Today’s weekly news update is brought to you by a third
party reporter…. Not really, but we will cover some recent news on third party
products.
Xenoblade Chronicle 2 Update
On the 29th of March, a new update for Xenoblade Chronicle 2 was launched.
This update is rather small, but it does fix quite a number
of technical bugs. There have also been a few very minor changes, such as a new
NPC named Momoni that can be found during chapter one of New Game Plus. One
last thing added in this update is the ability to receive the New Quests Pack
2. This can only be received if you have the Expansion Pass.
ARMS Discount
As a head’s up, there is a special discount for the game.
From now up until April 6th, you can get 30% off the game in the
eShop. This brings the price to $41.99. That is about an $18 discount, so it is
worth checking out.

Mario Kart +
Monopoly
Derailing from the normal console news, there has been a
surprise reveal. A new Mario Kart themed edition of Monopoly has arrived. This
Monopoly Gamer: Mario Kart edition game has some new features based on the
Mario Kart series, so let’s dive in.
In this version of Monopoly, you can potentially buy iconic
properties such as Rainbow Road and Bowser’s Castle. There will also be obstacles
in your way, such as Banana Peels and shells. As an added side game, whenever
someone passes or lands on the “Go’ space, a mini Mario Kart race occurs where
players compete for the Grand Prix Card. Also, the new character tokens will
have their own unique Power-Up ability.
This board game is available now at GameStop and will be
available soon at other retailers. The retail price is $24.99.

Third-Party Accessories
for the Switch
In a recent news development, there has been an issue with
third-party accessories for the Switch.
This issue seems to derive from the latest 5.0 update for
the Switch. After users have updated to this version, third party accessories
not only defect, they also cause the Switch to brick, or essentially shut down
completely. Some brands for these third party accessories include Nyko and
Insignia. There has been some debate on what is causing this and some speculate
there may have been some coded added in to render these products useless. No
matter the cause be safe using these products and I would recommend sticking to
your Nintendo-verified products for now.
Well, that’s all for this week, so I hope to “see” you next
week.
