There isn’t much time remaining in 2017, but Nintendo is gearing up for its busiest week of maintenance this year. A ton of different maintenance periods are planned, affecting individual games, the eShops, and Nintendo’s systems in general. Over a dozen sessions are currently listed.

Here’s the schedule as things stand now:

Portal Knights’ new update on Switch has arrived. Version 1.2.2 is now available for all players to download.

As far as we’re aware, the patch only fixes a memory issue that plagued the game previously. We’ll let you know if we hear about the update involving anything else.

Game Swing has announced that Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure Deluxe is heading to Switch. It’s launching on December 29 in Europe and January 4 in North America as a digital download.

Stikbold! is a unique dodgeball game with all sorts of different game modes, including a campaign. The exclusive Deluxe version for Switch features new content plus “improved features and gameplay for up to 6 players”.

We’ve included a bunch of additional information and a trailer below.

Bandai Namco has issued the first trailer for the newly-announced Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus. We’ve posted the video below.

Nintendo has announced a release date for Dragon Quest Builders on Switch in the west. North America and Europe will both be getting the game on February 9.

Bandai Namco published the first official details and screenshots for upcoming Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 content. We have the lowdown on Extra Pack 2 – featuring new character Fu – plus what’s planned for the next free update.

Flyhigh Works published the first trailer for Witch & Hero III on 3DS. Have a look at the video below.

Wolfenstein II

Panic Button has already worked with Bethesda to bring Doom to Switch. Unsurprisingly, the company has been brought back to help out Wolfenstein II on the console as well.

Senior game designer Andreas Öjerfors confirmed the news to Gamereactor. Öjerfors said that Panic Button is now a Switch expert, and given how Doom turned out, Wolfenstein II should end up being a great experience on Nintendo’s console as well.

Following the news that My Hero Academia: One’s Justice is getting a Western release, Bandai Namco UK has released a first English trailer for the game. That said, the trailer still uses Japanese voice acting. We don’t know yet if this is reflective of the full game, or if it’ll feature the English dub, or perhaps if dual audio will be an option. Also, it seems like Bandai Namco hasn’t quite decided on a name for the localized version yet – the trailer calls the game “My Hero Game Project”. We wouldn’t be surprised if the game was called My Hero Academia: One’s Justice in the West anyway though – especially since it was trademarked under that name in Europe.
