Last week, Devolver Digital said it has over a dozen releases planned for Switch this year. A listing on the European eShop reveals one of these mystery games to be Not a Hero: Super Snazzy Edition.

Not a Hero: Super Snazzy Edition was made by Roll7, the developer of OlliOlli. The game is described as a “2¼D cover-based indie shooter”.

When Hot Gimmick: Cosplay-Jan came to the Japanese eShop this month, the banner image used was a bit controversial. This was primarily due to the outfit and pose from one of the depicted characters.

Perhaps in response to the controversy, the main eShop image for Hot Gimmick: Cosplay-Jan has been changed. It’s not clear if Nintendo forced the picture swap, or if Zerodiv specifically requested it. Nintendo did sign off on the eShop page initially, and we’ve seen cases in which developers have changed eShop images in the past.

To compare, this was the original banner:

Best Buy has opened pre-orders for the new Wolf Smash Bros. Ultimate amiibo. You can reserve the figure here. The Wolf amiibo launches with Smash Bros. Ultimate on December 7.
