It’s been another strong week for Nintendo Switch software titles in Japan, with half the top ten comprised of games on Ninty’s hybrid hardware. However, Mega Man didn’t perform quite as well as Capcom was probably hoping, with the combined Mega Man Legacy Collection debuting at number nine. In other words it failed to sell as many copies as any of the other Switch entries in the top 10, and sold a fraction of what Dark Souls: Remastered racked up on PS4.

1 [PS4] Dark Souls Remastered (From Software, 05/24/18) – 71,739 (New)
2 [PS4] Detroit: Become Human (SIE, 05/25/18) – 39,548 (New)

20 [PS4] The Caligula Effect: Overdose (FuRyu, 05/17/18) – 3,008 (23,408)

In terms of hardware sales, Switch continues to outsell PS4 by a considerable margin, with sales around 3,000 units up on last week’s performance. Its encouraging news from a hardware perspective, especially with Mario Tennis Aces so close to launch.

1 Switch – 36,590 (33,125)

3 PlayStation 4 Pro – 4,887 (4,536)

Soapbox features enable our individual writers to voice their own opinions on hot topics, opinions that may not necessarily be the voice of the site. In today’s article, staff writer Ryan explores the new approach to gameplay found in the upcoming Pokémon games and why they might just be the moment of relief the series desperately needs…

---

So, Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let’s Go, Eevee! have finally been officially unveiled and the response from fans has been unsurprisingly mixed. Seemingly acting as an exact middle ground between the mainline entries to the series and Pokémon GO, these new titles look set to provide a very different experience to what the core series fans will be used to by now, and one that definitely appears to lean towards the more ‘casual’ style of gameplay.

I realise that these next few words will cause irreversible outrage among some fans, but I think that this approach is exactly the kind of breather the series desperately needs. Recent games (yes Pokémon Sun and Moon, I’m talking about you) have started to become ridiculously complex – the avalanche of Ultra Beasts, different forms, 800+ character Pokédex, IV training, and more abilities and movesets than you can shake a Sudowoodo at have become sadly off-putting over time – and I dread to think how series newcomers must feel when they realise what they’ve gotten themselves into.

As much as my younger self used to love the depth and detail of each new release (I even made sure to have a complete living Pokédex for each generation) a mixture of slowly becoming an adult with those pesky responsibilities, and a natural decrease in general gaming time, means that I no longer have the effort or desire to keep up with these time sinks. I don’t think I’m alone in this, either; the increase in popularity of quick, 15-minute bursts of portable gaming makes sense when you think about how fast-paced the world around us feels these days.

Back to the games themselves, these new Let’s Go titles are positively oozing with the idea of simplicity; anyone can pick up and play, catching Pokémon is as laid back as it is in Pokémon GO, and having the monsters roaming around on screen removes the tedious walking back and forth needed to find that wild Ponyta you’ve been after for decades. The best thing about GO, for me at least, is how it sits in your pocket, happily chilling until you feel like having a quick go, and these games appear to take that vibe and apply it to a much more gamer-focused setup.

The thing is, despite this shift to an easier way of playing, it still looks to be full of the charm and magic we’ve come to know and love. The nostalgia of that almost over-loved first generation should win over the series’ older fans (at least to some extent), and the easy-to-pick-up approach should enable newer and younger players to have fun (which is what gaming is supposed to be about, after all). The only people I can imagine being genuinely put off by this are those who play competitively, or those who invest their time into the deeper underworld of the series’ breeding and training, but there are plenty of other Pokémon games still out there that can provide all of that and more.

For me, Pokémon has always been about completing my Pokédex and beating the main story, feeling an immense amount of pride as that cute little Caterpie I once had stands strong against the Elite Four as a beautiful Butterfree. These games can give me that same sense of adventure, but on a less daunting, less demanding, and much more relaxed scale. As I’ve evolved through childhood, my teenage years, and now into the beginnings of a new chapter, I’ve started to place much more value in the simple things that can make me have fun and be happy, and these games may be able to do just that.

Of course, I’m not saying that I want Pokémon to fully transition to this style of play forever – there are plenty of benefits that come as a result of the more traditional approach to the series, and I’d want every Pokémon fan to feel like they have something they can enjoy. Luckily, the next entry looks set to return to those formalities, and I’d love to see a world where the two styles happily coexist, allowing players to pick the style most appropriate for them.

Maybe it’s just me, but seeing Pokémon wandering around an open-style world, having a Pikachu sitting on my shoulder, and pretending to throw a real-life Poké Ball at my favourite creatures on my TV, is the kind of game I would have dreamt about as a kid. It doesn’t have to become the norm for the series – and it likely won’t – but these new games could well be the perfect filler until the next one arrives in 2019. Bring on November.

So what do you think about the blend of gameplay styles found in Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let’s Go, Eevee!? Do you think it could work nicely, or are you upset with the new direction? Make sure to share your thoughts in the comments.

Anyone who lingers on the pages of Nintendo Life will know that we love ourselves a good Switch update, especially when one golden word is mentioned: “stability”.

Yes, Version 5.1.0 has now gone live and is available to download to your console, although there isn’t all that much to shout about. Here are the full patch notes.

– General system stability improvements to enhance the user’s experience

Yep, that’s it. Gone are the days of hefty updates and fixes – looks like the stables have turned. (Sorry).

Now then, excuse us while everyone in the office attempts to lift their Switchs up from their desks Sword In The Stone-style. They’ve become so stable, balancing perfectly and solidly on a single corner, that we simply can’t disturb them. 

Thanks Nintendo!

Despite the almost inevitable Fifa 19 not receiving any official announcement or specific platform confirmation, it appears that a Switch version of the game is firmly in the minds (and therefore development) of the team at EA Sports.

Speaking to DreamTeamFC, Fifa 18 producer Andrei Lazarescu has spilled the beans on how the newest instalment will run on Nintendo’s console. Unsurprisingly, the game will be running on the same custom-built engine as Fifa 18 did before it, but players can expect to see a boost in graphical details as the studio learns from, and gets to grips with, the new engine.

“The intent was never to have a one-off custom engine that we’re never going to touch again, it was to have that as a baseline and then build from there.” – Andrei Lazarescu

Lazarescu then went on to note how some of these improvements are already noticeable in the recently released World Cup update – which has been causing some trouble for some Switch users since its launch. Added crowd features such as face paint and hats “seem better than what you’ve been used in the core version” he said, adding that “we’ll see more of that in the next years”.

Hopefully, as EA Sports further develops these Switch foundations of the game, we’ll start to see nice touch-ups that steadily progress the series on Nintendo’s platform. While the idea of Fifa using some of the Frostbite Engine’s technology seems very unlikely, Lazarescu doesn’t want to rule that possibility out entirely, stating that he’s “not closing the door on that possibility, however we didn’t want to create a dumbed-down version” of it.

We will, of course, have to wait and see what the game looks and plays like when we see an official announcement from EA in the future. Until then, though, what would you like from future Fifa entires on Switch? Let us know your hopes and dreams down below.

Nintendo Switch has already had a decent run of musical-minded games action-rhythm titles, and it’s set to another this year in the form of MUSYNX. We already know its due to get a physical copy with limited edition art, and know we’ve learned its library of songs has grown three new tracks.

These challenging compositions include ‘Magic Girl Cook’ by XiWangRenSuoHeZi, ‘Ba-Miao-Zhi-Yu’ by PoKeR and ‘Dependent Disease ‘ by the Vocaloid composer Araragi Takeshi – and all three are likely to put you to the test. The game now has more 90 songs to choose from, so you’re not going to run out of tracks to test the rhythm of your fingers when it arrives this spring on Switch.

Will you be adding MUSYNX to your collection in 2018? Share your thoughts on this musical masterpiece below…

Pokémon Quest is a free to start game, which means that at some point you’re probably going to have to drop a bit of cash to get the most out of it. You can comfortably play for free, but your progress will be super duper slow unless you buy an expedition pack or three.

There is a way you can mitigate this though, and that’s by hoarding PM Tickets. These stand for Poké Mart Tickets and you can spend these in – you guessed it! – the Poké Mart. Here you can buy decorations that increase your item drop rate, Pokémon catch rate, and the experience you gain from going on expeditions. There are also box expansions that let you collect more Pokémon and Power Stones.

Curiously, you can’t directly purchase PM Tickets using your real life cash. Instead you have to earn them by playing, and in this guide we’re going to tell you exactly how to do that.

How to get free PM Tickets in Pokémon Quest

Get your free Member PM Tickets once per day

The easiest way to get yourself a bunch of free PM Tickets is to collect the batch you get for free from the Poké Mart once per day. You only need visit the Poké Mart, tap on the big PM Ticket sign, and the PM Tickets are yours.

By default, you get 50 free PM Tickets per day, but you can increase this by purchasing DLC from the Nintendo eShop. The maximum number of free PM Tickets you can currently get per day as part of your membership is 190, and that requires grabbing the Expedition 3-Pack Bundle for £26.99 / $29.99.

Complete quests

You get an absolute ton of PM Tickets just for completing quests, as well as ingredients you can use for cooking to attract new Pokémon. You’ll complete a bunch of quests just by playing the game regularly, but it doesn’t hurt to take a quick glance to see if you’re close to beating any others. That way you can prioritise certain activities to beat them quicker.

There are two different types of quests: Main and Challenge. Main are the more straightforward of the two, pretty much requiring you to perform activities for the first time or complete a level. Challenge quests are basically collector challenges, requiring you to collect or encounter a bunch of Pokémon of a certain type, collect and use moves, and cook various recipes. Basically everything you can collect, you can complete a quest for it here.

What to spend your PM Tickets on in Pokémon Quest

Decorations

If you plan to play primarily for free, we’d recommend you prioritise getting decorations in as soon as possible. These will help speed up pretty much everything in Pokémon Quest, from levelling up Pokémon to catching them by cooking.

Ignore the bottom row for now though. You get all of them as part of the 3-Pack Expedition Bundle, and you might decide you want that at a later date. The decorations at the top of the list you can only get using PM Tickets, so grab a few of them. It doesn’t really matter where you start though, as you’ll want them all eventually. Prioritise stuff that matters to you.

Collection boxes

Initially, you can only collect 20 Pokémon and Power Stones, which isn’t very much at all. If you plan to play for free though, it will suffice for the first few days at least, so focus on getting a few decorations in instead.

However, if you are a paying customer, then upgrading your collection boxes should be your first priority. You get a ton of decorations depending on which Expedition Pack you go for, so you’ll be well covered there for now. 

Pokémon collection box expansions should be your first priority, seeing as you’ll start to collect a lot more Pokémon when you have two or more cooking pots. Besides, you can use your Power Moves across all of your Pokémon, so if you don’t mind swapping them out each time you edit your team, you can get away with only having 20.

It’s time for another Nintendo Download update on the Switch, 3DS and Wii U eShops, which brings with it all manner of new games, demos, discounts and themes to add to your virtual collection. We’re sure you’ll find something to your liking in this week’s haul. As always, be sure to leave a vote in the poll and a comment in the comments section below…
