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

I've updated the headline for this article, just to play it safe.

If he's not working on Metroid Prime 4, I'm looking forward to some sweet lighting effects in the new Donkey Kong game!

I've added in a poll, so please vote!

I've updated this story.

@the4seer It's industry news. Epic Games also makes Fortnite and the Unreal Engine - both of which are on the Nintendo Switch.

@NerdyBoutKirby I just checked after updating to Version 12.0.0 and it said the controllers were already up to date - so I guess not.

@Broosh It would be nice if it was August, we'd be so close to actually playing the game now.

The broadcast is taking place on 8th April - that's this week.

Just updated this again - Sol Cresta was rated today in South Korea.

I've updated this post with the English announcement trailer.

@Dezzy I believe so.

@KayFiOS As noted in the press release:

This Pikmin game will be "the first in a series of apps that the two companies will develop together". So it seems there are more Nintendo-themed apps on the way from Niantic. And that's why the poll is focused on Niantic.

We could have included every Nintendo IP under the sun in this poll, but I've narrowed it down to the top Nintendo franchises and a few others that are relevant to this current generation.

For series like Nintendogs (which we haven't seen since 2011), F-Zero, EarthBound etc - select the "other Nintendo IP" option.

@Chibi_Manny No prob, updated!

@BenAV Thanks, I've updated the article with this information.

@VoidofLight I went with "EarthBound" in the headline because that name is more widely known in the west. There was also Earthbound Beginnings, which is the first Mother game.

@Jooles_95 Yep, I'm pretty sure it includes the UK. I believe "Australia" also includes New Zealand.

@Wilforce Yes, it's in celebration of MAR10 Day.

@Entrr_username Those games were locked in for PlayStation before this deal went through and both are timed exclusives.

@Rockman55 Yep, this seems to be the case. I've updated the article to reflect this.

I must admit, it's still funny how it lines up with Nintendo's removal dates.

@1ofUs They'll be up in a bit, they just went live.

@basswitch @tonyp1987 I was thinking about adding one, but I'm still not sure. I feel like it might be too soon.

The game isn't out until July, and I think it would be better to gauge how everyone is feeling (and which control style they'll be using) around then when we presumably know more about the Switch version.

If the above post isn't updated with a poll, at some point closer to release we'll likely run one (maybe more).

@BloodNinja I always appreciate getting approved by a ninja, so thanks!

This was an article I thought might be of interest to the community.

To my knowledge, this is the first time in the history of the Pokemon series that Game Freak hasn't handled a mainline remake.

ILCA isn't exactly a household name (compared to certain other developers and publishers), so hopefully, this particular release makes everyone a little more familiar with the studio.

As mentioned by @VoidofLight, we have no official affiliation with Nintendo. Nintendo Life is a partner of the Gamer Network and has sister sites like Pure Xbox and Push Square.

Whenever we work with a publisher or developer or have any correspondence with them, we normally mention it in the text.

@Absol Yes, just to clarify, I updated the post after reading the comment by @Markiemania95. Made a good point!

@Carnictis I'm glad you could join us, old ball.

@TheFox Oops, that was actually the year when the original Black & White game was released on PC. Fixed!

@Friendly Post is already up!

@ukaskew @OnlyItsMeReid This is a teaser of episode seven:

"Rest your eyes on this brand new clip from the seventh episode of Marvel Studios’ “WandaVision,”"

And the episode is out now (just watched it myself).

@Zequio The Malcom in the Middle episode was last week (episode six).

@bobzbulder Nintendo refers to it as "Swapnote Remastered" in the official patch notes.

@gaga64 Push Square spoke to the Crash 4 team because an upgraded version is headed to the PS5.

We got them to ask about the Switch version's performance and published the response here on Nintendo Life.

Check our previous Crash 4 story for more info about this.

@PhhhCough I've updated it to avoid any further confusion.

@TDRsuperstar2 To clarify, Eurogamer said that.

Basically, the devs are focused on the "existing consoles" they've already announced the Legendary Edition for - for now.

@NEStalgia Capcom's PR / socials never really clarified (to my knowledge), but as you've stated it looks like you'll still be able to play the demo - depending on the number of quests you have left.

I'll update the post.

@Knuckles I believe this is artwork from Sonic Generations, a game Roger is credited for. But fair point, I'll change the image if I can find something better.

@calbeau Haha, correct. Talk about confusing!

@DavidMac Oops, in the words of the creator:

"Comfy bed: Your bed got just a bit cozier. You can choose to sleep until any time like normally in a bed, but you also now have the option to sleep extra long to regain 3 bonus hearts."

@Snatcher Thanks for the tip! I've updated the story.

@Maxz Thanks, I've updated the article to reflect this.

@Toy_Link Oops, I meant its more "recent" history.

@andyg1412 Noted! I'll pass this on.

@Bizaster Yeah, I guess we can run a reminder.

I've updated this article - the focus is now on Bowser's Fury.

@TheLightSpirit It was delayed last October. The producer previously said some "exciting updates" would be shared this Spring and the game is expected to be released at some point this year.

@COVIDberry Oops, a funny mistake... fixed!

@idork99 They were titles that launched alongside the Switch release, I believe:

• Waku Waku 7
• Shock Troopers
• World Heroes Perfect
• Metal Slug 3
• King of Fighters '98

@TheSmashTheorist There is no mention of it requiring an NSO subscription. As far as I know, it's a standalone app that you'll download for free from the Switch eShop (much like YouTube and other apps).

As for the costs, it's got a free and paid model. I just booted up an episode of Ace Attorney (the anime) on the Funimation website and watched a bit of it, it had ads, but I didn't even have to log in. With the app, you might have to register an account before you can use it.

Personally, I use the Crunchyroll app on all my devices - not sure what will happen to that though now that it has been bought by Funimation (Sony).

Update: As @Bendy mentioned, it seems you need an account and a subscription to use the Switch version of the app.

@HotGoomba___Rebrand Oops, just pretend you didn't see that!

@Juga Thanks, I've added this in.

@Thegaminggeek I've added this in.

@geozel Credit to @ralphdibny - gave @dartmonkey the heads up.

@Ooyah Thanks, I'm glad you gave me the heads up.

@Tsusasi Zion got an extra special box. If anyone is interested:

In the above story, it was just the Golden Harvest Edition by itself. And as noted: "no items were of biosecurity concern were identified and no goods were removed"
