That’s along with revamped multiplayer, making it easier than ever to play with friends.

Tinykin Challenge Update

Tinykin, which first appeared on Switch back in August, has just gone live with a brand new Challenge Update.

The update contains time-attack challenges across every region of the game, rewarding Milo with some fancy new outfits. After completing a room’s main quest, players will find a pair of new Hornet characters. Challenge them on the courses they’ve set up in Transidor, Sanctar, Foliana, Balnea, Ambrose, and Celerion (one short and one long course per zone), beat their gold medal times, and celebrate with fashion. Also teased are some extra surprises for those going the extra mile and 100% completing Tinykin.

Starting today, Switch owners can get their hands on Kaiju Wars. It’s available digitally on the eShop.

Kaiju Wars was announced in March, and we knew it would be available sometime this year. The game is a turn-based strategy experience in which players construct buildings and take command of an army locked in a hopeless struggle to take down gigantic monsters of increasing power as they attack the city.
