[Expansion Pack - Nintendo 64]
There is no support for the Controller Pak. (It let you save in titles that have cartridges without battery-backed memory.)
Because of this, you *cannot save your game* in WinBack unless you use save states. You cannot save ghosts in MK64 either. twitter.com/itbetheplantma…

[Portal 1]
I managed to load Half-Life 2 in the Switch version of Portal 1!
It kinda works: the game occasionally crashes, some maps are impossible to progress in, NPC animations are bugged, saves don’t work, and world cameras don’t spawn correctly.

[Splatoon 3]
The Halftime Report is in, and Team Nessie is in the lead!

[NSO - Game Boy]
Version 1.1.1 was quietly released.
The sole change appears to be a tweak to the description for Kirby’s Dream Land 2.
“Rick the Hamster, Kine the Fish, and Coo the Owl”
became
“Rick, Kine and Coo, who look like a hamster, a fish, and an owl, respectively”

When “Limited” is open, an announcement will be made on the news.

[Nintendo eShop]
It is no longer possible to redeem download codes on the Wii U and 3DS.
(This may only affect some regions at the moment. The 3DS I tested on is from North America.)
Purchasing software is scheduled to be disabled on Mar 28 at 12 am UTC (~4 hours).
112
[Splatoon 3]
Let’s talk about how multiple King Salmonids will work.
As of now, the server assigns each rotation a random King Salmonid.
That King Salmonid will be the only one that appears. So, for example, you won’t see Cohozuna and Horrorboros in the same rotation.
113
[Nintendo Switch Firmware Update]
Version 16.0.2 is now out.
The bad words list and the SSL module (handles establishing secure connections to servers) was updated.
The word “adhd” was added to the Japanese bad words list. No other languages were affected.
114
[Splatoon 3]
A new special weapon will be added in Fresh Season 2023.
The “Super Chump” scatters a large amount of decoys in an area.
As the decoys fall, their landing spot is marked with a super jump marker. Decoys destroyed by enemies or left alone for a while will explode. twitter.com/NintendoEurope…
115
New gamemodes will be added to Tetris 99 in an update.
- "Team Battle": Two giant teams clash. Be on the winning side!"
- "COM Battle": "Battle against 98 bots. Defeat the machines!" (supports both 99 Battle and Team Battle)
- "Marathon": score attack -> 200 lines or endless

[Splatoon 3]
Photo Mode may become available to use in Recon in a later update (possibly in season 2).
It works exactly as it does in the Square.
As of now, it appears to be non-functional in online Recon, though the game’s code implies that it is supposed to work. twitter.com/asasasa98765/s…
118
[Splatoon 3]
You can now purchase the Expansion Pass from the eShop for US$25.
The pass will grant you access to wave 1 (Inkopolis Square, releasing Spring) and wave 2 (Side Order, releasing later).
You will also get the following bonuses immediately.

[Splatoon 3]
A Big Run will take place from Mar 4 at 12 am UTC to Mar 6 at 12 am UTC.
The weapons will be all random, with a chance to get the Grizzco Brella.
Horrorboros will also make its debut!

[Skyward Sword HD]
SSHD has leaked to the Internet.
Game codename is Shoebill.
The game was recompiled to run natively on the Switch. However, like Galaxy in SM3DAS, the GPU is at least partially emulated. (Hagi, SM3DAS’s emulator, isn’t used. Appears to be something new.)
