Continuing the early Switch footage and pictures, we now have an unboxing video for the console from the website FloKo. Furthermore, this looks to be the world’s first unboxing of a Switch. It’s been quite a day for Switch leaks, and I’m sure it has only made the wait harder for some out there. For the rest, you can see the unboxing video for yourself below.
The NPD report for January is in. No Nintendo titles were present in the top ten, but we do still have some news about sales in the United States last month.
NPD reports that the NES Classic Edition outsold Wii U, making it the third best-selling console of the month. Perhaps unsurprisingly at the month, the hardware managed to outsell Wii U.
The latest episode of the Play Nintendo Show is out, with the topic of this episode being Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World. Check it out below.
Some new footage of the Splatoon 2 demo is up to watch on YouTube. It’s a mix of off-screen and direct footage, which you can check out below.
Pokemon GO players can now begin to nab new creatures from the second generation of Pokemon games. Niantic has flipped the switch, and over 80 Pokemon have now been added.
Don’t forget: there’s a new update to download as well. Version 1.27.2 is out on iOS, and version 0.57.2 is available for Android users.
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.
