Luigi's Mansion 3 Gets a Fitting October 31st Release Date
With no release date given during E3, and only given a brief 2019 release date, it was inevitable Luigi's Mansion 3 would be receiving an update sooner or later to still meet its targeted release date. Nintendo have now announced that the game will be getting a rather fitting release date, being October 31st, also known as Halloween.
Nintendo games usually release on Friday's these days, but it seems with this title Nintendo are shaking things up a bit to give it something a little more special, as a haunted Luigi's Mansion game makes perfect sense to release on Halloween, which is a Thursday this year.

Nintendo Switch Lite Announced, Coming September 20th
Yesterday Nintendo revealed their newest hardware revision - the Nintendo Switch Lite - in an attempt to bring over their 3DS audience to the Switch era. The Switch Lite will be a dedicated handheld system, as opposed to the standards hybrid nature, and will release on September 20th.
The biggest change with the Switch Lite is that it's a handheld only console. That means no detachable joy-cons or IR, no HD rumble, no TV output (which means no docked mode gameplay), and no tabletop mode. Though these may be seen as drawbacks to those who wish to upgrade their system, the Switch Lite is intended to bring Nintendo handheld 3DS audience over to the Switch, and with games such as Pokemon and Animal Crossing on the horizon, this seems like a very smart move on Nintendo's behalf.
Introducing #NintendoSwitchLite – a compact, lightweight system that's dedicated to handheld play!
This new addition to the #NintendoSwitch family arrives on 20/09 in 3 different colours.

Spyro Reignited Trilogy Coming to Nintendo Switch
Announced during Nintendo's E3 presentation last week, was the news that the Spyro Reignited Trilogy would be coming to the Nintendo Switch later this year.
Though a lot of speculation lead many to believe the game would be coming in August, it doesn't seem they were too far off the mark, with the game officially announced to be coming to the platform on September 3rd. Much like the existing versions, it also seems only the first game will be on the cart, with the other two needing to be downloaded from the eShop. Oh, and it will also be coming to PC via Steam on the same date.

Like any in game event for Pokemon GO, wild spawns and raid bosses are a shoe-in, thus, Pokemon that appear in the movie will appear more frequently in the wild, as well as raid bosses. What these Pokemon are are currently unknown, but a promo video shows that at least Pikachu, Snubull, Jigglypuff, Aipom and Psyduck will be in this mix somewhere. It also implies Cubone will be here, as well as Charizard, Blastoise, Lickitung, Machamp and Snorlax appearing as raid bosses - though this part is purely speculative. Shiny Aipom will also be released in the wild, according to the Pokemon website.
