Update 2 (3/24): Now live on iOS.
Update (3/23): Version 0.59.1 is now live on Android. Not up on iOS just yet.
Original (3/21): Niantic is rolling out another new update for Pokemon GO. Users on iOS should soon have access to version 1.29.1 while Android players will have their game updated to version 0.59.1.
According to Niantic, the 7-day ‘First PokeStop of the Day’ streak will now award a random Evolution item. Minor text fixes have also been implemented.
When a new device comes out, tech-focused YouTube channels can’t help but put them through all sorts of durability tests. Yesterday, GizmoSlip did just that, and in some… creative ways.
As a new Switch owner, I almost couldn’t help but cringe a bit seeing the abuse it was being put through. But hey, it survived numerous drops onto concrete, various trick shots such as being tossed through the air into the dock, and more. Guess Nintendo made a pretty sturdy device!
Bye-Bye BoxBoy! released in Europe yesterday on the 3DS eShop. It was originally thought that North America would have the game on the same day due a tweet Nintendo sent out a couple of weeks ago, but that message was deleted – and it’s still not out in the states.
Polygon reached out to Nintendo to find out what happened. Nintendo said that “incorrect information about an upcoming game for Nintendo 3DS was posted on Nintendo of America’s social media channels.” Adding further, the spokesperson said, “Nintendo will provide additional updates once the information has been corrected and confirmed.”
NeuroVoider isn’t out on Switch just yet, but it is coming at some point in the near future. Take a look at 25 minutes of gameplay below.
Like other Zelda games, various mini-games are scattered throughout the world in Breath of the Wild. One of these provides 300 rupees for getting the best possible result. Head past the break for more.
The daily login bonuses we heard about for Super Mario Run earlier this week has started. Players can receive gifts starting today for simply booting up the app.
The full rundown of rewards is as follows:
When Level-5 announced Inazuma Eleven Ares last year, the company did so without announcing any platforms. But during the fourth Inazuma Walker live stream today, Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino finally shared some news.
Hino said that, in addition to 3DS, Inazuma Eleven Ares will be on some other platform. “It may also release on what you would call a higher quality game machine… perhaps,” Hino teased.
Switch could certainly be one possibility. With Inazuma Eleven Ares featuring toys and Nintendo’s new system having an NFC reader, a release on the new console would make sense.
You can watch the full, three-hour broadcast of Inazuma Walker below, which even includes trailers for The Snack World anime.
Update: Here’s another video with gameplay:
Orignial: Has-Been Heroes arrives in just a few days, so videos from the final version are beginning to surface. Watch nine minutes of footage below.
