@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.
"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."
@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.
@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.
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"
@Kilamanjaro I don't think we've got one, but we could probably come up with a guide or something in time for the launch of Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light. I'll pass it on!
@Tharsman Nintendo of America shared this tweet yesterday:

“Swedish Alex” and “Scottish Steve” were added to Minecraft as a reference to the locations of Mojang Studios and 4J Studios. These alts appear in Smash.

@AnnoyingFrenzy Yes, it's Fates not Awakening! That figure (2.94 mil) was as of December 2018, it's now around 3 mil.

Re: Sega's Sonic Double Packs Are Out Now On Nintendo Switch
@Multi @Zeeeus The PR we received didn't say if it was cartridge or code. I'm guessing they both include game cards.

Re: Nintendo Is Releasing Three Switch Bundles In Japan Next Month
@HeadPirate Are you sure about that? This includes the game, a themed pro controller and a one month NSO sub.
I've looked high and low and can only see history of the pro controller being offered as a standalone product.
Re: Nintendo Is Releasing Three Switch Bundles In Japan Next Month

This applied to both Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 and Crash Bandicoot 4.

@AtlanteanMan Sorry if you feel that way, but it's also the 20th anniversary of SoA. That's kind of big!
