“Please wait for further information”.

Fire Emblem Engage has been widely praised at launch, but it seems the day one update may have introduced one minor issue tied to the title’s cooperative multiplayer Relay Trials mode. As highlighted by Nintendo’s official customer support social media account, the gaming giant is aware of player reports and is “currently investigating” the problem.

As explained by Siliconera, the issue occurs when selecting “take over” after “random” in the Relay Trials. When selecting “take over” – it will come up with the current message “no data to take over”. Here’s a rough translation of Nintendo’s customer support tweet:

Nintendo Switch Sports has also been updated.

Mario Strikers: Battle League made its debut on the Nintendo Switch last June and since then it’s received a bunch of free updates – comprised of new characters, levels and even some new features.

Following the release of Version 1.3.0 last month, Nintendo and Next Level Games have now rolled out the next patch. This is a much smaller one – fixing a minor but pesky issue with Rainbow ? Blocks. Here’s the full rundown, courtesy of the official support page:

Will this one stick, precious?

What has it gots in its pocketses, precious? A release date for troubled Lord of the Rings game, Gollum!

Initially announced for Switch in 2020 and aiming at a release in 2021, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is a Daedelic Entertainment-developed stealth-parkour game starring the titular weird gremlin on a quest to chase the One Ring. Unfortunately, it was delayed until 2022, then the Switch version alone was pushed back further as the other versions were slated for September 1st 2022, then all versions were delayed “by a few months” back in July 2022, but without a definitive release date.

Featuring classic ’90s point-and-click gameplay.

If you’ve finished Return to Monkey Island and are simply itching to dive into another point-and-click adventure, then good news, because Tall Story Games’ Lucy Dreaming will be launching on Switch on February 28th, 2023.

Described as a mix of Monkey Island, Monty Python, and Blackadder, the game – which originally launched in October 2022 on Steam and mobile – stars Lucy, who finds herself in the “very British” town of Figgington amidst a decade-long mystery. With visuals that resemble the rather excellent Thimbleweed Park and voice talent including Dominic Armato (Guybrush Threepwood) himself, it definitely looks like one to keep a close eye on.

Fin-ish him.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is probably one of the most popular games for speedrunning. One of the many well-known tricks in the game is that Ruto, the Zora princess you need to rescue from inside Lord Jabu-Jabu’s belly, has a hitbox if you throw her. As you can imagine, this can be used for many different things all the time you have her. But you don’t have her for very long — unless, of course, you hack her in.

That’s exactly what Vidya James, a member of Zeldathon, Randomizer runner, and occasional speedrunner, has done. James wanted to know if you could use the Zora princess to defeat Ganon at the end of the game just by throwing her at him. So he hacked her into the practice ROM of the game. The results, as you might expect, are pretty hilarious. You can watch the results above. Who needs the Master Sword when you can just, y’know, chuck a Zora at someone?

Aren’t we all..?

As we all know by now (we hope), the 3DS and Wii U eShops will unfortunately be shutting down on March 27th, 2023.

This of course means that in just a couple of months time, you’ll no longer be able to purchase or download new games onto your 3DS or Wii U. Until that time, if your Nintendo Account is shared across your Switch, 3DS, and Wii U, you can still add funds up until the closure date, so be sure to mop up any remaining purchases while you still have time.

Where’s Tingle at?

We’re mere months away from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s debut on 12th May. As it is, perhaps, the biggest release on the Nintendo Switch since the console’s launch year way back, we know remarkably little about the follow-up to Breath of the Wild – a game rightly hailed as one of the best ever made. Sure, we’ve gotten three-and-a-half trailers since 2019, but they’ve given us far more questions than answers.

The most recent trailer revealed the spring release date and showed us more of Link’s new adventure. It showed him using a rune ability and gave us a brief shot of our hero gliding on some metal contraption in the air…four months ago. Since then, radio silence from Nintendo.
