Landon Podbielski, creator of Duck Game, has expressed significant interest in bringing the game to Switch. In fact, he’s currently looking into obtaining a dev unit at the moment.
Podbielski told one fan on Twitter:

Duck Game may not be a name that you’re familiar with, yet it’s been looked upon favorably since debuting in 2015. We’ve included an overview and trailer below so that you can get a feel for what the title has to offer.
Enter the futuristic year of 1984, an age where ducks run wild in a frantic battle for glory. Win over the crowd and gain a following by blasting your feathered friends with Shotguns, Net Guns, Mind Control Rays, Saxophones, Magnet Guns, and pretty much anything else a duck could use as a weapon. One hit and you’re roasted. This is DUCK GAME. Don’t blink.
2 to 4 PLAYERS in either Local Multiplayer Couch Combat, or NEW Online Play!
Single Player challenge mode
Easy to pick up, emphasizing strategy over twitch reaction

Nintendo shared new details about Mario Sports Superstars, which was just confirmed for a March 10 launch in Europe.
To recap, soccer (football in Europe), tennis, golf, baseball and horse racing are included. Single-player tournaments will be included, along with local and online multiplayer modes.
Here’s a rundown of the different sports and features:
“With five fully-fledged sports games included, Mario Sports Superstars offers something for everyone. Football fans will compete in full-on 11-a-side matches, and will need to master both team tactics and individual skills in order to be victorious. Fans of the Mario Golf and Mario Tennis series will be familiar with the classic gameplay on offer in the golf and tennis games here, developed by Camelot Software Planning. Baseball fans will need to work on their batting and pitching techniques, as heavy-hitters such as Bowser are lining up to knock it out of the park in the first Mario-themed baseball title to be released in Europe in over 10 years. In Horse Racing, aspiring jockeys must saddle up, jump over obstacles and gallop to the finish line first to be crowned as champion. Collecting carrots along the way will replenish your stamina, while collecting stars will enable you to use the special Star Dash technique, greatly improving your chances of victory. Players can also show their caring side by visiting their favourite horses in the Stable. By petting, feeding and grooming a horse, players can build a special bond with it which will work to their advantage on the racing track.
Nintendo released a bunch of new screenshots from Mario Sports Superstars today. Additionally, we have a few images showing off the upcoming amiibo cards. We’ve posted it all in the gallery below.
My Nintendo began offering a few new Zelda-based rewards at the very start of December. For those in Europe, these same items are now available.
First, a 30th anniversary Zelda 3DS theme can be had for 300 Platinum Points. Three different 3DS videos are also live for 100 Platinum Points each. After you’ve downloaded them, you can watch orchestrated performances of Zelda music.
All of these rewards are accessible on My Nintendo here.
A few days ago, Nintendo announced that Mario Sports Superstars is making its way to North America on March 24. Europe will be getting the game slightly earlier. Today, Nintendo revealed a release date of March 10 for PAL regions.
Take a look at the updated Mario Sports Superstars boxart for Europe above. Just like North America, an amiibo card is included in first-print copies.

Capcom sent out a wave of details about The Great Ace Attorney 2 today. There are some details about the plot and general setup, though most of the content recaps returning characters and systems. Find the full breakdown below, courtesy of Gematsu’s translation.
Some additional info has come out about Fire Emblem Heroes – from a customer service e-mail, no less. Reddit user SBelmont sent a mail to the Japanese Fire Emblem Heroes customer support, asking about whether or not the game will have one global server and whether or not players will be able to change the language of the in-game text and voices.
According to the response, there will indeed be one global server for all players, so the user base won’t be fragmented and split over multiple servers divided by region or language, as is the case with many mobile games. Players will also have the option to change the language of the in-game text, but aren’t able to change the language of the in-game voices. This was likely done to keep the download size of the game manageable, as audio files are usually quite large.
Fire Emblem Heroes will be released on iOS and Android devices on February 2nd.

The Pokemon Company announced today that 5,954 people have been banned from certain online activities in Pokemon Sun & Moon due to having altered save data. The banned players can’t use Game Sync and can’t participate in Rating Battles, Battle Competitions and Global Missions. Affected players will get the error code 090-0212 when they attempt to use any of these features.
The Pokemon Company states it will continue to go after players with edited save data and will issue similar bans to them in the future.
