Massively popular battle royale game Fortnite is now available on the Nintendo Switch, and some frustrating news for PS4 users aside, it's a pretty exciting arrival. The game brings the full Fortnite experience, including fort building, of course, but some have expressed concerns over the quality. Turns out, it's not so bad.
Nintendo has been going hard at E3 the past couple of years, kicking things off with a special Direct presentation the leads directly into three days of livestreams. These Treehouse livestreams, as Nintendo calls them, are day-long affairs, giving the company plenty of time to take deep dives into previously announced titles and even reveal a few new ones. Unfortunately, throughout Nintendo's entire E3 2018 presentation this year, the 3DS was really nowhere to be found.
Nintendo is traditionally seen as a slow-moving company, slow to change and slow to jump on new trends. The Nintendo Switch is probably the most radical move it made in years and now it's making yet another one. Nintendo is having a sale for digital Switch and 3DS games. Admittedly it's not a huge list with huge discounts but, considering how rare this happens, you might want to grab a title or two if you were planning on buying them anyway.
A pair of classic games are heading to the Nintendo Switch: Sky Skipper and the original Donkey Kong. These two arcade games have never before been released (officially, at least) for home consoles, making the addition a rare treat for classic game aficionados. Nintendo announced the launch plans earlier today during an E3 event.
It's Thursday, and that means it's time for another weekly update to the Nintendo eShop. This is a pretty big week, all told, thanks to a number of announcements at E3 2018. In fact, in a departure from the way things usually work over at Nintendo HQ, the company is highlighting many games today that are already available on the eShop.
With the extended gameplay trailers it debuted for titles like The Last of Us Part 2, Ghost of Tsushima, and Marvel's Spider-Man, Sony had arguably one of the best press conferences of E3 2018. While it would absolutely prefer that folks talk about how much they're looking forward to those games, the general public is instead talking about one thing and one thing only: Fortnite. Specifically, people are talking about how you can't use your Epic Games account in the freshly-launched Nintendo Switch version if you already used it to play Fortnite on PS4.
The upcoming Mario Tennis Aces game is getting a pair of new playable characters, Nintendo has announced. Even better, the company promises they'll be totally free for players to download starting this summer. The catch? You have to earn them if you want to be one of the first people to download, otherwise you'll have to wait until later this year.
Classic hit Grim Fandango was remastered in the relatively recent past and is currently available for PlayStation 4, Android, iOS, and some other platforms. Double Fine Productions, the developer behind the game, announced this week that the remastered version of the game will also soon be available for Nintendo Switch.
8Bitdo has launched multiple new Bluetooth controllers for the Nintendo Switch, all of them with retro designs mimicking the SNES, Game Boy, and more. The smallest and most adorable of the bunch is the Zero 2, a tiny controller about the same width as a Game Boy; you can put it on a keychain and use it whenever you need a wireless gamepad.
There's a bit of a disconnect between the PlayStation 4 and the Nintendo Switch when it comes to Fortnite. It became apparent rather quickly after Fortnite for Nintendo Switch was turned ON this week that something was amiss. While cross-play and player progression between platforms is largely available for Fortnite on MOST platforms, those that've ever played on PS4 cannot use their account on the Nintendo Switch. And Fortnite players aren't very happy about it.
As we were expecting, Nintendo touched on Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee today during its E3 2018 showcase. We didn't learn very many new things about the games, with Reggie Fils-Aime essentially taking us through a recap of what was announced a few weeks ago. However, he did make a rather big announcement by revealing that Mew is going to come with every Poke Ball Plus accessory.
