New development information has come to light about Pokemon Pokopia, revealing that it was originally envisioned as a Nintendo Switch 1 game. Just like we’ve seen from other Pokemon leaks over the past few days, the details are coming from the Game Freak “Teraleak”.
The project first began in 2021 with the codename Oasis. At this point, Pokemon Pokopia was slated for Nintendo Switch 1. However, this isn’t the only piece of interesting information about the game’s history.

Tying in with the launch of Nintendo Switch 2, we’ve put together a complete list of games that support GameShare. We’ll be updating this post over time as well.
GameShare is brand new for Nintendo Switch 2. With the feature, select titles allow you to play with others even if they don’t own a copy of the game. Even more interesting, you can share games locally with those that have the original Nintendo Switch. It’s possible to link up with up to three other systems at a time. We’ll also mention that GameShare supports online play with other Nintendo Switch 2 systems.

As more information comes online through a previous Game Freak hack, we now have insight into some behind-the-scenes happenings at the studio, including why Junichi Masuda is no longer directing Pokemon games.
You may recall that in 2018, Masuda indicated he was pretty much done with the role following Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu and Eevee. That has largely been the case – with Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl as exceptions.

Thousands of games are currently available on Switch, and there are a ton of demos out there for many of them. Not just Nintendo, but also third-parties are offering demos. We’ve now put together a comprehensive list of what’s out there.
Since our reader base is English-speaking, that’s what we’re focusing on here. In other words, we’re highlighting Switch demos that you can find in North America and Europe. Japan has a few extra demos on its end, but a majority of them are for titles that are not currently being sold in the west and are only playable in Japanese.
[Let’s Talk] Do you use Nintendo Today?
Posted on 3 days ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Mobile | 0 comments
Earlier in the year, Nintendo Today was announced and released. This is Nintendo’s own app intended to keep fans in the know about various happenings with the company. More recently, some pretty important news has even be shared there before it’s delivered elsewhere. We’ve seen things like Nintendo Directs announced there first, and this week, that’s where the “Close to You” videos debuted.
Nintendo is clearly trying to do what it can to incentivize fans to check out the Nintendo Today app. In fact, the second “Close to You” video has still yet to appear on Nintendo’s own YouTube channels (though we did upload it here). Still, it seems like there hasn’t been a whole lot of interest in the app.
So what are your thoughts on Nintendo Today? Have you downloaded it / used it at all? Let us know in the comments.
