NBA 2K18’s standard cover will require a change following trade of cover athlete Kyrie Irving
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 6 Comments
2K Sports has a bit of a dilemma on its hands. Kyrie Irving was named the cover athlete for the standard version of NBA 2K18 as a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers. But as ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports, Irving has been traded to the Boston Celtics (and I’m now dying a bit on the inside as a Knicks fan).
It’s not entirely clear how 2K will approach the situation, but logic dictates that the cover will be updated with Irving in a Celtics uniform. Kotaku reached out to the company, and we’ll report back if they provide a statement.
Just to reiterate, the news only affects NBA 2K18’s standard cover. Other versions feature Shaquille O’Neal
WWE 2K18 on Switch will only support six characters on-screen at once
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 96 Comments
2K Sports updated its announcement page for WWE 2K18 on Switch with an interesting note. It now states, “The Nintendo Switch version of WWE 2K18 will support 6 characters onscreen at once.” Reader Mike tells us that other versions of WWE 2K18 will feature eight characters on-screen at once.
It’s unclear if WWE 2K18 will differ on Switch in any other way. 2K Sports has promised the inclusion of new features, the MyPlayer mode, and the new Custom Match option.
Thanks to mike for the tip.

Nintendo lists NBA 2K18 as having amiibo support for Switch on Japanese store listing
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 15 Comments
Nintendo’s Japanese store has added in a listing for the Switch version of NBA 2K18. According to the page, the game will feature amiibo support. We’re currently assuming that the page is accurate rather than being an error.
It’ll never happen, but it’d be hilarious if you could have characters such as Mario and Luigi playing alongside the likes of LeBron James. I’m pretty curious to see what the functionality turns out to be…
Digital version of NBA 2K18 for Switch still on track for launch, physical version pushed to the fall
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 18 Comments
NBA 2K18 has been delayed on Switch… sort of.
The main launch of the sports title is taking place on September 19. While NBA 2K18 will still be coming to Switch on that day digitally, the physical version will not. NBA 2K18 will hit store shelves on Nintendo’s console sometime this fall.
2K and parent company Take-Two Interactive have not provided a reason for the delay.
2K Sports not offering the WWE 2K18 Collector’s Edition for Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 9 Comments
When WWE 2K18 releases on Switch this fall, it will only be sold as a regular title. 2K Sports unveiled a collector’s edition for the game today, but it does not appear to be planned for the console. The announcement specifically mentions that it “will be available exclusively for PlayStation 4 or Xbox One.”
2K previously announced a Deluxe Edition for WWE 2K18 as well. As far as we know, this will also not be offered on Switch.
The way 2K is handling WWE on Switch comes in contrast to NBA 2K18. With the latter game, Switch is receiving all versions, including both Legend Editions.
