Japanese Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Challenger playlist was updated recently — sign that new characters and a Direct are inbound? — A new Nintendo Direct may be closer than you might think. This could be another Smash focused Direct like the one we got back on August 8th rather than a Direct that covers multiple Nintendo games. Thanks Wyvern on Discord Sneasel, a keen-eyed individual on Gamefaqs, noticed that the Japanese Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Challenger playlist on YouTube was updated fairly recently. This seems to suggest that one or more private videos are now present inside of the playlist.

Motion controls in Pokemon Let's Go — At the start of a Pokemon catching encounter, the only input needed is choosing an item and pressing the A button to throw a Poke Ball. No motion controls required. This is easily accomplished if the Switch is completely stationary, such as when flat on a table. If you want, you can move the camera while in a catching encounter with the left joystick, though there is no obvious reason to do so. However, motion controls cannot be turned off. So, if the Switch in handheld mode is physically moved, the movement would trigger the motion controls, causing the camera to move with it.
PSA: If you live in Europe and want to purchase “South Park: The Stick of Truth” make a US account and buy it from that estore, otherwise huge portions of the game are cut out. : NintendoSwitch — Have to make a note here to clarify some of the info. While the game is censored in EU and AUS regions, there are only 7 scenes that are taken out of the game. They are replaced by the image that OP linked. Have a video of how the scenes look in the EU version of the game (watch out for possible spoilers). Each scene is around 20 seconds long, and even then, only 2 of the 7 scenes requiere player input for a specific minigame. You are NOT losing 1-2 hours of gameplay.

Cloud Saves Will Last Six Months After A Switch Online Subscription Ends — Original Source IGN was a pain to link to. Nintendo clarified exactly that in a recent statement to IGN. “If a Nintendo Switch Online membership expires, users won’t be able to access their Save Data Cloud backups,” a spokesperson for the company said. “However, Nintendo will allow users who resubscribe within 180 days to access their previous Save Data Cloud backups.”

I called Nintendo about cloud saves — So I called Nintendo to ask about the cloud save stuff that I brought up last episode. I have to say it was one of the best customer service interactions I've had. This isn't a huge surprise as it was the same when I called about my left joycon. I asked two questions. The first was in regards to my son playing a game from my account on his switch using my account and weather or not cloud saving would overwrite my save. It took a couple of tries to get them to understand the question, but once we were on the same page there was a long pause she responds with "That's a good question" She passed the question on and we chatted about games while we waited for a response. "After a while the answer came back with yes, it will overwrite your save" She also explained that it is more than you just can't play the same game at the same time. She told me "If he plays any game from your account, you can't play any game using your account at the same time" My second question was "After my subscription is up next year is there a grace period before my save data will be deleted" Her response was "We are unable to guarantee that your save data would be saved after an extended period of time once your membership is cancelled" I responded with, okay can you define "Extended period of time" and they responded with "No we cannot define that at this time"

Ideas for Splatoon BR — Casual Cleric: Ok. Splatoon Battle Royale. 8 players, knock out 2 every 3:00 minutes. That way, you only have 8 colors of paint, and you aren't drastically changing a popular Nintendo property in a way that is just to conform to the battle Royale craze. Kills vs paint coverage would have to be tuned. Don't know what the criteria would be, maybe a different category each round. 1st round splats, 2nd coverage. 3rd round sudden death. One splat and you're out. Wyvern Ripsnarl: 1st round: Specials Gathering, 2nd: Coverage, 3rd: SD
