Posted on September 24, 2018 by Devin in News, Switch, Switch eShop




Two more key installments in the Hasbro series of board games — Risk and Trivial Pursuit Live! — are making their way to the Nintendo Switch on October 30, according to Ubisoft.

With new and exclusive features added to both classic tabletop games, the titles will be available individually through the Switch eShop, or part of the just-announced Hasbro Game Night bundle that will also include the previously released Monopoly for Nintendo Switch. This package will release simultaneously with the digital copies of Risk and Trivial Pursuit Live!.

Ubisoft has released an official statement on the news, as well as a batch of screenshots. Be sure to check out all of the materials below.


Nintendo Switch owners looking to scratch a board-game itch will have new options this fall, when the Risk and Trivial Pursuit Live! videogames arrive on the platform as digital downloads with exclusive new features. Both games will also be available as part of the Hasbro Game Night for Nintendo Switch compilation, along with Monopoly for Nintendo Switch, already available as a standalone.

Trivial Pursuit Live! lets players compete in teams in Versus Mode and with up to three friends in local multi console, and features 1,800 up-to-date questions (including 650 kid-friendly family questions). Risk, meanwhile, boasts improved pacing and a new top view. Both games feature new graphical, UI, and online enhancements, as well as touchscreen features exclusive to the Nintendo Switch versions.

Risk, Trivial Pursuit Live!, and Hasbro Game Night for Nintendo Switch launch on Nintendo Switch on October 30.

Nintendo Switch Online cloud saves can be recovered up to six months after subscription ends
Posted on September 25, 2018 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch




One of the main features of Nintendo Switch Online is the ability to upload all of your save data to the cloud. However, there’s been some concern about what happens to those saves after your subscription ends.

As a reminder, Nintendo’s official FAQ has stated:


“Save data stored with Save Data Cloud cannot be kept outside of the duration of your Nintendo Switch Online membership,” suggesting cloud saves would be lost forever should a subscription lapse for any reason. While their is a timer on how long players will have to resubscribe, and players won’t be able to access those saves without a subscription, Nintendo’s clarified policy does give players 180 days to resubscribe and regain their saves.

The good news is that this FAQ shouldn’t be taken entirely at face value. IGN reached out to Nintendo directly, and received confirmation that cloud saves can be recovered up to six months after a subscription ends.

Nintendo told IGN the following:

“If a Nintendo Switch Online membership expires, users won’t be able to access their Save Data Cloud backups. However, Nintendo will allow users who resubscribe within 180 days to access their previous Save Data Cloud backups.”

Pokemon – Meltan official announcement, screenshots and art
Posted on September 25, 2018 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Screenshots, Switch




The Pokemon Company has passed along an official announcement for the new Pokemon Meltan. Find the full PR, along with a few images showing screenshots and art.


The Pokémon Company International, Niantic, Inc., and Nintendo announced today that a new Mythical Pokémon has been discovered in the world of Pokémon GO: Meltan!

Meltan is a Steel-type Pokémon with a body made mostly of liquid metal, which makes its shape very fluid. This Pokémon can use its liquid arms and legs to corrode metal and absorb it into its body. Meltan can generate electricity using the metal it absorbs from outside sources. It uses this electricity as an energy source and for an attack it fires from its eye.

Name: Meltan
Category: Hex Nut Pokémon
Height: 0’08”
Weight: 17.6 lbs.
Type: Steel

In Pokémon GO, sightings of Ditto that have transformed into Meltan have been reported. Professor Oak and Professor Willow have started research on Meltan. Professor Oak, one of the leading authorities in the field of Pokémon research, is based in the Kanto region’s Pallet Town. In Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!, he gives a Pokédex to both you and your rival—entrusting you with his dream of completing it. Meanwhile, with the help of Pokémon GO players around the world, Professor Willow conducts his research in the field to fully understand the habitats and distribution of Pokémon. He was once an assistant to Professor Oak, and he talks to Oak, his mentor, whenever he runs into a hitch in his research.

It has been determined that Pokémon GO is somehow key to meeting Meltan in Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! Updates will be provided as more is discovered about this mysterious Mythical Pokémon.

Nintendo literally took 2 weeks after the subscription service launched to finally state that their cloud save recovery policy is exactly the same as PS Plus's 6 month-cloud save recovery policy.........................

Nintendo enjoys torturing their fans
