Nintendo Labo is invading Smash Bros. Ultimate! The 'Nintendo Labo Smash Kit' Smash Bros. Ultimate Spirit Board event has been announced, and is taking over this coming Friday. When you encounter a Labo spirit, defeating it will earn you three times the normal amount of experience.
There are likely many who recall the child-like phrase that is “secret base.” Ninja Box, a brand new project from Bandai Namco Entertainment, is a game where you build your very own “secret base”—the only secret base of its kind—whether it is a “relaxing space” filled with only your favorite things, or a “giant fortress” big enough to get lost in.
The latest episode of the Cat Mario Show is now available. This episode takes a look at Nintendo Labo's VR Kit, BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL!, and Trials Rising.
New playable characters are heading to Mario Tennis Aces! Dry Bones will join the roster in May!
Looks like Nintendo had some tidying up to do with the Switch's most recent firmware update. A revising of that update is now available, bringing the game to Version 8.0.1.. This update only has one line of patch notes, stating that it adds "general system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience."
Bloomberg has chimed in with their own information on the rumored Switch redesigns on the way. As usual, this is all just rumor and speculation until Nintendo themselves confirm the news. Here's what Bloomberg had to say, with their info coming from two people familiar with the matter who requested anonymity to discuss private plans.
- the new, cheaper Switch will likely be launched by the end of June
- the existing Switch will receive a modest upgrade this year
- a more powerful version is not in the works

If you quit in the middle of a match in Mortal Kombat 11, you earn your opponent a Quitality. Your character ends up exploding into a fountain of blood, and your opponent wins the match. It's a nice touch for the players who stick around, and a bit of shame for those who rage-quit.

Five Nights at Freddy's should be making its way to Switch sometime this year, and today we get our first look at the game running in tabletop mode. I've never played a single FNAF game, so this is going to be perfect for me! How many of you are jumping in for the first time, or plan to double-dip?
Not surprisingly, Image & Form continues to make magic with their SteamWorld series. SteamWorld Quest is a wonderful experience top to bottom.
