Today’s weekly news update is brought to you by lots of
Nintendo Switches sold.
Nintendo Switch
sells over 10 Million Units
This week, Nintendo has announced a major milestone
accomplishment. The Nintendo Switch has sold over 10 million units worldwide!
On March 3rd, the Nintendo Switch released. Now
since then, the console has over 500 games to choose from its virtual shop, the
eShop. Some of the games come from independent game developers and others come
from major companies such as its own Nintendo EDP. The console has come a long
way since its initial release and it intends to continue that momentum into
2018.
The Switch retails for $299.99 and is available at GameStop,
Toysrus, Target, Walmart, Best Buy, and other various retailers. As a quick
tip, Target seems to be your best bet to find a Switch this holiday season.
Other retailers tend to have low stock on the console.

Super Mario
Build-a-Bear
Just in time for the Christmas season, a new line of Super
Mario themed Build-a-Bear has been released.
The new line showcases Mario, Bowser, and Yoshi as
Build-a-Bear bears. Well, Mario is a bear at least. Besides that, Toad is also
a pre-stuffed mini bear. There are other accessories and clothes, such as a
Mario hoody. There are also sounds for the bears, which include Bowser sound
effects and the Super Mario theme song. Here
is the link to the online shop for more details.
Mario Bear retails for $28.00, Bowser for $35.00, and Yoshi
for $25.50. The rest of the prices are online.

Pokémon Crystal
Announcement
It seems as though every day there is some new announcement
from the Pokémon Company. This week they have announced plans to release
Pokémon Crystal.
Pokémon Crystal released back then on July 29th,
2001 in North America. The game introduced the feature to play as a female
character and it also introduced animations during Pokémon battles. The game
releasing for the 3DS now lets you catch Celebi after finishing the game.
The game is set to release on January 26th, for
$9.99.

Pokémon Ultra
Moon/Sun Update
As mentioned before last week, a Pokémon Ultra Sun/Moon was
set to release this month. On December 14th, it went live.
The patch was meant to clear up some issues plaguing the game.
The issues included:
- A bug where Ion Deluge did not work
- Wide Guard reduced damage from all Z-Moves
- The first move is deleted if you teach a Pokémon with 3 or fewer moves a move at the Move Tutor
- If you chose Litten as your Starter Pokémon, the game would freeze
The issues have now been resolved, but as an unfortunate
consequence, Battle Videos from before the latest version will no longer
function.
Detective Pikachu
Movie Details
As this week’s fun tidbit of news, further news has been
announced for the movie.
The movie will have Ryan Reynolds voice Detective Pikachu
and Justice Smith star as Tim Goodman. Kathryn Newton will star as the reporter
helping Goodman solve a case of kidnap during the story.
The movie is slated
for a release date of May 10th, 2019. We should get a countdown for
this movie, despite it being 2 years and a half away from premiering.
Well, that’s all for this week folks, so I hope to “see” you
next week!
