NBA Playgrounds is next up as one of the more notable Switch eShop titles. It’s slated for May 9 in both North America and Europe.

In case you’re curious, we now have the game’s file size from an eShop listing. It’ll take up a hefty 7.4GB. Fun fact: that’s more than Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

The Japanese ARMS Twitter account posted yet another update tonight. Two tweets were sent out: one relating to alternate costumes, and another for an ARM.

Nintendo’s first tweet confirms that all characters have four alternate colors / outfits. This was shown with Helix, pictured above.

We also have a look at another ARM (Geru Geru / Gel Gel) below. This is the same jelly-esque weapon first shown in Helix’s trailer last week.

One Switch game rumor that has persisted for months is a new crossover between Mario and Ubisoft’s Rabbids. Kotaku has a follow up on the project today.

Kotaku writes that Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle will be on Switch this August or September. It’s being developed by Ubisoft with the company’s Snowdrop engine.

Based on Kotaku’s report, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle features turn-based combat, two-player local co-op, and a “goofy sense of humor.” Playable characters include Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Peach, and, four Rabbids dressed up as Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Peach.

Kotaku writes about having gotten a look at a particular piece of art that “features Mario and crew wielding guns that shoot laser beams.” We can confirm having seen this as well, and it looks pretty ridiculous – yet amazing.

The first gameplay video has emerged for NBA Playgrounds, launching on Switch via the eShop next week. See it below.

Mario Kart 8 on Wii U had a slight issue with kart ratings. When it came to acceleration, the amount was rounded down to the nearest whole number. That means a kart rated at 2.75 in acceleration raced as if it was rated 2.

Nintendo ended up addressing this in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. A 2.75 acceleration kart will be at its max speed faster than a 2.5, for example.

YouTuber AbdallahSmash026 takes a closer look at the situation below:
