Pikmin 4 is almost here on Switch, and the first reviews just started to drop. Nintendo lifted the official embargo just moments ago.
This game has been a very long time coming. In September 2015, Shigeru Miyamoto indicated that the project was “very close to completion.” However, it wasn’t until a Nintendo Direct last September that the game was properly announced.
A court case between Microsoft and the FTC has been settled, with a California judge making a final ruling. After nearly a week of testimony, Microsoft’s acquisition has been given the go ahead.
The FTC could choose to appeal the decision. It’s worth noting though that the regulator let things go after a court provided Meta with permission to acquire Within. Because of this, it’s though that the FTC could move on from the Microsoft and Activision Blizzard case as well.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt just got a big update on Switch, bringing the game to version 4.04.
The update includes content from version 4.0 that we’ve been waiting for on Nintendo’s console plus a new cross-progresion feature. It also comes with bug fixes, gameplay adjustments, and quality-of-life changes as well as additional content inspired by Netflix’s The Witcher.
Here’s the full rundown:

Pikmin 4 is the latest Nintendo game ROM to have seen an online leak, and it comes just a few days ahead of the official launch.
Unfortunately, Switch titles and leaks tend to go hand in hand. For instance, Fire Emblem Engage also started to circulate online a few days before release. The same thing happened with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and that was arguably worse since it happened more than a week before the game hit store shelves.
