Nintendo plans to avoid a shortage of a new gaming device

Stardew Valley developer Eric Barone, also known as "ConcernedApe," has announced on his Twitter account (X) that the 1.6 update will be larger than originally planned. The developer said that the update is currently undergoing bug fixes and "polishing", potentially indicating that the release date is closer than expected.

But not OLED.

F-Zero 99, a multiplayer simulator available to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, has been regularly updated with new content and modes since its release in September 2023. The latest update introduces a new feature that allows players to create private lobbies and compete with their friends instead of joining random online matches.

Despite the critical response from players to the launch of Overwatch 2 (1.5 out of 10 on Metacritic) and the fact that Blizzard cancelled plans to release Heroes Mode and PvE, it seems that Overwatch 2 has become a successful project for the studio - according to the profile of Sam Saliba, former vice president and head of global marketing at Activision Blizzard, the number of active players in the game is more than 50 million.

WhisperGames has announced a collaboration with Nameless Sword Studio to create an exciting new role-playing game for PC and Nintendo Switch - The Nameless: Slay Drago. The project is due to be released in the second quarter of 2024 for the "people's platform", and the version for Nintendo's console should appear "later".

In recent years, Atlus has released a number of titles for the Nintendo Switch, including Shin Megami Tensei 5, Persona 5 Reload, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 3 Portable. Therefore, when Persona 3 Reload and Metaphor: ReFantazio were not announced for Nintendo's Switch last year, many people were upset, but it looks like the game may be coming to the Switch's successor.

In 2019, Phoenix Wright was reissued: Ace Attorney Trilogy, The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, which came out in the West a few years later, and later this week Apollo Justice will be released: Ace Attorney Trilogy, but despite the fact that there's no shortage of Ace Attorney re-releases, the last time we got a new game in the series was back in 2016 with Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice.

Last year, a remake of Persona - Persona 3 Reload - was announced, which will be available on all current platforms except Nintendo Switch. The fact that the game is not available on the Japanese handheld, which already has a bunch of Atlus games, upset many fans, although the developers say that porting the game to Switch is not a priority, although "the idea is there".

According to many leaks, Nintendo Switch 2 is due to be presented in the second half of 2024, and considering the fact that the original Switch will soon turn 8 years old, it's hard not to believe it. Of course, if there is not much time left before the Switch's successor is unveiled, it is logical to assume that at least some developers have already received development kits to create games for the new platform - and judging by the GDC Survey, this is the case.

Since the release of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has been out for two days now, and traditionally, Ubisoft has published a trailer for the game with positive reviews from critics:

Nintendo has published a new trailer for Mario vs. Donkey Kong, which will be released next month. The video tells the story of the game: Donkey Kong wants to have mini-Marios, but they are sold out. Then he decides to steal them from the Mario factory, but Mario follows him:
