Sumo Digital introduced Time Trials and leaderboards to the Switch version of Snake Pass this week with version 1.2. However, players quickly began to notice an issue with the Joy-Con. After applying the patch, the controllers have a tendency to rumble excessively.
The good news is that Sumo already identified the problem and has a fix in the works. Another update should be distributed soon.
Sumo wrote on its website:
“As many of you know, on Wednesday Snake Pass Update 1.2 was released across all platforms. Whilst there’s been plenty of incredible feedback we also aware that some of you have had some issues with the update. Most notably we’re aware that a number of users on the Nintendo Switch have been experience excessive rumbling of the Joy-Con controllers. We just wanted to let you all known in an official capacity that this is an issue we’re very aware of. You’ll be thrilled to know that we’ve identified the issue that is causing this problem and are working as quickly as possible to get a hotfix out to resolve it as soon as we possibly can.
We apologies for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding with this matter. Hold on tight!”
Since the re-reveal of Beyond Good & Evil 2 at E3 last week, a Switch version really started to look uncertain. Though we maintained a small glimmer of hope about the game releasing on the system, things are even more doubtful now.
Beyond Good & Evil 2 creator Michel Ancel posted a message on his Facebook page today with some news about the project. Platforms were listed in his message, and sadly, Switch is nowhere to be seen.
Given what we’ve learned about Beyond Good & Evil 2 over the past week or so, this was somewhat expected. It’s just a shame that the original rumors were entirely off the mark.
Nintendo is currently hosting some post-E3 appointments for the media. At one event in Europe, Battle Sports Mekuru is on display.
Battle Sports Mekuru will be going by a different name when it heads west. A kiosk shows the updated title “Flip Wars”.
Flip Wars is currently planned for release in North America and Europe this summer.

Nintendo Life published a new interview with Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino. Hino had much to say about Layton’s Mystery Journey, including how he wants to make “Mystery Journey” a new series, supporting Switch in the future, and a possible new movie.
We’ve rounded up some of the more interesting comments from Hino below. You can read the full interview here.
The Splatoon Twitter account has revealed another new song by the in-universe band “Wet Floor”. The song, “Endolphin Surge”, will be used as BGM in Splatoon 2.
The next 8 combatants have been revealed for the Voting Gauntlet and all of them are clerics. You will be able to choose from Elise, Sakura, Maria, Lachesis, Lissa, Priscilla, Clarine and Mist. To prepare for this event there will be 2 new summoning focuses starting today, both include 4 of these 8 healers. So if you’re looking for a specific cleric this would be your chance to grab one.
By entering the code MATSUBUSA, you will be given 5 Mega Stones for your copy of Pokemon Sun or Moon. The stones include Sceptilite, Blazikenite, Swampertite, Banettite and Cameruptite. There is no indicator for how long the event will last, so it might be better to download sooner than later.
Update: The code seems to now be available in Europe too, so the article has been updated to reflect that.
