Ubisoft will officially launch South Park: The Fractured But Whole for Switch on Tuesday. But some folks have the game early, and we’re hearing that a big update has been issued.
The patch is significant, weighing in at 3.1GB. Unfortunately though, we don’t have the specifics of what the update entails at this time. The good news is that, even without the patch, South Park: The Fractured But Whole is completely playable on Switch.

Immortal Redneck, a first-person shooter set in Egypt with rogue-lite elements, is gracing the Switch eShop in May. Developer Crema announced this week that it’s on track for May 10.
There’s good news to share for fans of Doom’s recent Switch update, as Crema has confirmed that Immortal Redneck will have a similar control option. That means you’ll be able to play the game with gyro motion controls. Of course, it’s entirely optional, so standard controls will also be included.
Thanks to Mike for the tip.

The Snack World: Trejarers Gold debuted in Japan on April 12. Through April 15, the game sold about 35,000 copies. Dengeki further reports that it sold through 65% of its initial shipment.
Originally, The Snack World originally appeared on 3DS last year. It managed to sell somewhere around 100,000 copies in its first week with a 55% sell-through rate.
Given that the Switch release is an enhanced version that’s coming out a year later, The Snack World: Trejarers Gold had a pretty good debut. Sales may also receive a bump during Golden Week.
