A Hat in Time Gets Nintendo Switch Release Date, Extras
A Hat in Time, the adorable throwback to '90s-era 3D platformers like Banjo Kazooie, arrived on PC, PS4, and Xbox One back in 2017. We gave it a great review score. A Nintendo Switch version was announced in 2018, and now we can finally reveal that A Hat in Time will arrive on Nintendo's latest console on October 18th, 2019. Pre-orders for A Hat in Time on Nintendo Switch should be up on Amazon by the time you read this.
Developer Gears for Breakfast conceived A Hat in Time as an homage to Nintendo 64 and PlayStation-era platformers that involved a lot of item collecting. An extremely successful Kickstarter campaign indicated there is still a demand for these types of adventures. It was revealed late last year that A Hat in Time had sold over a million copies.
Why This Year’s Pokemon TCG World Championships Will Be Extra Challenging for Players
This weekend will see hundreds of players from around the globe descend on Washington, D.C. to compete in the Pokemon World Championships 2019. The Pokemon Trading Card Game part of the event is of special note for having the largest cash prize, with $25,000 going to the winner of the Masters division, so players can expect fierce competition as they battle their way to the top. However, due to some unexpected shakeups heading into the contest, this year’s Worlds will be especially challenging for players.
The cause of all this tumult stems from the set rotation announced for the upcoming 2019-2020 competitive season. Normally, older cards are rotated out to make room for the new after Worlds, but this year The Pokemon Company International threw a curveball so Worlds will be the first event to use the new format and a brand new set, Unified Minds. Players usually depend on getting to practice their decks in big tournaments leading up to Worlds, but this changeup means there will be no major events to give them an idea of what the Worlds metagame will look like. There’s no data to analyze and no decklists to study, at least not in an official capacity.

Fortnite Apologizes for Selling Seemingly Reskinned Dog Pet, Offers Refunds
Epic Games is offering full refunds for the in-game Gunner pet dog item after players claimed a similar version of the item was offered as part of a previous Battle Pass. Epic also announced the pet will be removed from the game.
Earlier today, Fortnite added a new pet dog item to the Fortnite Shop named Gunner. Players could purchase Gunner for 1,000 V-Bucks, which is about $9.99 USD. Unfortunately, Gunner bears a striking resemblance to a season six Battle Pass pet named Bonesy.
Here’s a side-by-side comparison of the two pets created by Reddit user PhantomRacer32.
