Nintendo eShop

Nintendo’s upcoming maintenance schedule has received an update. The eShop will be impacted twice this month – the first time early next week on Switch, Wii U, and 3DS, followed by another period specifically for Nintendo’s current console.

The full schedule is as follows:

Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville - Complete Edition

Last June, EA said it would be bringing seven games to Switch over the next year. A few of these titles have already been released – Burnout Paradise Remastered, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered, and FIFA 21 Legacy Edition. Apex Legends and Lost in Random are also coming soon. 

That leaves us with two more games. One of the mystery projects should be the upcoming title from Mario Kart Live developer Velan Studios. VentureBeat claimed several months ago that Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville is also happening on Switch, and it now seems we’re getting close to an announcement.

Fire Emblem Heroes has revealed Dark Desert Rituals as its latest summoning event. It will feature Tharja, Katarina, Raphael, and Dorothea as a duo. A new paralogue story is also planned.

Dark Desert Rituals goes live in Fire Emblem Heroes on January 17 / January 18. View a trailer for the event below.

Hitman 3

IO Interactive shared a new Hitman 3 developer insights video this week. Below, the developer offers up behind-the-scenes details about what fans can expect from the conclusion to the World of Assassination trilogy.

Hitman 3 – Cloud Version is due out for Switch on January 20.

Citizens Unite!: Earth x Space

Citizens Unite!: Earth x Space is heading to Switch later this month. It’ll contain two games: Citizens of Earth and Citizens of Space.

Citizens Unite!: Earth x Space is planned for a worldwide release, but in the west, it’ll be digital-only. That’s in contrast to Japan and Asia, which is also getting a physical version. The good news is that English is supported and those that are interested in owning a boxed copy can import. Play-Asia is taking pre-orders here.

Kemco and Eden Industries will be bringing Citizens Unite!: Earth x Space to Switch on January 28, 2021.

New Pokemon Snap

Just like the original, New Pokemon Snap has a bunch of Pokemon to see and photograph. The game received a blowout of sorts this week and it was revealed this week that over 200 creatures will be included. We don’t have the full list yet, but based on everything shown up to this point, we know of about a quarter of the Pokemon that will be included.

Here’s the lineup thus far in alphabetical order:

Skul: The Hero Slayer

A new trailer is in for Skul: The Hero Slayer, an upcoming action-platformer from Neowiz and SouthPAW Games. Watch it below.

Skul: The Hero Slayer was last said to be on track for an early 2021 release on Switch. We have more information about the game here.

Moo Lander

The Sixth Hammer has announced that Moo Lander, its upcoming 2D adventure platformer, is in the works for Switch. We’ll be seeing it on the system sometime this fall.

Here’s a bunch of information about Moo Lander plus a trailer:
