Islanders: New Shores Halloween update

A new Islanders: New Shores update has arrived in celebration of Halloween.

The update provides a creepy twist to the otherwise cozy minimalist city builder. It adds the “Halloween” biome, the new Boon called “Replace”, pumpkins, gravestones, and candle variants as Seasons items, a new camera filter, and a new building facade to unlock for the Aviary building, both unlockable via new challenges.

The full rundown is as follows:

A new version 3.1.0 update is now live for Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo.

This is a relatively small update, with no new alarm additions. The Animal Crossing New Horizons clock user interface has been slightly changed for the sake of visibility. And of course, Nintendo’s famous unspecified stability improvements.

Nintendo Today 2.0.10 update

A new update has arrived for Nintendo Today with version 2.0.10. It is now being distributed across all mobile devices.

The update adds functionally so that it’s easer to share news content. This is actually the only new item that’s been included.

The official notice is as follows:

Vampire Survivors online co-op

October 7: Today, Poncle shared first details about a new version 1.14 update for Vampire Survivors, which will add online cooperative play for up to four players. Other elements are planned as well, but further details will be rolled out over time.

Here’s what Poncle said today:

Marvelous has just released another free update for Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion, being the second of the previously announced expansions to the game . The new content should be rolling out now for Nintendo Switch 2 users.

This update brings 2 new bosses, some new cosmetics, and a plethora of bug fixed and adjustments.

You can see the full list of patch notes below:

To celebrate the tenth anniversary of N++, Metanet Software is readying a new “Ten++” update. It will be available soon for the Nintendo Switch version.

The update includes “some super hard super-secret Solo levels, a lot of quite hard multiplayer levels, a bunch of new color schemes, and a few assorted bug fixes.” Metanet teases some stages “are so challenging that it’ll take you ten more years to beat them”.

Splatoon 2 5.5.2 update

A small version 5.5.2 update just went live for Splatoon 2. You can download it now, but it will also be rolling out to those who have automatic updates enabled. 

According to Nintendo, a specific bug has been squashed. This applies to those playing on both Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch together.

ARK Ultimate Survivor Edition Switch 2 update

Today, Studio Wildcard and Grove Street Games announced a major update for ARK: Ultimate Survivor Edition, which focuses on full backward-compatibility and performance enhancements on Nintendo Switch 2.

The patch features smoother gameplay with improved frame rate and higher resolution on the console. That’s along with upgraded shadow quality and anti-aliasing quality.

Pokemon Legends Z-A 1.0.1 update

Pokemon Legends: Z-A is coming with its own day one update, which is version 1.0.1. If you’ve pre-installed the game on either Nintendo Switch 2 or Switch, you should be able to access it already in time for launch this week.

The patch notes are straightforward but ultimately this is a pretty important update. Without it, it sounds like you won’t be able to access online functionality.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker 1.4.1 update

Nintendo has released a small update for Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, and starting today, players can access version 1.4.1. The update is the same for both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
