Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury 1.2.2 update

Nintendo has come out with another Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury update, with the game moving up to version 1.2.2.

Nintendo can often be cryptic with its patches, and that’s once again the case here. Issues have been fixed – but these are unspecified.

The full notice is as follows:

Heart of the Forest

Wales Interactive, in partnership with Trapped Predator, today revealed Heart of the Forest for Nintendo Switch. The title is targeting a Q1 2026 debut.

Heart of the Forest is an interactive horror adventure game. The story revolves around an ill-fated hiking trip into the Black Forest, which spirals into a chilling fight for survival.

Here’s an official overview:

Star Garden

Confirmed today, Star Garden will be appearing on Nintendo Switch. This was made possible after clearing a $220,000 crowdfunding goal. 

If you’ve been keeping up with the Kickstarter scene, you may have heard about this one before. The interstellar adventure game takes inspiration from “from the high-energy chaos of Kirby Air Ride’s City Trial and the depth of Sonic Adventure’s Chao Garden”. On top of that, “it combines fast-paced action with meaningful growth and progression as well as the stylistic trappings and music reminiscent of Jet Grind Radio.”

Here’s a bunch of information:

Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs will soon be coming to an end. Not only will be delisted, but if you picked it up previously, it will no longer be playable. This was relayed on social media.

The first part of the process happens on November 1, 2025. On that date, the game will be removed from sale. Then on December 31, 2025, Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs will no longer be playable. Note that times may vary by region.

Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 is just a couple of days away, but if you’re wondering how these titles are looking on Nintendo Switch 2, new gameplay has come in to serve that purpose. Footage for both releases is now available showing everything in 4K.

Remember that on Nintendo Switch, Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 maxes out on 1080p. You’ll need to be playing on Nintendo Switch 2 for the resolution upgrade.

Coinciding with the launch of Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, we have a new launch trailer. The tactical RPG makes its comeback today, arriving on both Nintendo Switch and Switch.

Lots of details can be found in the following overview:

Absolum animated series

Absolum will be hitting Nintendo Switch in game form soon, but a new animated series has now been announced as well.

Supamonks, a production studio specializing in animation, will be handling the show. It will be “offering fans of the game a whole new way to explore its captivating universe.” The goal is to “build upon Absolum’s lore and narrative, expanding its universe beyond the game.”

Brazilian studio Pepita Digital has just announced that its newest game, Master Lemon: The Quest for Iceland, is on the way to Nintendo Switch. The title, inspired by real events, is scheduled to launch on November 4.

The game serves as a tribute to Brazilian André Lima, who tragically passed away in Iceland in 2016. Inspired by his story, creator Julio Santi decided to develop the project as a heartfelt homage.

In Master Lemon: The Quest for Iceland, players take on the role of an adventurer who dreams of learning Icelandic in the Nordic country, while also facing the challenge of saving the world from a plague that consumes memories.
