Weekly Update e.15

Back again, and this week is a pretty exciting one because something happened that I had no idea was coming. Jimmy Fallon came through with some new Legend of Zelda footage on the Nintendo Switch! So we'll be checking that out among other things.

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on Nintendo Switch

Jimmy Fallon had Reggie Fils-Aime on his show this week to show him some Super Mario Run footage and gameplay, but after that, Jimmy was pleasantly surprised with the additional reveal of Legend of Zelda on the Nintendo Switch. Below is the gameplay that was shown:(Nintendo Switch starts at 6:01)

Super Mario Run 

Also on the show was Super Mario Run, the new app coming to iPad and iPhone come December 15. It'll be on Android phones and tablets next year. The app is $10 and offers three different game modes to play. Additionally, the game can be played with just one hand. It looks pretty awesome, but for $10, I don't know how sold I am on it.
