There have been numerous custom-made Switch accessories over the years, but it seems that pinball-style devices are some of the most popular. Japanese creator Far East Pinball has taken a crack at their own design, which you can see in action above.

The device is powered via USB cable, and all you do is slot in the Switch, and then plug a cable into Switch’s Type-C port. After that, you're able to enjoy various pinball games in TATE mode, but with controls that are mimic a pinball machine. The buttons on the side of the device let you use the flippers, and giving the unit a shake lets you tilt the game, just as you could in the arcades.

Far East Pinball is actually selling these devices, but they're currently out of stock. The entire project is a one-man team, so it might take awhile until a few more are up for grabs.

One way or another, someone at Nintendo made a bit of a goof. The Nintendo Versus Twitter account shared a tweet earlier today about an update coming to Splatoon 2 that would offer up "minor adjustments to a variety of weapons." That tweet was then deleted soon thereafter.

We heard awhile back that an update was coming to Splatoon 2 in April, and it seems this tweet was related to that. As to why the tweet was deleted, it's likely the information was sent out earlier than expected. Whatever the case, don't expect this Splatoon 2 update to be anything other than weapon tweaks, as Nintendo has said the game is content-complete as far as updates go.

'The Complex' from Wales Interactive is a FMV game about a viral outbreak, so, you know, ripped from the headlines and all that. This game looks about as good as that Black Mirror episode everyone was so hot about, but might even look a bit better? I was really impressed by how well shot and acted this game (or interactive movie, depending on who you ask) is, and I thought y'all might like to see how it opens for yourself if you're on the fence about trying it.

Can Androids Pray: Blue on Nintendo Switch is the definitive edition of the critically-acclaimed 3D narrative game about two angry femme mech pilots at the end of the world, and God.

Earlier this week, we learned that 8-bit Donkey Kong, Mario, and Luigi Hallmark ornaments are slated to release this year. Turns out that was just the tip of the iceberg, as a whole different wave of ornaments is on the way as well.

First up on July 11th, 2020 are NES and Mario Kart ornaments. The NES ornament lights up and plays sounds from Super Mario Bros., while the Mario Kart ornament features Yoshi. Following those two on Oct. 3rd, 2020 are Pikachu, Poke Ball, and Legend of Zelda ornaments. The Poke Ball ornament is made of metal, and the Pikachu ornament shows of the character in a leaping post. The Legend of Zelda ornament is a replica of the original gold cartridge on the NES. You can check out more details on each ornament in Hallmark's Dreambook 2020 catalog.

Gravilogic's initial Kickstarter for their Switchblade rail covers/kickstands for Switch turned out to be a huge hit, getting fully funded on its first day. Now the team is back to fulfill a fan request for a new color Switchblade.

The company is working on "Project Black Bird," which is a set of Switchblades that are matte black in color. The team says they've had numerous requests for this color, so now they're asking fans to put their money where their mouths are. If Project Black Bird is going to be a success, the team needs 1,050 preorders to move into production. You can preorder a set for $35 here.

Nintendo and Pokemon Co. want to make sure everyone knows about Pokemon Sword and Shield's expansion pass, including those who get their gaming information from print media. That's why they've taken out a full-page ad in the latest issue of Famitsu to promote the paid content. We also get a peek at the download card for the expansion pass in Japan, which is pretty snazzy looking!

Are you working from home due to self quarantine, or just hanging around the house to flatten the curve? SEGA wants to give you something to enjoy while you're hunkering down. That's why they've added a number of their soundtracks to Spotify for your listening pleasure. They say the playlists are for 'telework' and 'relaxation,' but obviously you can enjoy them no matter what you're doing! Check out the playlists here and here.
