It seems we’re not done with the early looks at the Switch, as another picture of the console has surfaced. It’s not clear if this is from the same individual who has already shown us the OS of the Switch or if this is a similarly lucky individual who just received his unit early. Regardless, we’re able to get a much better look at the instructions included on the side of the box containing the console now. Check it out below.
In both North America and Europe, Tank Troopers is now available on the 3DS eShop. A bunch of footage can be found below.
Lightwood Games published a gameplay video for its Wii U / 3DS puzzler Pic-a-Pix Color today. View the clip below.
Update: This looks to be real. Video of the OS is below.
NeoGAF member hiphoptherobot has apparently managed to secure a Switch unit nearly two weeks before release. He claims to have been “lucky” – meaning he’s not a member of the media.
hiphoptherobot shared some photos of his find, including a new image of the Switch UI. It definitely looks legitimate, but in this day and age, you can never be too sure. We’ll keep this post updated with any additional information or images that may come in.
Thanks to Matthew M for the tip.
Here’s something that may come as a bit of a surprise. On the official GDC 2017 site, Super Bomberman R is shown as one of the playable games developed with the Unity engine. Rather than going with internal tools, Konami and HexaDrive decided to use third-party technology. Fortunately we know that Switch supports Unity very well.
Tank Troopers is out now on the North American and European 3DS eShops. To download the game, 1,240 blocks of space are needed. That amounts to 150.5 MB.
Update (2/16): Embed version is below:
Original (2/15): The next part of Game Informer’s month-long Zelda: Breath of the Wild coverage is now online. Another piece of the magazine’s interview with Shigeru Miyamoto and Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma is shared. For today’s snippet, the two developers talk about storytelling and what we can expect from it in Breath of the Wild. We again get to hear Aonuma tease his “trick” that he used that he had been thinking about for roughly two decades.
The interview can be watched here here. When an embed option is available, we’ll add it in here (probably tomorrow).
Go! Go! Kokopolo, a game five years in the making, finally has an official release date. Circle Entertainment announced a date of February 23 today. Go! Go! Kokopolo 3D will cost $5.99.
Take a look at a trailer for Go! Go! Kokopolo 3D. We’ll let you know when the title has been dated for Europe.

Original: Niantic announced yesterday that a new Pokemon GO update is planned for this week. As previously mentioned, it adds a ton of new Pokemon plus some new features.
We’re now starting to hear reports that the update is going live. At least on Android, users are now starting to see the new version. We’ll keep you up to date as the rollout continues.
