There’s no doubt that if you played the original Hollow Knight, you’ll be interested in Hollow Knight: Silksong. However, Team Cherry is hoping to grab new players as well.
The studio told EDGE this month that Silksong is intended to test players in a “comparable” way to the first game. At the same time, co-director Ari Gibson mentioned that the new title, with its own lore and characters, is intended to be “a perfect jumping on-point for new players.”

It looks like you’ll actually be able to adjust how often Bowser Jr. provides help. Nintendo sent out a Japanese screenshot of the settings for Bowser’s Fury, and while we can only seen one of the options, it equates to something like “from time to time” or “a little”.
Here’s a look at the settings:

SuperData estimate: Among Us sold 3.2 million copies on Switch in December
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
According to a new estimate from SuperData, the Switch version of Among Us sold 3.2 million copies on Switch during December. It was “the highest-earning version of the game for the month,” the report states.
That number is not official, so we do again need to stress that this is an estimate. Still, anything even remotely close to 3.2 million would be quite impressive.
We can say for a fact that Among Us has repeatedly topped the Switch eShop charts since launch.
