Paw Paw Paw was a peaceful and prosperous kingdom until one fateful day, when the King had decided to enforce everyone to wear pants.
Nintendo has already shared a few guidelines for keeping your Switch clean, but over in Japan they've released a round of updated suggestions. If you're looking to keep your Switch germ-free, here's the steps Nintendo suggests taking.
- do not use alcohol made for uses other than disinfection, such as fuel, as it may damage the device
- do not immerse the device or apply the antiseptic solution directly, as the device may break if liquids enter its inside
- make sure the device has been thoroughly dried after disinfection before using it
People are lining up outside stores to snag a PS5 or Xbox Series X/S, but it's increasingly looking like Switch is going to wear the crown of hottest holiday item.
While we don't have exact sales numbers, we can easily see that the Switch is selling out everywhere in the states. That's not just the special Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle, but all versions of the system. Nintendo had sent millions of units to stores in advance of the holidays, and somehow it seems just about all of them have been gobbled up. This is even more impressive when you learn Nintendo's shipments of Switch in October were up 30% year-over-year.
If you want a Switch this holiday season, it's going to be incredibly hard to find. Hopefully those of you who wanted one as a gift have locked it down already!
Going Under has gotten a major update on Switch. This "Bug-Slaying" patch includes a number of bug fixes, tweaks, and much more. Check out full patch notes below.
Features:
Added an option to turn off the jitter effect in the menus (This was meant to be in to begin with whoops)

Added the option to invert the camera’s X-Axis control.

Confidence Juice and Tappi’s max-level mentor bonus now play music to let you know how long they last.

Nerfed the Rifle from 100 shots to 80

Slime Hand’s scissor attack has been made a bit easier to avoid.
Extended the length of Retaliatory’s damage buff from 2 seconds to 3.
Fire Grates in Winkydink now turn off when the combat concludes.
Bug Fixes:
Fixed an issue where extra connected controllers would fail to function (and even some keyboards & mice from the future would cause this)
Fixed an issue where force closing the game during Ray’s “app announcement scene” could prevent apps from unlocking for the rest of the game
Prevented Eclaire from glitching into walls & floors
Fixed issue where walking Eclaire or possessing a debt ball would cause you to teleport around when riding a vehicle.
Fixed an issue where dollars wouldnt succ to Jackie if she was Downsized
Fixed an issue with a rare Winkydink room containing a weird hat with no weapon icon

Over-protective now works properly when used as a Pinned Skill
NPC’s names now appear properly in dialogue scenes
Steam achievements relating to completing mentorships now work properly. If you’ve already reached level 4 with a mentor and failed to get their achievement, completing a dungeon run (or just entering a dungeon and abandoning) should grant you the achievement.

Team Player now reacts properly to the player taking fire damage.
Prevented the player from defeating a boss and triggering the victory cutscene in the same frame as being defeated
Companions now set themselves to either side of Jackie instead of right on top of her when entering new rooms, preventing an issue where you could be shoved into the void by your companions in certain dungeons
Fixed an issue where only Forbidden Flavors would spawn once unlocked
Fixed an issue where using Swomp’s chill zone too much would break it permanently
Fixed an issue where the hurtboxes of Hover Hands’ hands were inaccurate.
Prevented an issue where completing a mentor level at the same time as getting the 3rd Share could soft lock game progress until restarted.
Fixed cubes turning bright white when opened.
Fixed an issue where picking up an app in a room that offered a choice between skills would despawn all the skills

Removed a brief moment where the background would be visible after the credits ended
