As we enter April, Nintendo is offering a new bonus for Nintendo Switch Online members. User icons for both Kirby’s Adventure and Kirby and the Amazing Mirror are both up for grabs.
In order to claim these icons, you’ll first need to play the games. That means starting up the NES app for Kirby’s Adventure and the GBA app for Kirby and the Amazing Mirror. After that, you can spend My Nintendo Platinum Points on icons for both titles.
For those looking for a complete list of all games included and supported in Nintendo Music, that’s where this post comes in.
Nintendo Music only came with a few songs at launch. However, since then, a few more have been added. Nintendo has also indicated that additional music is coming in the future. Currently it seems that we can expect at least one new title to be brought to the service each week.
Care Bears: Unlock the Magic launch trailer – TV-based adventure platformer lands on Nintendo Switch
Maximum Entertainment, in collaboration with Cloudco Entertainment, issued a launch trailer for Care Bears: Unlock the Magic. Nintendo Switch just received the new adventure platformer based on the TV series.
Catch up on everything you need to know in the following overview:
February 27: Two more characters have just been announced for Pokemon Unite, with Alolan Raichu and Alcremie set to join the fray. This is according to the latest news just shared during Pokemon Presents 2025.
Alolan Raichu is dropping first in April – an exact date wasn’t given, but that information will follow later. We actually don’t have a launch window at all for Alcremie, though a 2025 release is expected.
Imran Khan, a games journalist who previously leaked Everybody 1-2 Switch, has claimed that Nintendo had denied Embracer Group development kits for Nintendo Switch 2.
Khan says that Nintendo “deemed them too chaotic”, with that information being based on what was happening around eight months ago. He added that the company was “afraid the kits would go to studios that would then be closed down and then the kits might have gone missing.” Groups that were later sold off from Embracer and later checked back in apparently had more luck.

Players will find Europe’s green capital with a spire-filled skyline and they can explore the green capital set against a spire-filled skyline.
Today, Blowfish Studios and Indiesruption revealed Vlad Circus: Curse of Asmodeus for Nintendo Switch and other platforms. The title is scheduled to launch in 2025.
Vlad Circus: Curse of Asmodeus is a macabre pixel-art graphic adventure game. If the name sounds familiar, that’s because Vlad Circus: Descend into Madness launched in 2023 on Nintendo Switch.
