Early Snake Pass players have been reporting issues with the game’s use of rumble. Basically, the sound emitting from the effect is very loud, as demonstrated below.
Fortunately, Sumo Digital is already aware of things and has created a patch. The update should be going out “very soon.”
Has-Been Heroes debuted in North America today. If you have the game, you’ll probably notice that an update is already available. It’s still at version 1.0.0, but a few changes were made.
Here are the full patch notes:
* Game balance for release
* Game stability fixes
* Gameplay improvements
* User interface improvements
* Additional and improved visual effects
* Additional tips displayed in the main menu to help players grasp the game better
* Ability to play endings from menu
* Spell element teaser after each elemental boss battle
* Cleared battles now give an extra bonus
Has-Been Heroes might be receiving another patch within the next week. We’ll let you know if/when it goes live.
Update: Bumped to the top. The North American eShop has updated with a similar listing and confirms the same date. Priced at $12.99.
Original: A significant indie game is launching for Switch in Europe next week. Based on an eShop listing, Graceful Explosion Machine will be available on April 6.
Here’s a look at the eShop page:
Graceful Explosion Machine hasn’t been dated for North America yet, but it shouldn’t be too far behind. And of course, the eShop is region free, so regional release dates don’t matter quite as much as they do on Wii U and 3DS.
The folks over at Smosh have once again produced an “honest trailer” for a game. This time, the video focuses on Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Check it out below.

Has-Been Heroes launched today, and Frozenbyte is celebrating with a new trailer for its latest title. We have it below.
Note that a day one patch is also available for Has-Been Heroes. Frozenbyte calls it “a visual and balancing update”.
It took several months, though Super Mario Run finally reached Android devices last week. While revenue will be the most important factor, Nintendo should be pleased to hear that downloads have already surpassed the 10 million mark. The amount is sitting somewhere between 10 and 50 million at the moment.
Nintendo announced that Super Mario Run had been downloaded 40 million times on iOS in its first four days a few months ago. The last official figure on iOS was 78 million at the end of January.
Way back when Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure came out on PSP many years ago, it did see a physical release. But for the game’s latest versions (including 3DS), it was only made available digitally.
Mastiff could be changing this in the future. On Twitter, the publisher is gauging interest in a Kickstarter campaign that would feature a physical 3DS version as a stretch goal. If you’re interested, be sure to let the company know.
Say we create a Kickstarter campaign for a limited edition PC physical w/ a stretch goal for a 3DS physical…you guys and gals interested? pic.twitter.com/yaBjxaGxOy

Ahead of its western launch in late May, NIS America has sent out Disgaea 5 Complete’s opening movie. View the video below.
A couple of months ago, The Pokemon Company banned nearly 6,000 people from certain online activities in Pokemon Sun / Moon. These players were found to have been using altered save data.
Another 7,651 people have now been banned as well. They’ll be unable to access Game Sync, Rating Battles and Battle Competitions, and Global Missions. Such accounts will be hit with the error code 090-0212 when attempting to connect.
The Pokemon Company isn’t stopping here. More players will be banned if they are found to be using altered save data.
