New Switch
Accessory
On Wednesday, a brand new accessory was announced for the
Nintendo Switch.
The brand new accessory is a new adjustable charging stand
that allows you to play Tabletop mode longer. The AC adaptor is on the side, so
it makes it easier to charge. The adjustable stand lets you adjust the stand at
an angle that is comfortable for you to see. Tabletop mode is intended for
players to play the Switch without a TV, but still have a sense of playing on a
TV. Now with this new accessory, it makes the mode more enjoyable than ever.
The stand come out June 13th and will retail for $19.99.

ARMS Demo
On Thursday, April 10th, a demo for Arms came out.
Unlike previous demos, this one can be played offline. The demo lets you play solo or with a
friend. You can choose to play as Master Mummy, Ninjara, Ribbon Girl, Spring
Man, or Twintelle. The demo also lets you look at the Badges, Dashboard and
Gallery areas. The game is definitely worth a try, so if you’re undecided, definitely
try the demo.
