Nintendo Switch is getting 'No Man's Sky' this summer

Another announcement from the recent Nintendo Direct brings space exploration sim, No Man's Sky, to the company's portable console. Nintendo announced that it is bringing No Man's Sky to the Switch this summer, six years after its debut on other platforms. If you haven't played it before, the game lets you explore procedurally generated worlds across a vast galaxy. While the game had a rocky start on other platforms, the Nintendo Switch will get access to all its features right from launch.

'Kingdom Hearts' trilogy to arrive on Nintendo Switch on Feb. 10

If you've been waiting to play the Kingdom Hearts trilogy on the Nintendo Switch, your wait is almost over. Square Enix has announced that the three games, Kingdom Hearts - HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMix, Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, and Kingdom Hearts III, are coming to the console via cloud download starting February 10. It'll be priced at US$90 when it launches, but you can get a discount if you pre-order now for US$72. You can also opt to pick individual titles instead of the bundle. If you buy the all-in-one collection or just the Kingdom Hearts III version, you'll get the Advent Red Keyblade to use in the Kingdom Hearts III + Re Mind (DLC).

Since the game arrives as a cloud version, you will need a fast and stable internet connection to get a decent experience. As Engadget pointed out, it seems like a waste that the developer didn't remake the game to run directly on the Switch, given titles like Witcher 3 and the Assassin's Creed collection will run directly on the console. 

Twitch is now accessible on the Nintendo Switch

Twitch has finally come to the Nintendo Switch, allowing you to watch live streams on this handheld. You will get the same functionality available on other consoles, like on-demand videos. The app is for watching streams but not for streaming. After all, the device doesn't have a camera, and you'll need to route video through a PC to create content with it.

Nintendo delays 'Advance Wars' Switch remasters to spring 2022

Nintendo's remasters of the first two Advance Wars games won't be coming this December. Instead, the company announced that Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp for the Nintendo Switch will arrive sometime in spring 2022. According to a tweet from Nintendo, "The game just needs a little more time for fine tuning." Nintendo has "reimagined and rebuilt from the ground up," so perhaps that's why it needs a bit more time.
