Switch was updated to Version 8.0.0 recently, and it included a bunch of new features. The update has also rendered at least one game completely unplayable. For whatever reason, de Blob will not move past the first loading screen. The game will hang, and then an error code is spit out. This issue impacts both the retail and eShop versions. Hopefully THQ Nordic works on a fix soon.

Well, I guess the fable would play out a bit differently in real life. Splatoon 2's SpringFest, which pit the tortoise against the hare, has wrapped up. The winner in a 2-1 victory is Team Hare. It was definitely a close battle, but Team Hare just wanted it more, I guess!
We've had character reveals, character leaks, and DLC character datamining details. We've had tons of character info on Mortal Kombat 11 so far, but some fans want more. A few hopefuls were holding out for the game's Krypt mode to include a few more unlockable characters, but that's not going to be the case.
NetherRealm themselves have said that The Krypt doesn't hide unlockable characters within, but you will be able to get a ton of items, including some rather nostalgic ones.

There are two games on the Switch that use a higher-speed GPU profile when being played in handheld mode; Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey. We now have our first third party title to join them, which is Mortal Kombat 11. The game utilizes the 460mHz profile, which gives a boost to the graphics, but depletes your battery faster.
As you are well aware by now, Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster's retail release in the states include Final Fantasy X on a game card, and X-2 as a download code. Now here's where things get a little annoying. Even though X-2 is completely download, you can't play it without having the Final Fantasy X game card inserted into your Switch. A minor nuisance, but it stings that much more for fans who were hoping both games came on one card in the first place.
If you've been following along, you already know that Mortal Kombat 11's DLC character roster seems to have leaked. Following that news, we now have dialog interactions between those DLC characters. Again, this is heavy spoiler territory, so only hit the jump if you're 100% okay with that.
