If you're looking to get a GameCube controller adapter for Switch in the UK, we've got some bad news. Amazon UK sent out emails saying the adapter was delayed, and now further information from Nintendo themselves confirms that the item has been delayed to May 2019.

Thank you for your recent pre-order of Nintendo GameCube Controller Adapter for Nintendo Switch through the Nintendo Official UK Store. We are contacting you as the GameCube Controller adapter has been postponed until May 2019 due to unforeseen production issues. Please rest assured that once we have a confirmed launch date we will notify you and does not impact any other Super Smash Bros. Ultimate items you may have pre-ordered at the same time.

That's quite a lengthy delay! Remember, there are third party options that will work just the same, and the original GameCube controller adapter for Wii U will do the trick as well.

Broly (Super Saiyan Full Power) is heading to Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 as DLC sometime this Winter. This update will also include the “Tournament of Power” stage. On top of that, there will be a free update that packs a Santa costume and Broly wig.

Arena, one of SMITE’s most popular game modes, is receiving a complete art update! Since this mode is so popular, we thought to ourselves: “don’t fix what isn’t broken.” So, the Arena map has minimal gameplay changes, ad mostly focuses on art, visual clarity, and feedback

Environment has been updated to more clearly differentiate between the two sides of the Arena and to better adhere to SMITE’s lore.

The Order side is themed around Greek Architecture and Hera
The Chaos side is themed around Roman Siege warfare and Bellona
The juggernauts have been replaced by Minotaurs!
They obey the same rules as before, they will continue moving toward the portal as long as an ally is near them
They will stop moving if no allies are nearby
Unlike Juggernauts, Minotaurs will attack when stopped
There are new audio cues when a Minotaur spawns or when a Minotaur enters a portal
Order and Chaos Minions have all been updated visually
UI icons for taking damage or death recap have been updated for new NPCs
The all new SMITE Arena is available to play right now! We’ll see you on the Battleground.

If you have a Poké Ball Plus and a Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! game, you're just a few steps away from taking your Pokémon for a stroll around your neighborhood. Plus, you can add the might of the Mythical Pokémon Mew to your game, because every Poké Ball Plus comes with a Mew already inside!

The first Pokémon RPG to appear on a modern home console is here! The adventure of Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! for Nintendo Switch is inspired by the beloved Game Boy game Pokémon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition. That classic has been reimagined to take advantage of the unique capabilities of the Nintendo Switch system while also incorporating the fun and intuitive Pokémon-catching mechanic found in Pokémon GO.

You can bring the Pokémon you've caught in Pokémon GO into your Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! game, where you can continue to train and battle with them in the Kanto region. The first step is pairing your Pokémon GO account with Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! before you can bring over any Pokémon. You'll only need to pair your Pokémon GO account with your Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! game once.

Darkness has fallen in a frigid land where unspeakable mutants have taken over. Only you, armed with a sponge, can help tame the darkness…
