Today’s weekly news update is brought to you by cardboard. Yes, cardboard. However this cardboard can be used to make awesome inventions. 

Manticore-Galaxy on Fire Release

After some delay, Manticore-Galaxy on Fire has finally released for the Switch. 

Galaxy on Fire is a game based in space in a place called the Neox Sector. Your job is be the hero you can be by that rises through the ranks. With more than 8 hours of game play, this game will test your first person shooting skills. This game also supports HD rumble, a feature from the Joy-Cons.

Nintendo Labo Release

After a long wait, Nintendo Labo has finally released. I’ve already reported on the various kits and functions, but there are some small details I have yet to talk about. 

As you know, in Toy-Con Garage mode you can make any creation you want with the kits you have bought. In light of this, Nintendo will allow you to view and submit your creations to a user generated content (UGC) hub. This hub will allow you to also see other people’s creations. However, starting from April 20^th, you can submit your creations to earn some cool prizes, including a  Labo kit. The schedule for the contest is as follows:

• For best Decorated Toy-Con, submit your creation by May 11^th

• For best Toy-Con mod using the Toy-Con garage, submit your creation by May 25^th

• For best original creation, submit your creation by June 15^th

For more details, you can visit here. 

P.S. If you think that’s the best part, here’s a video of Bill Nye testing out Nintendo Labo with his new found buddy, Scooter.

After much wait, you can finally get Raikou or Entei starting April 22^nd. Let me tell you how to obtain one of these two legendary Pokémon. 

In order to obtain one of these two Legendary Pokémon, you must pick up your codes at your local Target Store. For Pokémon Ultra Sun, you will obtain Entei and for Pokémon Ultra Moon, you will receive Raikou. Each will be Level 100 and be holding a Golden Bottle Cap.
