The indie success stories on Switch haven’t stopped, as two more developers have come forward with good news this week.

First, FDG Entertainment provided an update on how Blossom Tales has done on Switch. The company says that the Switch version has surpassed Steam lifetime revenue by 20x.

Kirby Star Allies

Kirby Star Allies launched around the world today. Alongside the release, Nintendo sent out the game’s first update. Version 1.1.1 is now available.

Today’s update adds in proper support for Chinese (Traditional), Chinese (Simplified), and Korean language options. Nintendo also says, “Issues have been fixed to make for a more pleasant gaming experience.”

The next Kirby Star Allies update drops on March 28, and will add Marx, Gooey, and character set “Rick & Kine & Coo” as new Dream Friends.

Original (3/15): Amazon has started taking pre-orders for the new Splatoon 2 amiibo. If you’d like to reserve the Pearl and Marina figures, you can do so here. Note that they’ll only be sold in a 2-pack in North America.

Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition

Koei Tecmo published a new wave of screenshots from Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition. We’ve gathered up the various images below.

Johnny Turbo’s Arcade: Gate of Doom made it to the North American Switch eShop last month. Flying Tiger Entertainment’s next arcade title, Bad Dudes vs. DragonNinja, is also on track for next week. But what about Europe?

You’ll be happy to hear that both of these games are due out in Europe on March 22. In case you’re curious, they’ll be sold for €7.99 each.

After Nintendo shared a European launch trailer for Kirby Star Allies earlier in the week, we now have a similar video for North America. View that below, along with a new “Heroes” commercial.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2

Xenoblade Chronicles 2’s next update will release later this month, Nintendo has confirmed. The version 1.3.1 patch is intended to address bugs.

With one of these issues, some common Blades may disappear when playing New Game Plus. The upcoming update will address that bug and more.

We’ll let you know when the update officially goes live.

Switch gained a new update this past week. While it added some features and implemented some improvements, it unfortunately seems to be causing major issues for third-party docks.

A number of docks not made by Nintendo have been released over the past year, including from Nyko. YouTuber Spawn Wave reports that his system has been completely bricked after using the company’s device with the latest Switch update. It simply won’t turn on, and it currently seems that all save data will be lost as a result.
