Nintendo Reveals Pink Joy-Con Switch Controllers Alongside New Princess Peach: Showtime Gameplay

Developer Rocksteady Studios has taken its new live-service multiplayer shooter set in the Batman: Arkham universe, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice Leauge, offline after Early Access players hit a «story completion» bug. While the standard edition of the game doesn't hit PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC until this Friday, February 2, players who purchase the more expensive Deluxe Edition, which costs $99.99 compared to the Standard Edition's $69.99 price tag, can jump in three days early. 

Publisher Bandai Namco and developer Spike Chunsoft Co., Ltd. have revealed 24 fighters for Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, and they're all Goku and Vegeta. Unsurprisingly, considering Goku and Vegeta are the two main characters in the Dragon Ball Z saga (amongst others like Gohan, for example), Spike Chunsoft is giving players the chance to fight using their various forms. This includes Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 2, Majin Vegeta, and more. 

I've been tracking developer Ubisoft Singapore's naval warfare multiplayer game, Skull and Bones, since its reveal years ago, both as a massive fan of all things pirates and someone who specifically loved the high seas action of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. I wrote Game Informer's Skull and Bones cover story back in 2022, and have played the game several times since then in previews, betas, and more. 

Nintendo is launching a pastel pink set of Joy-Cons for the Switch and Switch OLED on Mar. 22, and you can pre-order them now at Best Buy. They’ll debut on the same day as the launch of Princess Peach: Showtime! Peach’s upcoming solo adventure. Nintendo previously debuted pastel pink in a set of Joy-Cons in 2023 that included one pastel yellow Joy-Con, so this is your first chance to get a set that’s all pink.

Koji Kondo, longtime composer for The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Bros. franchises, will be inducted into the Academy of Interactvie Arts & Sciences Hall of Fame at this year's D.I.C.E. Awards.

Updated on January 24, 2024, by Josh Coulson: The first pre-orders for Nintendo's pastel pink Joy-Con are now open and available through the links below. The pair costs $79.99 and will be released on March 22, 2024, the same day as Princess Peach Showtime.

Nintendo has announced that it will stream full pre-recorded concerts for The Legend of Zelda series and its Splatoon franchise next month. Both concerts were set to be a part of Nintendo Live events in December of last year and this month, too, in Tokyo, Japan, but these events were canceled over safety concerns, as reported by VideoGamesChronicle. Now, everyone will be able to watch these concerts when they hit the official Nintendo YouTube channel next month. 

Things are looking rosy over at Nintendo, as the gaming giant has announced it will be releasing a new pair of pastel pink Joy-Cons for the Nintendo Switch.
