A new patch for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was delivered this week. Although Nintendo kept quiet about specifics, players quickly noticed that the game’s performance had been improved. Areas with frame rate drops were improved in version 1.1.1.
NX Gamer published a video yesterday that provides a good look at the performance improvements by showing what the frame rate was like before and after the update. You can watch it below, but note that one of the villages is shown.
Jakks Pacific’s World of Nintendo line is still going strong. Toys and other merchandise are in the works, and a number of new additions are on the way.

A new month is here! We’ve just entered April, so that means we want to know what you’ve been playing.
Have you started up something entirely new for the month? Still playing Zelda: Breath of the Wild? Or maybe you’ve moved on to something else on Switch like Snake Pass. Whatever the case, let us know in the comments below!

Update: Bumped to the top with Shantae demake and more.
It’s April 1 in Japan, meaning April Fools’ Day has already begun. Companies are already coming out with some interesting hoaxes in celebration of the event. We’ll keep this post updated with anything noteworthy that appears over the next day or so.

This past week, YouTuber Haley Ojedi finished up The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild during a live stream – and received a special surprise in the process.
Sean Chiplock is the voice of Revali in Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s English version. Believe it or not, he actually appeared in Ojedi’s stream. Chiplock not only recorded a special message for Ojedi congratulating her on beating the game, but also gave a generous donation to help raise enough money to send her to E3.
Here’s the relevant recording (note: credits are shown):
Hearthstone, Blizzard’s popular collectible card game, has stayed on mobile and PC since its launch a few years ago. With Switch out on the market, fans are wondering if it could eventually land on the new console.
Express Online did ask Hearthstone senior game designer Mike Donais about the possibility. “I personally haven’t talked about it but I’m more focused on card design,” he said. “Hearthstone is available on iPads and phones, so it’s a good discussion worth having.”
Director Jeff Kaplan recently said in a Reddit AMA that bringing Hearthstone to Switch would be “very challenging”. However, he also noted that the team is “always open minded about exploring possible platforms.”

There are a lot of short tips that cycle through the brief loading screens of Snake Pass. The most helpful was perhaps the most obvious: “Remember, think like a snake.” I wouldn’t be entirely satisfied categorizing this as a physics-based puzzle game. Calling it a platformer is closer, but you can’t jump. Stick this game into any established category and you’ll find that its slithery nature slips right back out. Snake Pass is, mechanically speaking, a sort of deconstruction of the 3D platformer. It’s not quite like anything I’ve ever played.
After announcing the Humpback Pump Track stage for Splatoon 2 earlier today, the series’ official Tumblr page updated with the news.
First, we have the following overview:
“Introducing Humpback Pump Track. This new stage is an indoor BMX track, but Inklings use it as a stage for Turf War. It features many curvy ups and downs, and the bike track surrounds a small hill in the middle. You’d think the openness makes for great visibility, but the hump abundance creates a surprising amount of blind spots. Inklings can employ multiple strategies, including frontal breakthroughs or attacking from the side.
Oh… and we just realized that jellyfish can ride bikes? What!?”
And these screenshots:
Nintendo has announced several new stages for Splatoon 2 since the initial reveal in January. Other levels include The Reef, Musselforge Fitness, and Diadema Amphitheater.
