Switch News

It is almost March 3rd, but thanks to Nintendo of Canada, we have had the opportunity to pay around with it, 1-2-Switch, and the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild over a week early. While we are not allowed to publish scores and final thoughts, a number of things have surfaced for me - positives and negatives - that I will discuss over a series of articles.

Lego City Undercover is one of my favorite games on the Wii U. The game is a lot of fun. It was also an exclusive game for the system for a long time. But soon, non-Wii U players will get a chance to check out the game. Lego City Undercover will be coming to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in April. We have a new trailer for the game below and more details about the multiplatform…

Nintendo announced today that the eshop would be available at the launch of their new system: the Switch! Not only that, but there will be some Indie games on day 1 too. We have a press release below detailing what will and won’t be available on the Switch eshop’s first day! I remember when the 3DS came out and there was no online store. It was a few months before the Nintendo eshop appeared on the system. The Nintendo Switch,…

The Nintendo Switch is almost here! Many game review sites have a Switch, but can’t do an unboxing of the system yet. However, Nintendo Minute, Nintendo of America’s official youtube show, did an unboxing today! Take a look at this video and then please come back for my thoughts on it. The Nintendo Switch looks amazing in this video. I’ve seen other videos with the system, but I never realized just how small and sleek the system was before. The…

The lack of chatter about 1-2-Switch is something I've been thinking about over the last couple days. As more and more media sources get their Nintendo Switch units in the mail, I'm noticing that when they unbox their package from Nintendo they contain a lot of things: Zelda amiibo, Switch accessories, a system, and always a copy of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. One thing I'm not seeing - highlighted for me by GameXplains latest video - is a lack of a copy of 1-2-Switch. Are media outelts getting this to review as well?

Nintendo doesn’t always go to the Game Developers Conference in March. In fact, they have skipped the event a few times. This year, though, Nintendo has a big new system and a big new game coming out in March! Nintendo will be at GDC in March to talk about The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. GDC, the Game Developers Conference, will be held in March. Nintendo will be there on March 1 and hold a Legend of Zelda:…

Splatoon on the Wii U got a special demo before it came out. The demo was called a “Global Testfire” and was to test out Splatoon’s online. Nintendo brought back this demo a couple of times after the game was out even! And now, Nintendo Switch will be getting a Global Testfire for Splatoon 2 in March. Splatoon 2 for Nintendo Switch will be getting a Global Testfire demo in March. Check out Nintendo’s press release about the demo below:…

Like the Twilight Princess, Breath of the Wild will see a release on both the old Nintendo home console platform (Wii U) and their upcoming system, the Nintendo Switch. Deciding which version to play ultimately depends on whether you can 1) wait until you pick up a Nintendo Switch, or 2) if you buy a Nintendo Switch on day one. After seeing hours of in game footage, Breath of the Wild appears to be the gold standard for Zelda titles, meaning if you are a true fan, you will probably want to play it on day one.
