@Coolmusic This information was direct from the PR, the official website does mention 1st September though (might be some timezone/regional differences with the release).

FYI: I updated the tagline to mention where it's available. This was meant to be in there! Our FB post did originally note this.

For anyone interested, you can see a photo of this physical release in the link below:

@chagrined Yes - there were seven units in the west, as noted by the source. Update: The source has now updated the total to 10 - so it seems to be factoring in Japan's contest as well: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/labo/contest/index.html

I've still got some of the original PRs in my inbox and Nintendo gave out three of these units in AUNZ. We did cover it at the time (you left a comment, I see): https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/10/australia_and_new_zealand_nintendo_labo_contest_winners_include_life-size_master_cycle_zero_and_toy-con_marionette

3 in AU
3 in EU - https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/09/europe_nintendo_labo_contest_winners_include_glow_in_the_dark_luigis_mansion_and_alien_game 2 x Spain winner, 1 x France winner (three categories - creation, customisation and kids)
2 in US - "2 Grand Prize winners will each receive one (1) collectible Nintendo Switch system"
3 in Japan

So now the number is at 11, going down a rabbit hole here...

@Pak-Man Yeah, just to clarify... you don't actually eat your Pokémon in this!

@FiveDigitLP Yep, as mentioned further down - I don't have a history of using sleep apps. I think if you can get your hands on a Pokémon GO Plus + device, it might be a better option than using your phone.

@meatmobile Preload is out on the 14th - so it may not be available in certain locations just yet, but it is in other regions.

@Greatluigi Jeffrey Rath (OG link in CD-i Zelda cutscenes) is back.

@JJtheTexan Yes, to confirm this is a release date announcement.

@samuelvictor Yes, to clarify we gave the DLC six out of ten stars and the original game release got eight out of ten stars when it arrived last June.

@Dm9982 As noted by our sister site Time Extension, Good-Feel was founded by Etsunobu Ebisu. He previously worked at Konami and was one of the key people behind the Goemon series.

Ebisumaru in Goemon is also inspired by him.

FYI: I've updated the headline and tagline to clarify the order of events here.

@Beetlebum91 The removal of the Mythril Shop is part of a patch for existing physical and digital owners.

@Thomystic That's according to the source, ET.

@GrailUK Ubisoft Montpellier (Rayman Legends).

@RR529 A lot of early copies seem to be coming from Best Buy, and some referenced receiving their "pre-order" early (didn't actually mention the retailer). At this rate, it seems like you won't have to wait much longer.

@Markiemania95 Yeah, NoA's socials were playing catch up. The post has been updated with all the US information now.

@Zach777 Here's what Ed Boon had to say about MK1 in a recent live stream (via PCGamesN):

“Mortal Kombat 1 is the beginning of a universe. It is not a continuation of the Mortal Kombat 11 story so the characters have completely different roles in this new timeline and we really wanted to emphasize that with our title.

“This is Mortal Kombat 1, it’s a brand new beginning, you’re going to be seeing these characters reintroduced with new roles, new relationships, and that’s the main catalyst for it.”

I've updated the tagline to make it clear that the mechanic in this game isn't tied to real money transactions.

We've also had some readers asking us not to reveal TotK spoilers in headlines, so that's why there's no mention (or lead image) of a "giant gacha machine" in this case.

@InTree Yeah, Veronica hasn't officially said anything yet as far as I know, but her name does appear in the credits. And as noted here, it's obvious the minute you hear Andy speak.

@KaiserGX From Joe Merrick of Serebii.net (via Twitter):

"Unsure if this Scarlet & Violet patch fixes the save bug, seeing as how rare and impossible to duplicate it is. However, Nintendo is now fixing saves affected so we'll see."

https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2023/03/pokemon-scarlet-and-violet-version-1-2-0-bug-supposedly-corrupting-save-files

@Pennilein69 According to Deadline "Austria".

@PosterBoy It's just some context for anyone who isn't familiar with Tencent. Although it's big and has been around for a long time, it's not exactly widely known in the west like Sega is.

@AG_Awesome $19.99 USD for the Amalur expansion.

@Kiz3000 Whoops, I had my mind on Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire (also sixth-gen). Fixed!

@Kyloctopus Thanks, I've added this to the post.

@rjejr Thanks, I've added a note about this at the top of the page.

@anoyonmus Could be... or maybe it is a similar situation to this:

https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2023/01/nintendo-switch-online-game-vouchers-might-be-returning-to-north-america

@anoyonmus It seems the page has been updated, fortunately we got the screen capture above while it was live.

@Max_the_German I'm sure Switch sales have increased over the holiday period, but we're going off Nintendo's most recent update (As of September 30, 2022):

https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/finance/hard_soft/index.html

@grovertheblue The only thing CDPR has officially confirmed for Switch at this stage is the Netflix DLC.

As @WallyWest said, Switch might get some QoL stuff. This could include the "camera, controls and UI changes" along with some fixes.

@Maxz Somehow I got this part mixed up. My bad! Just to clarify, this feature will still work even if you have the game's autosave function set to OFF. Updated the post to reflect this.

@FishyS Uh-oh... I've added them in now. There are so many nowadays!

@Serpenterror Apparently it was intentional. Here's what the game's main planner said about it (via Gematsu):

What’s the origin of the title’s name, The Rumble Fish?

Oomori: “If you put two Rumble Fish in one tank, they’ll fight until one of them dies–until it’s torn to shreds. I thought that was interesting. And they’re so beautiful. They have this striking beauty to them, but also an extremely aggressive nature. And I believe we talked about the breaking parts system. The way they tear each other up was an inspiration for that.”

Updated with some fine print about HOME:

"Support for Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet is expected to be added to Pokémon HOME after the games' release. Please wait for more details to come in future announcements."

@Bayjax Yes, we added it in at the last minute, but it might not be seen by everyone - so that's why we've run a standalone story.

@Coolmusic I've added this to the article.

@Andy_Witmyer Yes, as mentioned at the bottom of the round up - Nintendo Life will be reviewing it soon. It will hopefully be out at some point next week.

@Divide_and_Wander We should have some NMS exclusives coming next week - so be on the lookout!

@Chocobo_Shepherd @ThePizzaCheese According to Serenes Forest, the twin brother's name is tentative. So that's why the name was left out of the tagline. I've updated the post to reflect this.

https://serenesforest.net/2022/09/23/fire-emblem-engage-cramme-tidbits-via-twitter/

I've also seen the official FE account and other websites referring to him as 'Clan' (source: Perfectly-Nintendo). We might just have to wait for an official western reveal at this stage to find out the final name. Localisation might also mean it's different.

@Olmectron Oops, just to clarify motion controls aren't included, as mentioned on the official website: https://stores.horiusa.com/split-pad-compact-light-gray-yellow-for-nintendo-switch/

@Vil Ah, right! I've seen some comments elsewhere asking about a Wii version. Pretty sure they were serious. 😂

@Vil The last entry released on Wii was Just Dance 2020.

This latest one (Just Dance 2023 Edition) will be the third entry that hasn't been released on Wii.

@MatoFilipovic For added context, that was how it was introduced in the show (Disney basically just referencing some older games it's recently re-released). I've updated this though to avoid any further confusion. It was referred to as "Gargoyles Remastered" during the broadcast, that's about all we know.

@Fighting_Game_Loser Oh, forgot to mention you can listen to the full song on One Ok Rock's YouTube channel:

https://youtu.be/5U1jO4KL60Y

@Vyacheslav333 Our JoJo review should be live early next week.

@sixrings To clarify, this is all that was in the PR about multiplayer:

"Gamers from all ages will enjoy the fast-paced and accessible gameplay supporting online and local multiplayer modes"

Guess we'll learn more at a later date.

@sixrings Local and online multiplayer has been confirmed.

@Nua They'll be about the equivalent of $40 USD.

@locky-mavo You might be interested in reading this (I'd definitely nominate this guy for 1080):

https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2021/05/1080d_snowboarding_creator_would_be_happy_to_bring_the_series_to_switch

@Kermit1 Thanks, I've updated the story to mention Hori's device.

@TowaHerschel7 Yep, to clarify this is Japan only. Though, as mentioned above - the cap Pikachu promo has been run before. As also noted in the article, the other codes are for Japan but fortunately we're able to redeem them locally.

@Anti-Matter Megalovania has also been featured in games like Taiko no Tatsujin. Great song!

@Fizza It's not a free-to-play title. On the official Nintendo website, it's priced at $44.99 / £39.99.
