Nintendo Switch

Once again, Nintendo has updated its maintenance schedule for the coming week. A few different sessions are planned, all of which impact Switch.

The current schedule is as follows:

moldyclay has returned with an update to the fan-made amiibo compatibility chart. Several games have been added in, which makes sense since it’s been awhile since the last version.

If you’d like to keep up with the amiibo compatibility as there are quite a lot of games and figures involved at this point, the chart (actually, there are technically multiple charts this time) will come in handy. You can find a breakdown for Switch, 3DS, and Wii U specifically below.

Ding Dong XL

Ding Dong XL, which was only just confirmed for Switch last month, already appears to have a release date. If a listing on Nintendo’s website is accurate, we’ll be seeing the neon-infused one button arcade game on April 22 – that’s tomorrow.

Here’s an overview from the listing:

Moonlight Games opened a Kickstarter earlier this month for Hunt the Knight, a 16-bit action-adventure game set in a dark world. It takes inspiration from the likes of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne.

Hunt the Night is already a success having raised €25,000. That also means that a Switch version is secured.

Corcell Technology is back with another look at gameplay from AeternoBlade II. Check out the “Time Manipulation Abilities” video below.

Senran Kagura Reflexions

A new wave of DLC can now be purchased for Senran Kagura Reflexions. In both North America and Europe, Glorious Reflexology has been added to the eShop.

The DLC includes the following modes:

Edna & Harvey: The Breakout Remake 10th Anniversary Edition was announced for Switch last August. The game has now popped up on Amazon Germany, alongside the game’s boxart.

That’s not all for the series. Based on another listing from Amazon Germany, Edna & Harvey: Harvey’s New Eyes is also coming to Switch.

Castlevania Anniversary Collection

This week, Konami provided an update on Castlevania Anniversary Collection. We now know the full lineup, and that the digital package of classic games will be out on May 16.

Here’s a batch of new screenshots:

We also know that some folks have been curious about the price point for Castlevania Anniversary Collection. Like the Arcade Classics Anniversary Collection, it’ll cost $19.99 on the Switch eShop.

Puyo Puyo Champions

After an article was spotted in Neo Magazine earlier today, we appeared to receive confirmation that Puyo Puyo eSports is heading west. The game was listed for a May 7 release outside of Japan as Puyo Puyo Champions.

Adding on to how the news was revealed without an official announcement, an English trailer has leaked online. It states that the game is “available now”, though that’s clearly not the case. Assuming the trailer is real – and currently we have no reason to doubt it – someone obviously got their hands on the video early and prior to SEGA’s reveal.

New Super Mario Bros. U features quite a bit of cut content, mainly relating to items and enemies. Now thanks to the fan-created level and game editor known as Miyamoto plus YouTuber Ceave, we’re able to get a look at some of the things that were ultimately scrapped.

Here’s the rundown of what was left on the cutting room floor:
