GameMill is planning a new Nintendo Switch 2 version of Snoopy & The Great Mystery Club, the company just announced. Currently we’re waiting to hear on launch timing.
Snoopy & The Great Mystery Club previously came to the original Nintendo Switch, but this upcoming version doesn’t seem to be a Switch 2 Edition – meaning there may not be an upgrade path. Additionally, there’ll be a physical release, but as a game-key card.
Check out the following details about the game:
THQ Nordic, alongside developer Quantumfrog, has announced the release date for its new game Pumuckl and the Crown of the Pirate King. The title is set to launch on March 5.

In recent years, the character has returned to the spotlight thanks to the TV series Neue Geschichten vom Pumuckl, as well as the feature film Pumuckl and the Big Misunderstanding.
