Just like in 2019, Nintendo decided to close out 2020 with an Indie World Showcase. Nearly twenty games were shown, and a few were announced and released on the same day. Among Us, Grindstone, When the Past Was Around, and Calico all dropped on the eShop. We also heard about titles like Spelunky 1 and 2, Gnosia, and Alba: A Wildlife Adventure. You can find the full recap here.

With everything that was shown, what was your personal highlight of the December 2020 Indie World Showcase? Have you tried out any of the new games that released earlier in the week? Let us know in the comments below.

Immortals Fenyx Rising

Another update is live for the Switch version of Immortals Fenyx Rising. Ubisoft has prepared version 1.0.4, which includes performance improvements and more.

The full patch notes are as follows:

One Twitter user has come out with a bit of a wild Nintendo repair service story.

sam_nama lost a wedding ring after his daughter placed it inside a Wii U. He ended up sending it in to Nintendo, and thankfully, it was recovered. The Big N even went as far as to clean the ring. Of course, the Wii U was repaired as well.

sam_nama says he didn’t anticipate that his daughter would actually go ahead and shove the ring in there. She seemed to think of it like a piggy bank. Fortunately, it all turned out well in the end.

Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythmic Adventure Pack

System: Switch
Release date: December 3, 2020
Developer: Bandai Namco
Publisher: Bandai Namco


If you’ve ever longed to control a pair of sentient taiko drums and fight alongside Marie Antoinette to prevent the space-time continuum from collapsing on itself, then the Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythmic Adventure games were custom-made for you. Once exclusive to the 3DS in Japan, Bandai Namco has now brought its role playing taiko adventures to the west for the first time. Taiko rhythm gameplay and RPG mechanics might seem like an odd blend at first blush, so a major question naturally arises: are these roleplaying spinoffs an offbeat adventure, or do they stick to a solid rhythm? Let’s strike up a drum line and find out.

Minecraft Dungeons

Minecraft Dungeons was patched on Switch this week, bringing the game to version 1.7.3.0. The update is intended to address a few issues that recently appeared.

Below are the full patch notes:
