The main hook of Super Ping Pong Trick Shot is throwing a Ping Pong ball into a cup. Various modes are included like Challenge Mode (clear a mission with certain requirements), Score Attack Mode, and Battle Mode.

MotoGP 17 isn’t on Switch. That being said, the system could get future entries starting with next year’s release.
Red Bull asked lead programmer Michele Caletti if MotoGP 17 was ever considered for Switch. Caletti explained that the game was built “without Switch in mind” due to development kits being unavailable until the late stages of development. However, thanks to Switch’s support of Unreal Engine 4, Switch could end up being supported starting with MotoGP 18.
Caletti’s full words:
“MotoGP 17 is the last title made with our in-house engine. Future titles might also be available on Switch, thanks to the support of Unreal Engine, so it’s something possible from the next year on.
The development kits for Switch have been available during the late development phase of MotoGP, thus all the assets and game modes have been created without Switch in mind. Porting it now would end up with something that would not satisfy us and our users. We prefer to concentrate our efforts on building a great Switch version for the next chapter of the series.”

July is right around the corner, which means another set of Fire Emblem Heroes calendar wallpapers. This month, they feature Ike (Radiant Dawn version) and female Corrin, who placed fifth in the Choose Your Legends poll before the game’s release. Next month’s wallpapers will feature Marth and Eirika.
Some unexpected news on the Ace Attorney front today: the South Korean media ratings board has rated Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney for Nintendo 3DS. This would suggest that a port of the DS game is going to be released on the 3DS. The game was ported to iOS and Android devices in December 2016 and received higher resolution graphics in the process, so it’s possible that the 3DS version would be based on that one.
Of course, this is not an official announcement just yet, but in most cases a game being rated by an age rating agency is indicative of an upcoming release. We will keep you updated.
