on Twitter that this title is now making its way to Switch.
Arachnid Games told one fan:
We're working on it! But it's going to be a while, so be patient. 🙂

Diluvion is described as a “3D deep sea, Jules Verne inspired, exploration game with RPG elements and thrilling submarine combat”. We have more details and a trailer below.
A second alpha test for PokeLand kicked off a few days ago on Android, featuring new levels and Pokemon. Get a look at some footage below.
Nintendo is still adding new content to Splatoon 2. Every week, we’ve seen new weapons and stages added to the game. When it comes to multiplayer maps, Nintendo has coming up with brand new areas plus stages returning from the original game.
One player claims to have found one such returning level. If you’re interested in learning more about the situation, continue on below.
