Pokemon Duel is being updated once again tomorrow. A balance patch is on the way, affecting several Pokemon in the game.
Serebii brings us the following information about the update:
Digital Foundry has uploaded a new video showing how Super Bomberman R on Switch manages to get a stable 60 frames per second with the new version 1.3 patch.
Apparently, in order to stabilize the game at 60 FPS, Konami has dropped the resolution and Super Bomberman R runs at 720p in Battle Mode while docked. While playing portably, the image quality also takes a dip to 540p. The Story Mode retains the original resolution of 1080p docked and 720p portable, now with an uncapped frame rate of roughly 45 FPS.
Here’s the analysis:
You may be familiar with the World of Nintendo toys. Jakks Pacific is the company responsible for them and in a recent press release announcing their first quarter financial results, they have highlighted that the launch of Switch has boosted their sales (probably refering to their World of Nintendo brand).
Additionally, the Chairman and CEO Stephen Berman has confirmed that they are planning more Splatoon products, which will probably benefit from the launch of Splatoon 2 for Switch this July:
“As we look ahead to the next few quarters, we will continue to focus on margin improvement and our long term strategic goals. Our fall lines are moving forward as planned and we have a strong line-up of new product introductions that are a balanced mix of owned IP and licensed brands, including Real Workin’ Buddies™ Mr. Dusty, XPV® Extreme Performance Skateboard RC, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Disney/Pixar’s Cars 3, DC Superhero Girls and Nintendo Splatoon.”
Minecraft: Wii U Edition is receiving a Glide Beast Track Pack today. Three new maps are being added: Kraken, Yeti, and Dragon.

The sixth Global Mission in Pokemon Sun & Moon has begun. This time, players need to collect Poke Beans in Poke Pelago. The goal is to collect 3,000,000 or more Poke Beans by May 9th, 23:59 UTC. If the mission is a success, all players get 2000 FC; if the mission fails, all players get 200 FC. As always, these rewards are doubled if the game is tied to a Global Link account. If a player collects 30 or more Poke Beans, they get one Rare Candy. If all players collect more than 6,000,000 Poke Beans, everyone with a Global Link account gets a Level Ball.
The preview images of this week’s Famitsu magazine have revealed a new game for the Switch: Nobunaga’s Ambition: Taishi (Aspiration), the latest entry in the long-running Nobunaga’s Ambition series. We don’t know much beyond that at this point, but expect more info once we get our hands on this week’s issue of Famitsu.
