The original Switch included a feature for finding missing Joy-Con controllers through vibration, but if they were buried under couch cushions, or lost somewhere with a lot of noise, it was difficult to hear. That feature is being carried over to the Switch 2, but as demonstrated in the Nintendo Today app, the new Joy-Cons now vibrate and make a pulsing beep sound, potentially making them much easier to locate.
The console version of the Killer Instinct 2 arcade game, called Killer Instinct Gold when it launched on the N64 in 1996, has been added to the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack. The arcade version of the game used pre-rendered clips for backgrounds of various stages, but the N64 version replaced them with fully 3D environments that moved more realistically with the game’s camera. The fighters themselves, however, remained 2D animations.
Similar to how Steve Jobs revealed the original MacBook Air in 2008, 8BitDo is teasing new hardware launching on May 16th with an image of a thin device being removed from a paper office envelope. There are no other hints as to what it is, aside from it being “Made for Pros.” Got any theories?
