One of the big feature requests Switch owners have at the moment is the ability to backup and transfer save data. Thankfully, this is something that Nintendo was apparently thinking about before the system even launched.
The full Switch SDK leaked online today. We’re not really going to discuss it much here, but a couple of excerpts from official documents are worth pointing out.
The first concerns a save data transfer feature that will be released in the future:
In the future, we plan to provide a feature to transfer account save data among multiple consoles. As a result, there is the possibility that user accounts with uninitialized account save data will be added. Note that your design must work without issue, even in this case.
Super Bomberman R users can download the game’s latest update. Version 1.4 began distribution tonight.
Tonight’s update is highlighted by the inclusion of new Konami characters – specifically Vic Viper Bomber, Simon Belmont Bomber, and Pyramid Head Bomber. Four new VS stages have also been added to the shop along with two new series of accessories.
Below are the full patch notes:
Update: Patch notes added below. Pikmin racing suit added for Pikmin-themed amiibo, several changes and improvements.
OriginalNintendo just started to distribute a new update for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. If you have the game, version 1.2.0 is now available.
Nintendo has not yet published the patch notes for today’s update. We’ll add them in here when we have them.
Update: NIS America confirmed the delay, and said it’s “to accommodate the manufacturing and production of the game.”
Original: Culdcept Revolt was originally planned to arrive in the west in a couple of months. NIS America had dated the game for August 29 in North America and September 1 in Europe. Unfortunately, it now appears to be facing a delay.
The latest Culdcept Revolt trailer issued today shows a new October 3 release date for North America. As for Europe, the new date looks to be October 6.
We’ve reached out to NIS America to officially confirm the delay.
Psyonix has teamed up with Adult Swim and Adult Swim Games for a new partnership within Rocket League.

The ‘Cromulon’ Topper can drop as a Painted item as well.
Switch owners won’t have to worry about being left behind. On Twitter, Psyonix confirmed that the same content will be distributed on Nintendo’s platform.

Famitsu sent Nintendo a few questions about the newly-announced Super NES Classic Edition / Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Famicom. The publication was able to get a couple of answers from the company about its new hardware.
First, Famitsu asked how the games were chosen for the Super NES Classic Edition overseas and the Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Famicom in Japan. Nintendo explained:
“It depends on the game’s popularity, whether people were familiar with it, and number of units sold. We carefully hand picked each title to ensure the game lineup appealed to a large audience, so it makes the SNES Classic an easy purchase.”
Following its release on Wii U earlier this year, Vaccine has now debuted on Switch in Japan. View some footage below.
