@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):
@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.
@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.”
"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."
@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.
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.
@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.
@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.
@Royalblues I've updated the DBFZ part to clarify this. I guess Dragon Ball players might still be interested to know this is being added to other versions of the game.
@zen1990 To clarify, it's Switch OLED trailers that have recently been taken down in certain regions (not Lite). The Switch OLED trailer has been up for roughly a year, so Kit's thoughts about it possibly being linked to licensing make sense.
@OFFICIALMichi Sonic Mania runs at 60fps on Switch, so the collection should be the same. John Linneman of Digital Foundry has also backed this up on social media.
I think the "only" part of that quote (see comments from @samuelvictor) is in reference to 4K for the PlayStation and Xbox versions.
"If you head over to websites like eBay, you'll see this minifig is being listed for hundreds of dollars. It's being bid on for lower prices but is still going for a reasonable sum, which is not what you really want to see with a brand new product like this."
Update: I've added in an extra line to clarify this.
@topher6490 Thanks, I'll update the story with this.
@Specter_of-the_OLED As noted in the article, this is a Switch port. The game has been out on PlayStation and other platforms since October 2021. And as mentioned in the PR, this version will include everything the other versions have, just not this upcoming fighter DLC.

Re: CD Projekt Red Showcases Witcher 3 Free Netflix DLC Update, Out December 14th
@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.

Re: Ubisoft Announces Just Dance 2023 Edition, Out On Switch This November
@Vil Ah, right! I've seen some comments elsewhere asking about a Wii version. Pretty sure they were serious. 😂
Re: Ubisoft Announces Just Dance 2023 Edition, Out On Switch This November
@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.
