It’s the “perfect time to catch up”.

Capcom launched Dragon’s Dogma 2 this week, and if you’re craving a similar fix on the Nintendo Switch we thought now was a great time to let you know that Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen is actually on sale via the eShop across multiple regions.

It reduces the title from $29.99 / £24.99 to just $4.99 / £4.24, which is more than 80% off its standard price. There’s just a day remaining on this sale in the UK, with the sale ending in the US on March 26th. So, if you haven’t already played this title, or would like to revisit it on Nintendo’s hybrid system, now is the “perfect time”.

He knows how “important” the series is to fans.

Hollywood is adapting Nintendo’s Legend of Zelda series into a live-action movie and while there’s plenty of excitement about the upcoming film there’s also some concern.

With this in mind, the film’s director Wes Ball (known for the Maze Runner trilogy) has told Total Film how he understands just how “important” the Zelda franchise is to fans and aims to “fulfil people’s greatest desires”.

Nintendo’s Switch has become home to an almost overwhelming number of fantastic games since launching back in 2017. A great deal of them have appeared on other platforms — whether celebrated indie titles or huge AAA releases getting a second wind on Nintendo’s handheld hybrid — but the console is also home to a clutch of brilliant exclusive titles.

New special missions now available.

Following an update to the mobile runner Super Mario Run last week (bumping the game up to Version 3.2.0), Nintendo has now officially announced a new Princess Peach: Showtime! event for the title.

MORE!

In the last seven years, the bounty of software that has come to Switch is really remarkable. You might argue that, in fact, there’s too much great stuff being released — too much to be able to play everything you’d like, at least.

According to a site construction notice.

Back in 2021, Nintendo announced that it was building a museum-style facility, then called the “Nintendo Gallery”, on the site of its Uji Ogura Plant in Kyoto, with expectations that construction would be finished in March 2024. The building work on the site — since given the official title Nintendo Museum — looked to be on course from the outside, but it seems the museum will miss its target completion date by a month or so.

The construction notice displayed at the site, as captured below by @hanayohaneNEKO on Twitter (thanks, Kyotogamer), now lists the completion date as 30th April. It’s unclear how long this notice update has been up, but it does appear that the museum won’t quite be ready for the end of March.

Crystal clear.

If you can believe it (and, to be honest, we can’t) it has been a whopping 15 years since Pokémon Platinum first arrived on Western shores. It has been a decade and a half since we first met Giratina and co. A decade and a half since we stepped foot in the Distortion World. And, most importantly perhaps, a decade and a half since we last got an ‘ultimate’ third entry to a Pokémon generation.

We’ll dowse ourselves in Repel Spray before taking a step further — yes, you could count Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon as a ‘definitive’ edition for Gen VII. In fact, we might even do the same. This is a pair of games that carried much of the same DNA as the ones that came before them (Sun and Moon, in this case) while adding new Pokémon, locations, and a fresh storyline. Sounds pretty ‘ultimate’ to us.
